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.
