File Formats

The poster scans are made from the original slides at 5444x4000 pixels or new scans at 300 dpi. The original scans are stored in TIFF format 16 bits of colour, Adobe RGB colour space. The files are about 50 to 300 Megabytes each.

All originals require post-editing in for best publishing quality. We will happily do the following post-editing: cropping, colour level adjustment, and colour profile conversion, all included in the purchase price.

You can of course do the editing yourself if desired. However, do not order the original unedited files if you are not experienced in colour editing and colour profile conversion.

Quality

Some scans are made from photos of wall mounted posters with both spotlight and daylight lightning in 1978. (I.e. the scans have not been made by scanning the original posters with a professional drum scanner.) This means that the following points may have to be considered:

  • The colour and white point is not even over the whole picture.
  • The scans are not calibrated to any colour or lightning standard.
  • There may be reflections in glossy areas of the posters.
  • There may be slight geometric distortions.

If we determine that the quality issues make the poster you have ordered unsuitable for publication, we will inform you of that fact. You will of course not be billed if the poster is unsuitable for publication.
