Not only was Robert V. Capalbo the first to offer digital technology over 12 years ago, but today he employs Pittsburgh’s only 22 megapixel camera, yielding a 13 x 19 inch 127meg, 16bit color rgb capture. Retouching, color correction, pick up and delivery are included in your service package.

Striving for perfection
And when Capalbo retouches a file, he’s not talking merely about dust spots. His creative technology and extensive skills in Photoshop can fix real product nicks and scratches, compositing a variety of images to create one final file
— the best image possible.

The studio also color corrects and enhances every file unless you request otherwise. Files are converted to cmyk and corrected for proper balances between highlight/shadows and total ink density according to national SWOP standards. Then, images are adjusted to ensure that what is printed matches — as closely as possible — the actual product. You receive a color proof and your final images on CD or DVD, ready to place in any page layout application.

This is all possible because, unlike many other studios, Bob color manages everything — from camera to monitor to printer, ensuring that you get the highest level of color accuracy from the shoot to the final run off the press.

Picture whatever you want
Whatever you need photographed for whatever reason — table-top product or food shots, fashion or soft goods shots, from mice to monuments — Capalbo can capture your image in studio or on location, whichever the situation calls for.

An eternal student in the study of light, Capalbo uses only lighting designed to work with digital equipment to avoid color shifts — the latest technology has to offer. With each shot he casts the perfect dramatic ambiance on subjects ranging from architecture interiors to executive portraits.
