Halation  Halation is an optical phenomenon that occurs in photography when light passing through a transparent or translucent subject is scattered or reflected within the camera system, causing a halo or glow around bright areas in the resulting image. Halation is most commonly observed in backlit scenes or when photographing bright light sources, such as the sun or artificial lights. In traditional film photography, halation was often considered a technical flaw and was mitigated by using anti-halation backings on film or post-processing techniques. However, in certain artistic contexts, halation can be intentionally used for creative effect to enhance the mood or atmosphere of an image.
Hand Coloring  Hand coloring, also known as hand-tinting or hand-painting, is a photographic or artistic technique where a black-and-white photograph or print is selectively colored or painted by hand using transparent or opaque pigments. Hand coloring dates back to the early days of photography when photographers would enhance their black-and-white prints with watercolors, dyes, or oil paints to add color and realism to the image. Today, hand coloring is still practiced by artists and photographers as a creative and expressive way to add color, depth, and emotion to their images, resulting in unique and personalized works of art.
Hard Proof  A hard proof is a physical print produced as a proof or sample to evaluate the color accuracy, image quality, and layout of a digital file before final printing. Hard proofs are typically produced using the same printing process and materials that will be used for the final production run, allowing for a realistic representation of how the final printed piece will look. Hard proofs are used in various industries, including printing, publishing, graphic design, and photography, to ensure that the final printed output meets the desired specifications and quality standards.
Hardware  The varying collection of screws, offset clips, wire, hooks and hangers the customer will receive with which to prepare their finished artwork for hanging, and affix it to the wall.

Haze  Haze in photography refers to a lack of contrast and clarity in an image, resulting in a veil-like or foggy appearance that obscures details and reduces overall visual impact. Haze can be caused by various factors, including atmospheric conditions (such as humidity or pollution), lens flare, glare, or insufficient lighting. In post-processing, haze can also occur due to overexposure or improper image adjustments. Techniques such as adjusting contrast, clarity, and exposure, as well as using dehazing filters or adjustments, can help reduce haze and improve the clarity and contrast of the image.
Heat presses  A machine designed to press and apply heat to paper inserted between its surfaces. Used in lamination, to set or cure certain inks, or for applying heat-sensitive paper images to fabric or other material.

High-Resolution Image  High-resolution = high quality.

If an image is high-resolution, this implies it will print well at a large - or at least the desired - size, with clear, crisp detail and no pixelation.

There is no single determination of high resolution. The size of the digital image must be comparable to the desired print size, but the quality must be good as well. For instance, a high ppi or dpi (pixels or dots per inch) but a small image (300x300 pixels) will not print well at any size.

However, a large size (3000x3000 pixels) and good dpi (300) does not guarantee quality either - the image could simply have been changed to these quantities with no regard for image quality, resulting in heavily pixelation (clusters of visible squares instead of a smooth image).

Ideally, the customer should confirm with the designer that their image is the appropriate resolution or quality for the print size.
High-Resolution Scan  A good quality digital image created from copying the artwork using a flatbed scanner. This is achieved by scanning the entire image at one time, or ensuring even light distribution when scanning multiple sections.

We can create a high-resolution digital images from any original artwork. View our artwork scanning services and place your order today.
Highlight Detail  Highlight detail refers to the level of detail present in the brightest areas of an image, particularly in highlight regions where light is reflected or emitted at its highest intensity. Maintaining detail in highlights is important for preserving texture, structure, and tonal variation in bright areas of the image. Overexposure or clipping of highlights can result in loss of detail, causing highlights to appear washed out or lacking in texture. Techniques such as exposure adjustment, highlight recovery, and careful exposure metering can help preserve highlight detail in photography.
Highlights and Shadows  Highlights and shadows are the two primary components of contrast in an image, representing the brightest and darkest areas, respectively. Highlights are the areas where light is reflected or emitted at its highest intensity, while shadows are the areas where light is blocked or absorbed, resulting in reduced illumination. The interplay between highlights and shadows creates depth, dimension, and visual interest in an image, defining the shape, form, and texture of objects. Properly balancing highlights and shadows is essential for achieving a well-exposed and visually appealing image with a full range of tonal values.
Hinge Mounting  Hinge mounting is a method of mounting artworks or prints for display or framing using hinges attached to the back of the artwork and a mat or backing board. Hinge mounting allows the artwork to be secured in place without directly adhering it to the mounting surface, providing flexibility and protection against damage. The hinges are typically made of archival-quality materials, such as Japanese paper or linen tape, and are attached to the back of the artwork using archival adhesive or paste. Hinge mounting is commonly used for mounting delicate or valuable artworks, prints, photographs, and documents for display or preservation.
Hinging  The process of adhering artwork to a backing or mounting board. Acid-free tape is attached to the top of the work and another strip is placed over the top to secure it on both surfaces. Try to hinge only from the top so the artwork is able to hang freely. This helps prevent the piece from buckling, as it enables the different components — artwork, frame, mat, mounting board, etc. — to expand and contract at their own rates with the temperature and humidity.
Hot lamination  Lamination is a process of permanently applying a clear plastic coating to paper. In hot lamination, the cover\'s adhesive is activated by heat. When inserted into the laminator, the clear cover is melted onto and around the paper, completely enclosing it in a protective casing. Hot lamination produces a product more resistant to wear and tear than cold lamination.

We offer three types of large format lamination as part of our dry mounting service.
Hue  A color or shade. For example: Blue, grey, maroon.
Hue Shift  Hue shift, also known as color shift, refers to a change in the perceived color of an object or image due to alterations in lighting conditions, color reproduction, or color management. Hue shift can occur when viewing an image under different lighting sources with varying color temperatures, such as natural daylight, incandescent light, or fluorescent light, which may cause colors to appear warmer or cooler than they actually are.
Hue shift can also occur during image processing or printing when colors are inaccurately reproduced or adjusted, resulting in shifts in hue or color balance. Managing hue shifts is important for achieving accurate color reproduction and consistency in photography, printing, and digital imaging workflows.
