LiveSurface images are high-resolution, print-quality photos with pre-built layer masks, surface data (Vanishing Point planes) and image components (such as shadows) on individual layers. Unlike flat stock photos, LiveSurface images are ready to accept your artwork without additional work.
Every LiveSurface image has been photographed as a RAW file and saved as a high-resolution lossless TIF. All images are high enough resolution for final offset printing at an average size of 12 inches on their longest side (30.5 cm) at 300 dpi.
Included with every LiveSurface image is an Adobe Illustrator sizing guide. Paste your artwork onto each surface represented in the guide to ensure that your artwork will fit proportionally.
LiveSurface images include pre-built Vanishing Point planes so that users can simply paste, position and scale their artwork on the desired surface to achieve realistic dimensional results every time.
