SHOULD WE CAPTURE YOUR ART WORKS EDGES?
One of the first choices in art reproduction is whether to include the edges of the paper or crop them out. It's a visual decision that affects how the artwork looks on screen, in print, or when framed.
Option 1: Edges Included (Full Artwork Capture)
Description:
We photograph the entire artwork—deckled edges, corners, and all. You’ll see everything that was on the copy stand.
Best for:
- Preserving the look of the original sheet
- Highlighting paper texture or shape
- Online display, archives, or documentation
Option 2: Cropped (Just the Artwork)
Description:
We crop to the edge of the painted or printed area, removing the paper border for a clean, rectangular result.
Best for:
- Print-ready files
- Artwork that doesn’t rely on paper edges for context
- A polished, modern look
Choosing the Right Background
Options:
- White (default): clean and neutral
- Black: high contrast and dramatic
- Gray or custom: chosen for your piece
