| Explanation of Before/After Picture-Taking Techniques. We try our best to provide the best and most honest camera angles to show the most detail and provide you with the most accurate representation of how good these dents come out. We will be the first to say that the ability to see a dent in a picture solely depends on the angle of the lighting. Just a slight change in the angle/location of the light source can make a big dent virtually disappear simply by moving the light source or camera angle. This goes for "shadows" as well. Basically, it's very easy to make a shoddy repair look outstanding with a few camera tricks. That's why at Dent-Magic, we use a tripod for our camera as often as we can. The tripod is never moved from starting picture to finishing picture. For the vast majority of the dents, we leave at least one light in the same exact place from start to finish to have a true reflection of how the dent came out. However, there are some factors that affect the position of things in a few before and after pics. The first factor is time. Sometimes things get busy and we simply do not have the time to set everything up perfectly. If we don't use a tripod, we take great care in duplicating the exact position of all parameters. We're not perfect, though, so you will see a few pics that don't have perfect angles. The second factor is lighting needs. Many times during the dent removal process, we need to adjust the angle/location of the light. Since our immediate goal is to get the vehicle done correctly and in a timely manner, our concern about how perfect the before and after picture turns out becomes less important. The third factor is just being human. Sometimes we miss the opportunity to take the after shot before the car gets moved, etc. We still try to take the after picture anyways because most of the time, the severity of the dent compared to the finished product is obvious. A fourth, and maybe most important, is when a dent repair is finished, the metal is literally reshaped back to factory. This affects the reflection angle in many instances, and the light may appear to have been moved, even though it wasn't. Finally, in the pictures with the biggest, most obvious damage you see how well the PDR process works. If the repair isn't good enough to put on our website, then it's not good enough to charge the customer for. This is extremely rare, though. There are many companies out there with before and after pics on their websites. Make sure you note all the angles and the locations of all lighting or lack thereof. Remember, without a reflection, any dent can look gone. We hope you enjoy the before and after pictures, and know that we strive to show the most honest depiction of how any dent comes out. Call Dent-Magic if you have any other questions. --The Dent-Magic Staff |
