Q1: What do I do if I can't find the image that I am looking for?

A1: Please use the contact us form to let us know exactly what type of image you were looking for. We have additional images in the library which do not appear on this site and may be able to e-mail you low-res samples for you to choose from. [back to questions]

 

Q2: The size for some TIFF images seems very small for a high resolution file. Why is this?

A2: To enable us to deliver high resolution files more easily over the internet we use ZIP compression for all TIFF files. This means that you do not have to wait for huge downloads as most files are below 7Mbytes. When uncompressed these files will be approximately 18Mbytes. Most modern image software supports this TIFF format. [back to questions]

 

Q3: I need my file quick and I have slow connection. Can you send a JPEG instead of a TIFF?

A3: Yes. When you come to order there is a message field that allows you to make special requests. Please write a short note mentioning that you would prefer to receive a JPEG file. All JPEG images are exported directly from the TIFF using a high-quality JPEG compression setting and are usually below 1Mbyte. (Level 15. Where 1 is highest and 255 is the lowest compression).

Q4: How long will it take for my image(s) to arrive by e-mail?

A4: Most images will be dispatched within four hours. However we do not guarantee this turnaround sometimes delivery may take longer. It would be very rare for you not to have received your image within a 24 hour timeframe. We have no control over slow or crashed e-mail servers that might sit between our mail server and yours - this is often the cause of delayed/non delivery. [back to questions]

 

Q5: How long will it take for prints to arrive post?

A5: If you have ordered an unframed print and you reside in Europe or the US then you will usually receive your print within three working days. Framed prints to these areas can take up to seven working days to arrive but will usually arrive more quickly. Other countries outside of Europe and the US may take longer. If you would like to enquire about how long it takes to ship to your country then please drop us a line using the contact us page. [back to questions]
