Image Requirements
Of course we'll take what you have, but if you have any ability to control what you submit for printing, we ask that you take into consideration the following image requirements and suggestions. These suggestions could significantly improve the quality of your family's Memorial Portrait.
 

Paper Photographs
   

Always ask the family for the best photograph. If they are not comfortable with you sending us the original photograph, ask them to make a copy at a large drugstrore chain and allow you to send us the original. They will be pleased with the results. Original photographs always reproduce better.

If the family wants somebody removed from the photo, please don't cut the person out by hand. Let us do it digitally. The results will always look more realistic. Plus we may need something from that area of the photo to complete our work or restoration.

Please support the photo properly. Send us the photo in a photo mailer or use a cardboard backing board when mailing.
 

Images From a Digital Camera
    Where The Original File is Available
   

The raw file as it comes out of the digital camera is always best . It may be a low-resolution file, but we can increase the resolution and size it using some of our digital tools. Most digital cameras store their images in the JPEG format. This is an acceptable format for us to print from and beats the final results of an inkjet print every time.

If you open the file in a photo editor and make changes to the image, we recommend that you save the image again in JPEG format and use the HIGHEST quality compression level – that's usually Level 12 or "Highest". This will produce the best results from a digital camera and still travel well in e-mail. If you open the file in a photo editor and do not make changes – don't save it again. Every time you save a JPEG image, a little quality is lost.

Place the image on a CD or USB Memory Stick and send it to us. We'll return your media with the order.
    Where The Original file is Not Available or You Have Edited It
   

If the raw file from the camera is not available, that's okay too. Send us what you have. If you have edited the photo, please save the image again in JPEG format and use the HIGHEST quality compression level – usually Level 12. We also ask that you let us size the image and set the resolution. We use industry-leading image editing tools and they produce the best results available today. When editing the photo, we ask that you leave the whole photo intact. Don't cut things out or crop the image – we sometimes use information from other areas of the photo to improve the image or fix flaws that you and the family have requested. The information that you don't intend to be in the Memorial Portrait sometimes can be very valuable in creating the best reproduction for your family.

Place the image on a CD or USB Memory Stick and send it to us. We'll return your media with the order.
