Let us get your digital images ready for the web or other multimedia project, using format conversion, cropping, resizing, rotating, sharpening, colour adjustment, perspective changes, removing blemishes and a wide variety of visual effects.
A digital cut out is very similar to the hobby of cutting shapes out of magazines to make a collage, only with the computerised version it is a much more complex process. We are experienced in a wide variety of techniques used for cutting away the unwanted backgrounds of images, including selection by colour, selection feathering, cloning image areas, alpha transparency, colour matching and edge detection among others.
Below is a sample of a cut out using a stock photograph of a tiger sleeping on a rock in the wild and a photograph taken by us of a house in Vancouver.
Laying text over an image can be done in many ways to achieve a wide variety of appearances.
In this example, the font was given a stone textured 3D look, with colours chosen from the tiger.
Fading out the edges of an image is an effective way to blend it into the background of your document.
Choosing to fade out one or more of the edges, how far to fade out, or using other shapes such as elipses can create varying effects.
In this example the tiger on a porch photograph has had two effects applied to it. First, it was made to look like it was painted from oil, and second it had a texture applied to its surface to give it the appearance of a rough canvas.
Animated GIFs are a simple way to display small animations which can be viewed in any web browser without needing to install any additional plugins.
Bump mapping (also known as height mapping) is a technique to make parts of an image appear to be at different heights, which can be used to create many different effects.
In this example, a bump map of some words of text have been applied to a photograph of a wall, making it appear to be part of the wall itself. Another use of bump mapping is to apply a 3D texture (such as canvas, rock or burlap) to an otherwise flat image.
Embossing is one particular type of bump mapping, which is commonly used in computer software to give the appearance of being carved out of stone.
Making the border of your text glow helps it to stand out when you want it to be the main focus of the picture.
In this example the cut-out of the tiger is made to brightly glow.
We can perform hundreds of other effects on your documents, photographs and other images. Just let us know what you are trying to accomplish and we can work it out for you.
