Imaging

With any contemporary medium, visual presentation is crucial to conveying the right message. We at Express KCS understand your image-handling needs and the variable quality of the original content that you often have to work with. We handle hundreds of images in all formats per day, on fast turnarounds, matching our clients’ timezones with availability of skilled staff. The process is simple and transparent: images are managed in drop folders between our studios and the client, with messaging and online workflow tools to help you track progress.

Our services range from high-end retouching and enhancement at press and magazine output quality, to high-volume online and catalogue work, Our clients range from leading publishers and global businesses to SMEs and corporate clients who need ad hoc solutions. With all of our imaging services, we work quickly to establish the job flow that suits your needs: in practice, most of our completed work is delivered either same day or on overnight turnaround.

Image cutouts, clipping paths, and masks

With sophisticated desktop design tools now widely available, there is a temptation for customers – even in those not in the media sector – to try to take on all processing work in the production. This is not the best use of your resources. Express KCS can pick up the time-consuming and high-volume task involved in cutouts, clipping paths, masks and background removals, freeing up your own team to focus on adding further creative value. You maintain control through simple-to-use drop folders, briefing notes and communications tools.

Image retouching and enhancement

When specialised and more complex image enhancement is required, our highly skilled imaging and art operators will work to get the best out of the image. Images are uploaded through drop folders, with briefing and instruction notes. Our staff are highly skilled in the use of Adobe Photoshop and other image enhancement tools and we can also share progress status via our workflow tools and in-file comments. Our clients for retouching and enhancement work include leading ad agencies, model agencies, magazine, newspaper and catalogue publishers, corporate marketing departments and individuals.
