A quick note about low-resolution proofs

Please note that low-resolution web proofs are created from the original raw images and most often have been reviewed and edited only for framing/cropping with the occasional edits for lighting, contrast, etc., when warranted, prior to posting. All high-resolution images are given a thorough review and edit prior to printing to assure the best print image possible. Due to the large number of proofs I often post for any particular shoot and the time it takes to review and post each one, the low-resolution web proofs rarely, if ever (mainly due to their size), reflect the ultimate print quality.

   Photo proofs are usually posted at low-resolution (reduced image size). The primary reason for posting low-resolution proofs is quick upload time at my end and quick download time at your end. The original high-resolution images are often 2,500k or larger in size, where the low-resolution proofs are generally between 50-90k.

   I try to find a happy balance between display quality and quick upload/download time, and this sometimes results in image pixilation to one degree or another. Any pixilation is a direct result of posting the proofs in a low-resolution (reduced image size) format and nothing else.

   This may best be explained by the photo samples below, the first showing a standard proof in black & white, and the other showing a high resolution color segment of the same image.
