Lumiere Photo is a nationally prominent seller of archival supplies and materials, and has recently opened a Digital Lab specializing in Large Format Printing. They are extremely knowledgeable about digital photography, print photo, negative archiving, document archiving, and other forms of archiving valuable materials. They also do framing.

It is the only store of its kind in Rochester, and one of the only ones of its kind in the entire country.

The Digital Lab offers high resolution scanning, fine printing (archival, large format, etc.), color correction, and so on.

There is a Fine-Art Photographic Gallery called Spectrum Gallery offering framed and un-framed photographic prints as well as a Macintosh Store ( Mac-Ave ) on premises. The Mac Store is owned by a different person than Lumiere, so the hours may be different than Lumiere from time to time, though at the time of the article it was listed as the same (c. 2004 it was different as the Mac store closed at noon on Saturday - so be sure to call ahead if you also want to look at/buy Macintosh computers and accessories!)

Closed March 2017 due to owners heath but reopened in November 2017.

2007-05-18 12:54:06   The good news is that Lumiere is still here and stronger than ever. But, the mac store is out of business and has been replaced by a wonderful used and rare book and document store. Also, Spectrum Gallery is now called The Lumiere Collection, featuring works by local and regional artists.

2009-05-20 02:19:02   Not closed, they just consolidated into a smaller locatation behind the Park Bench. (Not the Park Ave Pub, thats still on Park Ave.) —MrRochester

2011-02-17 15:50:32   I went to Lumiere off a friend's recommendation after I purchased a painting while on vacation that I needed framed. Patrick seemed genuinely into his job and seemed excited to work with me to make the painting I purchased into a work of art. He patiently went through many different framing options, offering suggestions but also listening to my preferences and working with my style. He offered me a coupon to use to bring the cost down a bit which was really nice and not expected! He was able to get the framing done in a week and I was REALLY pleased with how it came out. I would definitely go back there again and would recommend Lumiere to others! A+ —dmarie

Spectrum Gallery continues to be part of the Lumiere Photo store with a very high profile 700 sq. ft. gallery. —WilliamEdwards
