Important Order Information

Photo Paper Info

PAPER TYPE
Color photos are printed on Luster-finish Fujicolor Crystal Archive Type II Photo Paper, which has an archival quality of 50+ years. Luster paper is a premium, professional photo paper, with a slightly textured finish that some call “pebbled,” that combines the best of glossy (a little sheen to give the colors some “punch”) and matte (resists and hides fingerprints, with little or no glare).

PRINT LONGEVITY FACTORS
Keep in mind that factors affecting the longevity of both color and black-and-white prints (i.e., sun exposure, mat and glass protection, protective spray coatings, humidity, pollution and the like) will be at play differently in each user’s home, work or gallery.

Print Quality

QUALITY DETAILS
All photos displayed online have received minimal enhancing and retouching in order to place them online as quickly as possible.

Once a photo order is placed, Deb Phillips individually color corrects, enhances and crops (as needed) each purchased image, with the attentive eye of an artist. Where possible, Deb also removes distracting elements/objects from photos. The finalized color image files are then uploaded to Deb’s photo lab service, which utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and calibration procedures. Your prints will be shipped directly to you from the PHOTO LAB in a timely manner.

FINISHING TOUCH
Deb adds her distinctive signature, copyright symbol and the year to the bottom of each color or black-and-white print (except color wallet-size prints) in a discreet manner.

Cropping Information to Consider

UNDERSTANDING ASPECT RATIO
The relationship of the length and width of a print is called the aspect ratio. Most cameras produce images with a 2:3 aspect ratio — which, for example, fits perfectly for 4×6 and 8×12 prints, and means that the entire image can be printed without requiring cropping.

Other print sizes, however, such as 5×7 and 8×10, do NOT have a 2:3 aspect ratio. What that means for these particular print sizes is that the LENGTH of the image will be shortened some on the print, usually cropping off a portion along each END of the length of the print.

In summary, whenever important subject matter spans the entire length of the image, a portion of the subject would be cropped off when being printed as a 5×7 or an 8×10 print, or any size print which does not have a 2:3 aspect ratio.

CHOOSING YOUR PRINT SIZE(S)
When selecting your print size(s) from a gallery price list, the sizes which require cropping will be denoted by the phrase, “some cropping required,” in the item descriptions. If the subject matter runs the entire length of the image, you may want to choose print size(s) that will not result in cutting off the subject on the long edges of the print(s).

Single Image Personal-Use Digital Downloads

DIGITAL DOWNLOAD SIZES
Digital downloads are available in three sizes:

Small digital files are available at a minimum size of 470 x 312 (horizontal) and 350 x 525 (vertical). They’re perfect for use on personal websites and social networks such as Facebook and MySpace. Small digital files are immediately downloadable upon payment. (NOTE: The size of most small horizontal digital images is actually 490 x 325. Please contact Deb if you wish to confirm the exact size of a particular small image prior to purchase.)
Medium-sized 1800 x 1200 digital files are perfect, for example, for electronic presentations, screen savers, wallpapers, electronic picture frames, as well for larger display on personal websites and social networks such as Facebook and MySpace. You can also print the 1800 x 1200 images — up to a 5×7 print — on your home printer or through your favorite photo lab.
Hi-Res digital files are the LARGEST files available. NOTE: Some files have been optimally cropped from their original 4304 x 2852 pixel dimensions. However, severe cropping is NOT typically practiced.

FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY
All digital downloads are for Personal Use Only. They may NOT be distributed to others outside your immediate family members. Personal-Use Downloads may also not be used for editorial, promotional, advertising, or commercial purposes without a written license from Deb Phillips. You will be asked to agree to a Personal Use License prior to downloading any digital files.

Please contact Deb if you’re interested in using a photo for PURPOSES other than for PERSONAL USE.

Shipping Information

SHIPPING COSTS
Shipping costs are based on multiple factors:

Shipping method chosen
Size and number of prints and/or photo products ordered
Packaging appropriate for guarding against potential shipping damage
Destination location (when shipping via FedEx)

During the shopping cart process — after the order is entered and the shipping method has been chosen — the shipping costs will be calculated and provided prior to the final order submission. You will have an opportunity to change the shipping method prior to the final order submission. Of course, orders are final after that point and cannot be changed.

SHIPPING OPTIONS
Choose from four shipping options:

USPS First Class Mail (Allow 5 to 10 business days)
USPS Priority Mail (Allow 4 to 5 business days)
FedEx 2nd Business Day (Allow 3 business days. NOTE: Does not ship to P.O. Boxes.)
FedEx Next Business Day (Allow 2 business days. NOTE: Does not ship to P.O. Boxes.)

FILE PREPARATION TIME
Deb will finalize your images and upload the files to her professional photo lab as quickly as possible. In most cases, Deb will upload your images to the lab within 24 hours of receiving your order. Please be aware that whenever an order involves multiple images, the time required to prepare and upload the files to the lab may be extended, depending on the number of images ordered. Once Deb has uploaded the files to the lab, your order will be placed next in line to be printed and shipped.

EXPRESS SHIPMENTS / SHIPPING TIMES
Please keep in mind that shipping times do NOT include the time required by Deb to retouch and prepare your digital image(s) for printing, nor does the shipping time include the production time at the photo lab.

In addition, please note that most orders ship from California, which is also a factor in determining how soon your order may arrive.

If you have a special express shipment that you want to have turned around quickly, please alert Deb by email. Deb cannot make any special promises, but she will bring this to the lab’s attention and have them move it through the work queue as quickly as possible.

MULTIPLE SHIPMENTS
If you have an order that mixes large and small prints, they may likely be sent in multiple shipments from multiple locations.

During the order notification process, you will be reminded that some orders may be shipped from multiple locations. Please be aware that it may appear that you’re receiving conflicting notices, and they may look like they’re “overlapped.”
