The Technical.
Lucida maintains a rigorous technical process designed for institutional accuracy and integrity. Every piece is captured with precision to ensure the highest fidelity reproduction.
01
Pre-Session Preparation
Every session begins with a technical assessment of the artwork. We verify lighting conditions, surface integrity & cleanliness, and archival compliance to ensure a safe and accurate capture.
04
Post-Processing
Lucida applies advanced color management and correction to ensure every image is calibrated for accuracy and archival stability.
Every session delivers four files per artwork: small JPEG sRGB, medium JPEG sRGB, large JPEG Adobe RGB, and 48-bit TIFF Adobe RGB. Artists retain full IP rights.
Turnaround: Approximately five business days
Oversize Works
We handle works of art that exceed standard archival dimensions with precision and care. Our composite stitching process ensures that every detail is captured with absolute fidelity.
Preparation
Each oversized work is secured with archival-grade materials to prevent shifting during the digitisation process. We use professional equipment to maintain the integrity of the surface.
Stitching
We employ a composite stitching technique that seamlessly joins multiple high-resolution images into a single, unified file. This process is critical for maintaining the continuity of large-scale works.
