Hi all,
I have a client want to use my image for their restaurant's wall display. They are building the place right now so they can not tell me the wall size for sure yet, but they estimate it to be around 10 X 3 meter or around 32.8 X 9.8 foot
So now, I am looking for the best way to prepare my files, contract, and price which I have no idea what to do! this is my very first real photography related sale.
Here are questions I can think from the top of my head right now; (some question might be totally irrelevant, I have never done this so please excuse me.)
1. what file format is best when sending a file to the client? (pdf, psd, jpg, tif, etc?)
--- I want the printer to be able to adjust color and contrast according to a sample print on paper which I will send them later, so I guess JPG is and PDF is not an option here?
2. What is a common Space Profile to use? Pro Photo RGB? Adobe RGB? CMYK? or I guess this question should go to client's printer service?
--- refer to Photoshop color profile setting under Edit > Convert to profile
3. the DPI concern.
--- Will image from a K3 has enough resolution to do such large print? if not, what to do? I have been dealing with typical paper print (I am a graphic designer) but I have never prepared photo file for any large wall or billboard print, so I have no idea at all how to prepare my file for such large print.
--- My images are urban landscape using natural light only. it is not a studio image, so it is hard but not impossible to reshoot.
4. any tips and technic on post-processing? This is a large print in a restaurant, I expect people to see it close. I don't want people to see dirty pixels.
5. how much should it be? (just an idea) And if you have a link to sample contract similar to my case, please let me know.
--- I will transfer some right for them so that they can reproduce/reuse the image for another promotional material.
--- I won't re-sale, re-use the image in future.
6. if you have done any large print and or dealing with a similar contract, Any idea, and tips will be very appreciated.
Note:
- #3 and #4 are my most concern.
Hope you all have a nice weekend.
