Packages

Sized from your files, agreed in writing, priced in pounds

There are no figures on this page, and that is deliberate. A room takes as many frames as it takes to show it, and a frame takes as much work as the camera left it needing. Both are read off your own photographs, and both go into a written quotation before there is anything to agree to.

One room

A single space, shown properly.

What it covers

Every frame you took of one room: perspective, exposure, white balance and noise on each, matched to each other and written out in the sizes you need.

What sets the size

How many angles the room takes to show, and how much rebuilding the worst frames need.

Whole premises

Every room in one visit.

What it covers

The same work across the whole building, plus matching between rooms so that a viewer moving through the set does not see the light change from door to door.

What sets the size

The number of rooms, how many frames each of them needs, and how far apart the lighting conditions were.

A standing arrangement

Premises that keep changing.

What it covers

Repeat sets from the same place - after a refit, a change of stock, a new season - corrected to match the sets already delivered so old and new photographs sit together.

What sets the size

How often sets come in and how large each one is. Agreed once and confirmed for each batch.

What a quotation states

Every one of these is written down before you accept anything, so nothing about the job is left to be discovered afterwards.

  • Which frames are covered, and which were left out and why.
  • What is done to them, from the list on the Corrections page.
  • The formats, pixel sizes and file naming you get back.
  • The price in pounds sterling (GBP), as one whole amount with taxes included. Nothing is added to it afterwards.
  • The turnaround, and the point from which it runs.
  • How many rounds of revisions are included, and what a round is.
  • How long working copies of your files are kept before they are deleted.

Source photographs

What a set needs to arrive as

None of this needs a camera or a tripod. It is the difference between a phone photograph that corrects well and one that does not, and it is all decided in the thirty seconds before you press the shutter.

Send the original files

The file straight from the camera roll holds far more than a copy that has been through a messaging app, and a screenshot holds almost nothing. HEIC, JPEG, PNG and phone RAW or DNG are all fine.

Hold the phone level

Chest height, back straight, phone upright rather than tilted up or down. A level frame needs less rotation, and less rotation means less of the room cropped away.

Use the main lens

Digital zoom throws away detail before the file is even written. Step back instead; the ultra-wide lens is fine if you tell us you used it, because it bends straight lines and that is corrected differently.

Keep the lighting consistent

Within one room, leave the lights as they are for every frame rather than switching them between shots, and tell us which windows had direct sun on them.

Switch the clever modes off

Filters, beauty modes and heavy in-camera enhancement bake decisions into the file that cannot be undone. Plain photographs correct better than improved ones.

Cover the room

One frame from the doorway and one along each wall gives enough overlap to match the set. Tell us anything that must stay visible, such as a certificate, a sign or stock on a shelf.

Send what you already have even if it breaks half of this. Frames are judged one at a time, and where a set is not good enough as it stands you are told which rooms are worth walking back into, before anything is quoted rather than after.

Paying for it

How money actually changes hands

This site takes no payments. There is no basket, no card field and no account to open, because a job has to be looked at before it can be priced. Payment is arranged against the order confirmation, by card or bank transfer through the payment provider named in it. Card details go to that provider directly; we never see them and never hold them.

Prices are in pounds sterling (GBP). The figure in the quotation is the whole amount payable, taxes included, and nothing is added to it at any later point.
