Digital Retouching & Manipulation Studio Franco. Eastbourne and Cape Town
Got an old photo you want revived? Want to compose an image out of several
elements?
Lets get started.
At Studio Franco Design - I specialize in image enhancement, color correction,
photo montage, photo compositing and photo retouching.
I include 'Examples of Everything', because of the varied requests I have
received.
As well as visual puns.
Such as "Etaoin Shrdlu". Etaoin Shrdlu is the approximate order of frequency
of the 12 most commonly used letters in the English language. A combination
of letters set by running a finger down the first, and then the second
left-hand vertical banks of six keys of a Linotype machine, to produce
a temporary marking slug, not intended to appear in the final printing.
