Resolution and Color

The images that you see on this web site are much lower quality than the prints they represent:

  • they have far less resolution (fewer pixels) than the actual prints to begin with;
  • the images have also been compressed.

Both of these factors reduce the image size and thus increase the speed with which they can be displayed on your computer. The reduction in image quality is tolerable because the resolution of computer monitors (usually around 72 pixels per inch vertically and horizontally) is far less than the resolution of the printer I use to create prints (2880 pixels per inch by 1440 pixels per inch).

Finally, the colors in the actual prints will differ slightly from those in the images you see here for several reasons:

  • the settings (brightness, contrast, color balance) of your computer monitor and the characteristics of its phosphors;
  • computer monitors emit light, while the prints reflect light;
  • the lighting conditions under which the prints will be viewed.

Despite these differences, you can order prints without worry because of our money-back guarantee.

For best results, I recommend displaying prints in a well-lit area. Too little light can dull down even the most spectacular images.
