Important copyright disclaimer:

By printing with WHITEPOINT, you agree that you are the creator or copyright holder for the work being printed and that we are not liable for work that contains content that infringes on another party's copyright.

Retouching & Digital Restoration

Take advantage of our in-depth knowledge of color mastering.

We may do minor adjustments to your digital files before printing, but if your photos or art need more than basic adjustments before printing, we will let you know, and upon request provide you with an estimate of cost.

Color photo improvements

Camera type, indoor, outdoor, light temperatures, day/night all give different color and image qualities. Before we print, we check for:

• Light temperature

• Color cast and profiles

• Detail in shadows & highlights

• Straightness of verticals & horizons

• Unwanted defects, spots, etc.

Converting color to black & white for printing

Converting color photos to black and white is not straightforward. In order to get the quality of traditional black and white darkroom photos, we must:

• Adjust contrast and highlights

• Hold tones, introduce grain if desired

• Keep neutral tones similar to traditional silver gelatin prints

Digital Restoration

Historical or damaged photos and artwork can be masterfully restored. Dust, scratches and blemishes can also be removed.

• Remove spots, tears, aging

• Bring back details

• Improve fading and contrast

• Restore or add color

Exhibits & Installations

WHITEPOINT is a one-stop production studio for preparing exhibits and installations large or small.

A comprehensive approach

Curation

Every exhibition has its own unique requirements. We work with artists, curators, interior designers, art consultants, and program managers to design a cohesive exhibit, including image selection, placement, size relationships, image presentation, etc. - all geared for maximum viewer engagement.

Printing

Our digital print studio produces museum quality archival pigment prints of all sizes. We work with film negatives, slide film and digital originals. If the art or photograph exists only as an analog image, we will photograph or scan the originals. Our expert color mastering and use of cotton rag and fibre papers produces the best possible results. The Studio has the capability of producing all size prints on many different kinds of archival media.

Framing

Presentation of photographic prints and artwork is key to the success of an exhibit. We work with you to establish a framing/mounting plan and budget.

Delivery and installation

Depending on the location, insurance, building requirements, unions, etc., we may be available to deliver and mount the installation
