Technical Information
SGS has adopted the Phase One Digital Imaging System, which is one of the world’s leading systems for capturing the highest quality images. On average, the system captures a RAW image file with approximately 45/60 megabytes of photographic data. When expanded into a proprietary format, like Photoshop, the image can reach sizes of 120/300 megabytes, at a resolution 300dpi – the repurposing potential is almost limitless.
Image Production
Understanding photography from the perspective of a photographer does not necessarily mean the image is correct for the layout or print. The Creative Services team understands it is not just arranging a product so it looks pleasing through the lens; it’s also about creating brand harmony and technical perfection.
SGS applies faultless image cleaning without scarring and leaving unwanted visual effects. Expert cosmetic and technical retouching ensures the product’s visual integrity and perception is not compromised.
