Black River Imaging offers a well-trained staff that is able to provide a host of artwork options. As we do not store the retouched images, you will automatically be sent a high-resolution cd or DVD of your retouched image(s) in the order. This disk is at no additional cost to you.
Ordering Retouching
- Once you have brought your image into the layout, click the Options button.
- Select Image Options
- Select the Retouching or Art service
- Add note by that service
- Then add your product to the order.
Standard Retouching is charged per head and includes evening of the skin tone but does not include scars or moles. If more than one subject is in the image please indicate who needs to be retouched. If no indication is made you will be charged for each subject.
Fill in an Area option you need to indicate the area to be filled in and what you would like it to be filled with. Multiple charges may apply if it is a larger or difficult area.
Clone Eye option is valuable when you have a subject with one or both eyes closed. You will need to indicate which subject needs an eye cloned and our art department will take an eye from another image. It is helpful if you indicate an image with the subject’s eyes open. (Bear in mind you will need to order from the image that you want us to take the images from in order to have the software include this order for transmission).
Remove Braces is an option that is not always possible. There must be sufficient amount of tooth available for cloning. If the area is too dark it will leave an unnatural look so we may opt to not attempt this request. In this case you will be notified and given the option of whether or not to continue with the prints from that image.
Remove Small Object & Remove Large Object these options would be treated much the same as fill in an area; please indicate which area you want filled in and with what.
Combine Two Images a common use of this option is when you need to have a person from one image added to another. As with the Clone Eye option, you will need to order a print both images so that they are sent to the lab.
Spot Colorization is a very popular option. This art option allows for a color image to be de-saturated and an area then brought back to full color. You will need to indicate which area you want colored in the instructions. The end result of this option is a black and white image (or sepia upon request) with one area that retains its original color. You will need to be sure to order this image in color. If you order black and white it will print the color portion in black and white also.
