Bob Lyon, Digital Imaging Specialist
On Tuesday, October 14, the Cheshire Art League featured a presentation on limited edition giclee prints by Bob Lyon of Sound Color in Branford, CT. Bob presented the fine points of making fine art giclee prints. Discussion covered getting your artwork digitized to the various output and paper options. Ideas to make your edition stand out and how to realize a return on investment in your prints were some of the topics covered. Bob also covered the option of doing the prints yourself and what equipment is required.
Sound Color's studio is in Branford, CT and on the web at www.soundcolor.biz. Sound Color provides color management consultation, high-end photo retouching, and prepress and fine art prints. Bob has worked with numerous shoreline artists and with photographers from all around the world. There was an open invitation for all to hear him share his 23 years of digital imaging experience.
Here are some pictures taken during the presentation...
