Fabric Photo Update

16Jun10

In my last post, I wrote that we had started getting photos of our 28 initial fabrics.  I also mentioned that I’d try to get the rest of the photos online soon.  This follow-up probably took a little longer than everyone expected, and here’s why:

It turns out that taking photos of fabrics is just the first step in getting something will look good and give an accurate representation to our customers.  I’m sure the photographers reading this will understand that the photo is never really finished until it’s been run through Photoshop to make the colors look like they do in real life.  So, I installed the 30-day trial of photo shop and started going through our photos last night.  It’s not so easy with pictures of fabrics, because there are no good reference colors and therefore Photoshop’s auto adjustment features don’t come out with the right value.

Moreover, some of the photos that looked ok on the camera ended up highlighting wrinkles or other defects when we saw them on the computer screen.  Therefore, I’m going to have to retake a number of the photos.  I was going to have to take some more anyway, because we want to have a thumbnail and three large photos for each fabric, and we didn’t want to keep Mr. Zhang too late while he was doing us a favor during the last photo shoot.

Anyway, here’s the part I’m sure you’ve been waiting for – images of all our fabrics.  Like I said, none of these are the final versions, but they should give you an idea of our overall collection.
