Beaford Workflow - Second Stage

The second stage of digitisation was carried out 'in house' by Beaford.

We work from the raw files which they provide, adjust and prepare them for print.

These are opened in Rawtherapee using a custom profile created especially for this project then exported to the Gnu Image Manipulation Program as 16 bit Argb files.
