Color
Loxley Colour will print images in the sRGB color space. If a purchased image to be fulfilled by Loxley was uploaded to PhotoShelter in a color space other than sRGB, we will convert it for you before sending it to the lab for fulfillment. Please note we will never alter your original file.
If you are interested in learning more about Loxley’s color management process and/or how to soft-proof your images for the best possible output, please refer to Loxley’s color management documentation.
Loxley also offers an automated color correction option you may choose to enable for your PhotoShelter print orders. This is recommended if you aren't color profiling every image, though it should be noted that color correction incurs an additional fee of £0.0025 per square inch.
