As more photos arrive from phones, freelancers, and readers, publishers are turning to dedicated photo correction to keep every image clear, accurate, and true to print.

Color correction built for newsprint

Let Pagination Co prepare your photos for how they actually print, not how they look on screen. Our production team balances color, fixes white balance, and corrects skin tones so people look like themselves on the page. Every image is prepared to your exact press specifications.

Toning that accounts for dot gain

Newsprint darkens midtones and fills in shadows as ink spreads. We adjust levels, curves, and contrast to open up shadow detail and hold highlights, so night games and indoor events don’t print as dark blocks.

CMYK and grayscale conversion to your specs

We convert every image to your press profile and keep it within your printer’s total ink limit. Black-and-white pages get clean grayscale conversions instead of flat, desaturated copies.

Resolution, sizing, and sharpening checks

We check each image’s resolution against its print size, crop to your layout, and sharpen for your screen ruling. Low-resolution files are flagged before they reach the page.

Cutouts and clipping paths for ads

Product shots and advertiser images get clean silhouettes and clipping paths, ready to drop into display ads and special sections.

Retouching for advertising and feature photos

For real estate, retail, and lifestyle images, we remove dust, blemishes, and distractions while keeping the photo natural and believable.

News photos corrected, never altered

For editorial images, we limit our work to tone, color, cropping, and technical prep. We never add, remove, or move anything in a news photo, so your coverage stays accurate and your readers’ trust stays intact.

Press-ready photos on your deadline

Corrected files come back named, organized, and ready to place, on your production schedule. Pair it with our pagination and ad building services so photos arrive in your pages already corrected.
