WHY RGB FILES?
    Our photos are saved in RGB format in order to give our customers the freedom to adapt their own colour files to the print medium used.
- RGB format is the perfect base for converting to any other format.
- Converting RGB images to CMYK results in irrecoverable loss of luminosity
- RGB is suitable for use in multimedia and internet applications as it corresponds to the screen format.
