Image Formatting:

Example 1
 CJB commercial image formatting service: Andrew Crummy (Tapestry of Scotland), Commissioned me to do formatting work on a large important Wall mural in Prestonpans. The mural had deteriorated badly from the weather over the years. A photograph had been taken of the mural a little while after it had been completed. The image was then processed to freshen and bring up the colour and detail, then scaled digitally to the same large scale of the original mural and the image resolution resolved for printing. before finally processed for large format printing on all weather canvas.  The advantage is that the mural can now be refreshed and renewed over time. You can see the ’Salt Mural’ today on Prestonpans High Street near the sea East Lothian.

Example 2: 
To commemorate the first the 1st important aerial battle of World War II over Britain, in which radar was first used and there was the first POW’s of the war amongst many other firsts. I was commissioned to photograph an oil painting of a Spitfire flying over the Firth of Forth. Although the painting was behind the glass, studio lighting resolved reflectivity and other problems. The studio photograph/Image was then scaled up to about two a half times its original size. Then the image was prepared for large format giclee art printing. Finally the image is now a centrepiece for an exhibition in the atrium of The Pat Gifford DFC Building, just off the High Street, east Prestonpans. -You can find out more about the history of the battle at: http://spitfire-project.com/index.html

Perhaps you have an image but need it for another use. Or you have an image but there are elements in it you need changing, people, objects, and environment can all be changed and moved around. Look again at the home page river picture –there is no river running through the center of Edinburgh. Imagine what I could do for your images.
