· Raw scans are for those of you who want to do your own color work for printing or just need a high resolution file of your artwork - but don't want prints.

Our raw scans are sharpened and color-corrected to remove any color-casts. They are not color-worked or contrast-adjusted for printing. Your raw scan might not color match your original exactly and may appear flat. This is because we scan to get the most information possible so that you have all highlights and lowlights to start with when adjusting the scan to fit your needs.

We don't archive raw scans - you will get the file(s) burned onto a CD. If you decide to print in the future, you will need to provide us with either the raw file and the original (if available so we can color-work the file and proof it on the substrate of your choice) or, if you do your own color-work, you'll need to provide us with the color-worked files, prepared according to our specifications for printing.

· Premier scans are for those of you who do not want to mess with trying to color work your own files and who can foresee a time when they will want prints from their file(s).

Premier scans include color-working and contrast-adjusting the file for printing and an 8x10 or 16x20 proof on the substrate of your choice and on site file archiving. And, since we already have your original here, it makes sense to have us do the color-work now. If having your print match as closely as possible to your original artwork or film is very important to you, choose our premier scan!

Many of artist Sarah Rogers' subjects - wolves, bears, crows, horses - are familiar to her rural Wyoming neighbors; but the vibrant colors spring entirely from her imagination. The result has been described as "tropical western wildlife".

Sarah's medium is watercolor, usually combined with graphite. She frequently applies several layers of heavy color to create the bright tones and often opaque quality of the paint. She prefers smooth surfaces and uses hot pressed paper or plate smooth illustration board.

March 2009, Lexington, Kentucky, USA: Kentucky Horse Parks famed International Museum of the Horse will present equine photographer Scott Trees as their featured artist for the spring season of 2009. Known around the world for his dramatic portrayal of the horses he photographs, this show promises to offer some spectacular imagery. Entitled "Because of Horses," the show is a compilation of photographs created during his international travels.

Says Trees, "Because of horses, I have traveled the world. Because of horses, I have had the opportunity to capture the essence and beauty of exotic locations. Because of horses, I have met interesting people from all walks of life. Because of horses, I have learned much and have had a remarkable journey in life. This show is an effort to share some of those images that chronicle my journey."

Based in Glen Rose Texas, USA and Dubai, UAE, Scott Trees has conducted photo and video shoots in diverse locations including Russia, Poland, Europe, the Middle East, North and South America. "Because of Horses" will showcase a special selection from these travels.

"Through my imagery, I seek to portray the individual character of each horse I photograph. Like humans, each horse is unique, and being able to capture that uniqueness and then being able to further market it is both a talent and a passion," said Trees.
