Longshots Photography Standard Terms and Conditions

IF SHOT DIGITALLY Images are supplied and checked on CD in photoshop jpeg file format. The files can be read by PC and/or MAC systems. Please note that exact specifications are required prior to saving digital files to CD. Please advise if you will be using these for PC or Mac, and if jpegs are suitable.

I offer at no extra charge (space permitting on the CD), a form of saving the files, so that they can be selected via your Internet Browser – called Web Gallery. Images can be easily viewed through this system, although the colour management does differ slightly – may look less saturated, due to the web using fewer colours. This is only intended for viewing purposes. The original files are also available on the same CD.

Terms

Please Check

Digital capture images are provided at approximately (minimum – some may be larger @ 34mb):

24mb Photoshop RGB file size @ 300dpi in ADOBE1998 Colourspace/Profile, (saved as Jpegs or TIFFs), based on my experience I believe that this should be suitable for your requirements as specified within your brief, but the responsibility for choice of image capture remains with the client.
