Converting your photo to a digital image
You'll need a scanner to do this. If you do not have a scanner, ask your local Internet cafe or photo/copy shop to scan your photos onto a disk/CD. Photos should be scanned at 300 dpi in 24-bit color. Photos smaller than 4x6" should be scanned at 400 dpi (or higher). The scanned image must then be saved as a High-Quality JPEG file. The size of the JPEG file should NOT exceed 5 MB.
If your photo is torn, arrange the pieces on the scanner so that none are overlapping.
Which photos should I use?
Always choose photos that are sharp (not out of focus) and large enough to show details that you want seen in the artwork. I need to see fine details such as a pets/person's eyes. Then, make sure you like the photo. I can work off photos that are blurry, dark & small but additional charges may apply (and the work will take longer to complete).
How should I pack my photo prints and where should they be sent?
If you are sending more than one photo, please label your photos (and) refer to them using the labels you have assigned). I recommend writing on 3M Scotch Post-It notes and sticking that on the back of a photo (instead of writing directly on the back of a photo).
I also recommend that you include a piece of cardboard (like a postcard) with your photo prints for added protection. If your photos are very valuable, I recommend that you make copies or place your photo prints between two pieces of cardboard and sealing everything in an appropriate-size plastic bag.
