Advice on Image Quality & File Size

All images should be emailed to us as good quality, high resolution JPG files.

If you are taking the photo on a digital camera then the highest quality settings should be used.

Photos taken on a mobile phone camera are not suitable.

If the images are not of suitable quality or layout we will contact you and ask you to supply new images.

for Invitations & personalised cards

Files should be at least 150dpi and have a file size of at least 1mb - 2mb.

Please ensure all photographs:

• are well lit
• do not have large shadowy or dark areas
• do not appear dull
• are not blurred or out-of-focus
• are not cropped too close in on the subject, we need some background in the photograph to get the best layout possible
• don't worry about red eye - we will fix this

for Canvases

Files should be at least 150dpi and have a file size of at least 2mb - 4mb.

Please ensure all photographs:

• are well lit
• do not have large shadowy or dark areas
• do not appear dull
• are not blurred or out-of-focus
• are not cropped too close in on the subject, we need some background in the photograph to get the best layout possible
• don't worry about red eye - we will fix this
• avoid taking images against dark backgrounds - from experience we find light, colourful backgrounds work and look the best

Sending from a hotmail account:

When sending images from a hotmail email account please ensure images are attached to your email as a 'file' and not as a "photograph' as when attached as photographs occasionally the images are automatically compressed to make a smaller file size which are then not suitable for reproduction on your cards.
