The workshop
Drop an image
Three settings, not thirty: print size, material and origin. The rest is decided for you. The interface is in English; the plans and the account pages are still in French.
The computation runs on your machine. Your image is not sent anywhere.

Print size
These sizes share one aspect ratio, so one framing. Only the pixel count changes, and with it the time it takes.
Engine
Both produce the same file: chosen density and size, sRGB profile, metadata and print instructions included. Only the way the pixels are made differs.
Material
Origin of the image
What gets written into the file
The IPTC origin declaration is always written, with the value chosen above. A growing number of galleries and platforms read it.
What now
- Open the file at full size before ordering. Look at faces, text and textures at 100 %: that is where an enlargement shows.
- Order the exact size shown on the plan. Any other size makes the printer crop your image for you.
- Do not convert to CMYK. Platforms expect sRGB and convert to their own machine profile themselves.
- Keep this file. It carries your title, your name and the origin declaration: it is your reference copy.
