# Image Enhancements

## Getting Started

Image Enhancements are optional, automated image corrections and optimizations applied to the image files before we print and produce the product.

Image Enhancements require an additional property, `AssetEnhancement`, to be specified on the `ItemAsset` objects present in an order request. This document outlines those necessary additions and details for ordering automated image enhancements on your orders.

> Image Enhancements are a chargeable service. You will be billed for each enhancement on each distinct image asset specified.

### Presets

We offer a single `Default` preset, which provides color, contrast and density enhancement along with print-optimized sharpening.

> Custom presets can be loaded at the account level. Each `AssetEnhancement` needs to be approved and installed by WHCC prior to being available. Please contact [bizdev@whcc.com](mailto:bizdev@whcc.com) for further details.

## Implementation

An `AssetEnhancement` preset name is included as part of `ItemAssets`. Each asset can have a different enhancement specified and not every asset on an order requires an enhancement. Below is a basic example of how to include an `AssetEnhancement` on an `ItemAsset`.

#### Default

```json
    "ItemAssets": [
        {
            "AssetPath": "ASSET_URL",
            "ImageHash": "HASH",
            "AssetEnhancement": "Default"
        },
        ...
    ]
```

> ## Constraints
>
> Image Enhancements are currently only supported for images saved in JPEG format.
