In 1977 David Henry-Myers started his first business, 'Photographis' providing custom 'CibaChrome' print services. The stunning colour and longevity of the media was immediately appreciated by commercial and fine art photographers but the toxic chemistry and high contrast made traditional labs stay away in droves. We developed conrast masking processes, border printing effects and graphic overlays that had some of the world's top photographers banging on our door. The first DMA opened in 1982 as ‘David Myers and Associates’ providing scientific photography, lab & illustration services. We first got involved in digital imaging developing a photo imaging solution for the University of Sydney’s 3D modeling mainframe computer in 1984 We opened Australia's first Digital Photo Imaging Bureau at North Sydney in 1987, became Kodak Australasia’s first Pro Digital Imaging Reseller in 1991 and Fuji’s in 1993. We launched the first digital photo studio with Kodak pro digital SLRs and Dicomed scanning cameras in 1992. We installed the first two Kodak Pro Photo CD systems in 1993 and opened another ‘DMA’ - Digital Masters Australasia... Digital Masters Australasia utilise Australia's only $400,000 dual Kodak Pro Photo CD system. Along with other high-end film & print scanners & custom built digital reprography (copy) systems we are able to provide the best, most cost-effective scanning and digitisation services in Australia. When a photograph or piece of art is digitised to the maximum tonal and colour range of 48bits, optimised, colour matched and retouched to perfection you have a ‘Digital Master’ file. That concept was born here in 1987!
