What we have to do to your photos to get them ready to print onto balloons:

If you want your loved one's picture printed on our beautiful balloons you can send us any old snapshot and we can use digital retouching to change and improve the picture so it will look its best.  We reproduce the pictures in black and white. This requires a different quality of photo to colour reproduction.  All the interest in the picture comes from the different shades of grey, not from the various colours of the objects in the picture. A sharp high contrast image has much more graphic impact than a fuzzy grey one!

We can cut out around the face or body of the person in the picture, removing untidy or distracting backgrounds. We increase the contrast, remove any spots caused by damage to the print and then brighten up the whole thing.
