Zones in which to select a different color or design, adjust shadows in Photoshop, workflow for quickly switching between color and design.

Visuals/mock-ups

For advertisements, presentations, and pre-sales. Visualize a design on a final product, before it is produced. Create areas in the photo where different colors or patterns will be applied, adjust shadows, determine color and size in advance.

All within a workflow that allows for quick switching between colors and patterns.

Prepare basic file in Photoshop, color nuances, contrast and details clearly visible in the color variants, for a good result.
With a well-prepared file you can create many different color variants in Photoshop for e.g. digital printing on wallpaper, panels, carpet

Color variants

You can create unlimited color variants of a single pattern using a photo or a scan. Preserve color nuances, contrast, and details. Various methods are available.

Ideal for visuals or for printing on a wide range of materials such as wallpaper, panels, carpet, vinyl, fabric, and more.

If you put the edges of a photo or scan together in Photoshop, you see a seam, the drawing does not continue and there is a color difference
Correct the seam in Photoshop for endless printing on wallpaper, carpet, vinyl, panels or use as a repeat in visuals, 2Drenders, mock-up

Seamless design

When you join the edges of a photo or a scan, you may notice a seam. We need to create a seamless loop in the pattern and correct the color difference on both halves to achieve an endless design.

Ideal for endless printing on wallpaper, carpet, vinyl, panels, fabric, or as a texture in mock-ups & visuals …

On every scan or photo you have to eliminate details in Photoshop such as spots, color differences, unnecessary details, errors, dust, scratches
Adjust or add details in Photoshop, also correct contrast and color, otherwise you will get unwanted color spots in post-processing.

Corrections

Correcting excess elements in a photo or a scan, such as spots, color deviations, unnecessary details, errors, dust particles, scratches... Removing, adjusting, or adding them.

Adjust contrast, color, and details to avoid unwanted color spots when further editing later on.

ABOUT ANNEMIE

"As a 'surface designer', Annemie works for printers, engravers and manufacturers of floors, doors, wallpaper, fabrics, walls, kitchen worktops, wall and furniture panels, wall art and even car dashboards.

She edits the scans of her creations in Photoshop: make corrections, adjust details - remove or add, change color and contrast where necessary. After the corrections she makes the print layout, at this stage the design is made seamless “allover”, so that the printer can print endlessly, without visible seams. In preparation for color matching, she first makes color separations and digital color studies in order to finally deliver different color variants as print-ready files.

During the design process she creates visuals/mock-ups: designs are placed on interior pictures to test how large the layout of a design should be, and which colors fit best in an interior. Those visuals are also used as a sales, marketing and publicity tool, because this way brands can work ahead and they do not have to wait to show the result in an interior until the material has actually been produced.

Her work is her passion and she takes on every new assignment and challenge with equal pleasure."
