  1. REGARDING VIEWING & PRINTING IMAGES: Please note that all images produced by Cat Timms Photography have been done so with the use of colour calibrated monitors.

Also note that images viewed in non-professional editing programs will appear less sharp than if the same images are viewed using a professional program. All Cat Timms Photography packages include a print release allowing the Client to print images as they wish. Printed images will be correct in colour, sharpness and other variables that may be affected by non-calibrated monitor and non-professional programs, that is, if the printed images have been produced by a professional imaging lab. In order for printed images to meet the quality of the original digital files, they must be printed on high-quality photographic paper or on other professional photographic mediums and done so by a professional lab. It is highly recommended that the Client order printed images from a reputable, professional lab to ensure that the quality of his or her digital images is met. Cat Timms Photography is not liable for the quality of images printed by any imaging lab, both professional and non.
