No adjustments of any kind. We are wanting to show you what you actual will see when you receive your poster.

Keeping in mind that I am truly not an expert here and that this is the first time I’ve taken this kind of photograph (so I may very well be mistaken): on the left you see the image Heritage used to sell me the poster, and on the right you see my RAW file with nothing applied except white balance correction.

The version on the left was presumably adjusted in Adobe Lightroom (or something similar). Correct?

– Higher contrast
– Deeper blacks
– More micro-contrast in the leather and the face
– More saturated blue
– Overall a “crisper,” more sales-oriented look

That would fall under what one might call “presentation optimization.”

But is that actually what you want when you’re buying a poster?

I go 180 degrees in the opposite direction. I want the image you see to look the same as what you see when you open your package. We NEVER enhance an image in any way.

This gives a clear choice. Those who like enhanced images can buy from the other guys. Those who don't should buy from us.

Ah you said Heritage...no further discussion needed.  Terrible at accurately showing you what you will get...
