Your Purchase: Digital Art at Its Best

When you buy a photograph in fotos-art.com, you don’t just buy an image; You acquire a digital artwork of exceptional quality, ready for physical reproduction.

What do you receive when you buy a photograph in fotos-art.com?

When you make a purchase, you will receive a high-quality digital file:

• Format: we deliver the photographs in different formats depending on the license purchased, JPG or TIFF (a professional standard format that guarantees maximum fidelity of the image).
• Resolution: Each photo is optimized according to the license, between 150 dpi  and 300 dpi (pixels per inch), an ideal resolution to ensure impeccable sharpness and detail even on large prints.
• Color Space: Files are presented in the sRGB (IEC61966-2.1)  color space for digital use and Adobe RGB (1998) for prints with a wider and more vibrant color gamut than you usually see on screen, and optimized for professional quality.

Important: As it is a digital product, no physical copy is sent by mail or courier. You have the freedom to print your artwork wherever and however you want.

Licenses of Use: Give Your Photograph the Purpose You Want

At fotos-art.com, we offer two clear and distinct license types so you get exactly the quality and rights your project requires:

What should I consider before sending to print?

1. Review the printer’s specifications: Every company has its requirements. See your preferred file formats, recommended resolutions for your desired size, and margins.
2. Query about the color profile: If you work with Adobe RGB (1998), you can ask if the printer recommends a specific color profile for their machines, although they will usually handle the file you have acquired well.
3. Test sample (optional): For very large or specific projects, consider ordering a small print proof if the supplier offers it.
4. Adapt the color and brightness of your photograph: with the Enhanced license and the TIFF file you can ask the company to edit the color and lights so that the result is perfect for your space or project.
