In the early 70's, when Bright Arts was first established the industry was much more basic; two men with 30 years experience between them joined forces, set up a scanner and some light tables. The work was done by hand and eye, with skill. Six staff were hired and their talents, experience and well-trained eye for quality and began to impress their clients.
Today over 200 people work with more than 50 computers and leading edge, computerised, scanning and out put equipment, a far cry from the early days, but the same commitment to quality pervades.

Reputation was to first hurdle on the road to success, but it didn't take long. The years that Sunny Shum and Jimmy Wong put in to working for large prepress companies paid off. Local clients knew they could rely on the small team and began bringing their most challenging work to them. Delicate water colour renderings and pen and ink drawings so prevalent in children's books became their forte. As the local publishers put out such impressive products more overseas clients came to them and slowly the name 'Bright Arts' leaked out.

With this basis they came to the attention of overseas publishers more and more. Art books, photographic books, stock house catalogues, design awards publications, the staff grew. By the late 1980's Bright Arts was fast becoming and internationally known company. They pushed ahead with technical innovations with a commitment to computerization and page layout software. As clients took to manipulating photo's on their own Bright Arts pioneered supplying lo-res scans to clients and linking hi-res scans for output.

Their vision of the future includes a commitment to the best quality computer scanagraphic services and enhanced understanding of the products use to manipulate images. Output equipment is maintained to cover many unusual and complex requests. Technical specialists at Bright Arts experiment with different methods and train staff in the enhance techniques.
