A Unique Art Imaging Service

We use a unique and innovative blend of photographic and scanner technologies to create a stunningly lifelike image of your artwork. We achieve a sharp and accurate image over a wide gamut of colours and contrast values for all artistic media. 

We use our own specially developed variable three dimensional lighting system during the imaging process (scanning) to capture texture in paintings such as oils and acrylics, or other highly-textured media. The depth of texture in the image is controllable, and we can offer a choice of results. 

'Flat' art such as watercolours, can be lit sympathetically to reproduce the medium accurately and reduce unwanted texture. 

No Need to Unframe

Generally imaging / scanning is better carried out on an unframed picture, but it can be done when framed, or even behind glass without significant loss of image quality.

Contact Free

Unlike flatbed scanning, we do not have to touch the surface of the art so there is no risk of damage.

Damaged or Faded art

As part of our standard service we offer editing of the image to correct lack of colour or contrast in the original, for example due to fading or sunlight exposure. We can also remove minor imperfections. We aim to improve the original where possible. 

Serious imperfections will require extra work (See the Retouching page).
