Tips for Choosing Photos

Tips for Choosing Photos
The highest quality photographs are necessary - to create the highest quality images.
• Photos should be originals - black & white or color. Duplicates are not considered an original.
Each time a photo is copied or enlarged, the overall quality is reduced and some clarity is lost.
• Avoid photographs that are washed out as the image will not be crisp and clear.
• The photograph should have good contrast and clarity to achieve desired results
For example, someone with dark hair or clothing is best presented in front of a light background.
Blurry or fuzzy photos will not provide the clarity needed to distinguish facial features or other details.
• Images that show shadows - will be reproduced with shadows.
• Indicate which portion of the photograph should be used - the entire photo or a certain person.
• Photo enlargements, low resolution and pixilated digital images will not produce desired results.
• Background photographs should be scenic, such as: the ocean, forest, open road, mountains, etc.
Photographs that include individuals or groups of people cannot be used as a background.
• Any photograph needing to be retouched due to scratches, fading, etc. will incur additional charges.
