CALIBRATION
top |
The colour and brightness of computer monitors may vary, this simple information will help you to adjust your monitor to approximately the same settings as we use.
The controls on your monitor will probably be contrast, brightness and colour (red, green and blue).
1. Make a note of your current settings in case you wish to revert to them.
2. Turn the contrast to maximum.
3. Adjust the brightness until you can just differentiate between the grey and black squares below.
4. Adjust the colour until the squares below are neutral grey.
If you have a piece of card or paper which you know is a neutral grey, it may help to hold it next to these squares. |
CERTIFICATE
OF
AUTHENTICITY
|
Each print is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity which bears the edition number, the artist's signature and some architectural and historical information. The prints have an embossed stamp on the bottom left corner of the paper. |
| COLOUR |
Every effort has been made to make the images on the web site the same quality as the prints. However, the image quality on a computer screen is not the same as a print on watercolour paper. The colour of the prints will vary slightly from that on your screen but the vibrancy and richness of colour will be far superior on the prints. |
