SOLUTION DESCRIPTION

TheSpack Consultancy is a 360-degree consulting service designed for digital imaging professionals who want to optimize and customize their workflow. Designed to integrate the photographer's skills with those of developers, retouchers and pre-press technicians, this service offers tailor-made and dynamic support, adaptable to the unique characteristics of each project. With a collaborative approach, TheSpack Consultancy is divided into various areas of consultancy, from the initial setup to the final pre-press check, to guarantee a high-quality visual rendering.

Comprehensive Consultancy on All Phases of the Workflow

TheSpack Consultancy accompanies professionals through every phase of the process, from acquisition to output, aligning the technical needs of the photographer, graphic designer and pre-press team. This service offers direct advice for every single interlocutor involved — photographer, retoucher, colorist — ensuring that all phases are perfectly synchronized. This accurate alignment prevents quality losses or color inconsistencies, allowing a smooth transition of images from one phase to another, in line with project expectations.

Analysis of the Technical Setup and Operational Consultancy

An essential element of TheSpack Consultancy is the analysis of the photographer's setup. The lighting conditions, the type of equipment and the choice of optics are carefully evaluated to ensure that each shot is prepared to best meet the customer's visual needs. The consultancy explores various types of light sources — from LED to daylight — to identify the one most suitable for the project. We analyze the shooting format and the ideal workflow to achieve the expected results, customizing each phase to obtain impeccable quality. This approach makes it possible to calibrate every technical and operational element for optimal visual rendering right from the shooting phase.

Color Management and Personalized Training

TheSpack Consultancy supports teams in color management, ensuring that each image meets the brand's visual standards and is ready for printing. The service includes the creation of specific configurations and, if necessary, training sessions to align the production team, ensuring that all members operate with the same color guidelines. Each image, therefore, is adapted to the customer's printing needs, ensuring a chromatic consistency that reflects the visual identity of the brand.

Ongoing Support and Annual Contract for a Trusted Partner

TheSpack Consultancy is available on an annual contract basis, offering continuous, high-quality support for every phase of the project. This formula makes it possible to integrate and complete the specific skills of each professional, making TheSpack Consultancy a valuable partner for both experts and beginners, helping to evaluate the risks and benefits of each decision.

Ultimately, TheSpack Consultancy is the ideal partner for those who want complete control over color management and unparalleled visual quality. With tailored support and a 360-degree approach, TheSpack Consultancy transforms image management into a competitive advantage, ensuring excellent results in every visual project.

OUR SOLUTIONS

FAQ

Who are the solutions for?

The solutions are designed for companies, agencies and professionals who mature specific needs for which they have not yet found solutions available on the market. They are not particularly suitable for advanced amateurs and novice professional photographers: in fact, since they are understood as solutions and not services, it is essential that the customer is aware of the problem and can allocate an appropriate budget to its solution.

Are they provided in the form of a contract?

Some solutions can be delivered in the form of an annual contract, while other solutions can be simplified and derived over a limited period or an expected objective. The decision is not made by the customer but, after a thorough analysis, agreed and planned jointly.

Can the services be provided exclusively?

The exclusivity of the service is possible but it underlies early activation and compensation costs and binding contracts that must be agreed upon by the parties. The transfer of exclusive ownership of a project is not possible any more than the transfer of know-how or the appropriation of the same. All developments are subject to copyright and are granted in usufruct under contractual terms unless otherwise stated.

How is the customer's know-how protected?

Each project is based on a double countersigned NDA between the client and the operators. Data management takes place with the utmost respect for copyrights, bound to the non-disclosure of the same and subject to current laws. The responsibility is bilateral.

If the solutions do not achieve the expected objective can I withdraw from the contract?

All services provided are bound by the commercial contract and therefore subordinate to it. There are specific situations in which reimbursement of the cost of the solution may be requested and others in which reimbursement is not possible due to clear and obvious acceptance of binding contractual terms. To protect both parties, an intermediate objective is always established to better understand if the solution is feasible and if the objective is the expected one.

Am I protected against my competitors?

Yes and no! The answer can be misleading and unfortunately difficult to clarify. The proprietary workflow is a solution that was created to guarantee the uniqueness of the result according to one's expectations, but this does not guarantee that others cannot achieve an extremely similar result on other roads and with specific tolerances.
While guaranteeing the uniqueness of the workflow, thus binding certain profiles and solutions, we cannot guarantee that for other customers a similar or identical result (with a certain tolerance) will not be obtained depending on different paths and parameters.
