Frequently Asked Questions

| What Formats of Photographs should I use? |
Traditional Prints
Many of our Photo products are created from traditional photographic prints that our customers send to us. A question that frequently arises is “Will I get it back? “ Absolutely. We are obsessive about taking care of our customer’s property. That being said, we strongly recommend NEVER sending us an irreplaceable photograph. Packages can and do get lost in transit and we would hate for you to lose a one of a kind image. If you have a treasured photo and no negative or copy we suggest that you have a high quality duplicate made before sending it to us.
Digital Photography
The resolution from most new digital cameras works perfectly for our Photo products. If your camera is 3 mega pixel or higher and you've taken the photo at the highest setting you won't have a problem. If you're not sure about any of that, you can check the file size by right clicking on your image, then, click on properties, where the size will be displayed. Images that are 2 meg or higher are great. Images under 2 meg but higher than 0.7 meg are usually workable, so go ahead and upload those. JPEG or TIF files are both OK. We'll always call you if there is an issue.
Scanning Tips
You can use a flat bed scanner to scan your image at 300 dpi resolution. Save the file in RGB mode using JPEG format with the highest quality setting and lowest compression.
If you have an old photo and don't have a scanner, you can have your photo scanned into a 300 dpi JPEG digital file on a CD at selected Kinko's stores, which you can then upload to us from your PC. |

We don’t discriminate! When you place your order you will be prompted, “Digital photo” or “traditional print”, either way we have a solution for you.

Can I see the picture before you put it on your photo products?

Yep. You can see our different retouching options range from removing dates to removing entire backgrounds and replacing with new ones.
Can I make a black and white photo color or vice versa?

Do you have discounts for photographers or wholesale pricing?
