Note

Individual digital image download purchases are available directly through the dabstudios website.  You will see the option to purchase digital image downloads along with prints in each gallery. The digital image downloads are medium-size, JPEG format color images.

Image Availability and Delivery

All photographs taken by dabstudios photographers since September 2002 are available as digital images.  Images of participants in sports and events are available on our box.com cloud file service.  Complete sets of all images of all participants for a game, event, or season are available, with pricing dependent on the use and distribution.

Season Image Subscription

You can subscribe to a sports team for a season and receive all the digital images of your family members for that team's season for one low payment.  A subscription gives you a 20% discount from the standard price for a season of images!  Early season subscribers will be guaranteed to have dabstudios photographers capture many images of their family members participating on the team throughout the season.

Images for the season are usually delivered at the end of the season, but you can request delivery after each game.  If a player is hurt during the season and does not play the rest of the season, you will be refunded the subscription price minus the cost of the images already prepared or delivered to you.  The cost of the images already prepared or delivered would be the lower of the individual image cost or the per game image cost.

Image Formats

dabstudios photographers shoot their photos capturing RAW format images to provide the highest quality images possible.  The RAW images are screened, cropped, straightened, adjusted for proper exposure and color then converted into a finished image JPEG format.  Other finished image formats can be created from the RAW format images.  Image formats are descibed briefly in the following list.

• A RAW image is a record of the image data captured by the camera sensor along with the camera settings used at the time of exposure.  Raw images are the digital equivalent of exposed, but undeveloped film.  During processing by the photographer, RAW format images may be significantly resampled, have their exposure significantly altered, have their white balance changed without image degradation and can be manipulated to preserve the highlights and shadows.
• TIFF images are either 8-bit or 16-bit and can be optionally compressed.  Professional pre-press and print shops typically request images in TIFF format.  16-bit TIFF format image quality is much better than JPEG format image quality.
• JPEG images are 8-bit compressed images primarily used for electronic display and printing through online and local labs.  The level of compression determines the quality of the JPEG image.  The images used to make prints in the dabstudios Shutterfly Pro Galleries are JPEG images compressed without losing any detail in the images.

Image Sizes

Images are available in medium, large and custom sizes.  The image size you should order depends on the uses you have for the images.

• Medium size images are approximately 2000x3000 pixels and are suitable for printing up to 10"x15" prints.  The images stored in the Shutterfly galleries are usually medium size images.  All the finished image formats are available in medium size.
• Large size images are 3200x4800 pixels, and are suited for printing up to 20"x30" prints.  Images at this size may be resampled up to 3x without visual degradation of the image.  All the finished image formats are available in large size.
• Custom image sizes larger than 3200x4800 pixels are resampled from the original raw images by dabstudios.com, and can be used to print large posters, life-size prints and billboards.  All the finished image formats are available in custom sizes.
