We don’t require you to shoot a specific way (but whenever possible, shoot RAW!) We are more than happy to offer advice and we do have preferences but since we are a custom lab, we accept most file formats. Our preferences are as follows (all in 1998 Adobe Color Space): 1st – RAW 2nd -16-bit TIFF 3rd – 8-bit TIFF 4th -8-bit JPEG Fine (*important to select the largest file size possible!*) The better information you give us, the better your print will be. Raw files provide the most latitude and save quickly but are not available in every camera. TIFF files are large and take more computer time to open and save, but are not compressed and are the best at maintaining original image integrity. JPEGs are small and quick but degrade quickly and retain less information for printing. There are, of course, a wide variety of combinations and other choices that you can shoot in, and we can work with you to get the best print possible. Contact us with any questions.
