Choosing Your Basic Photo
Some of the best results come from the most unlikely photos! There's no need to worry about the exact photo you'd like us to work with, you can email us a selection of your favourites and we'll let you know which one will provide the optimum result.
Pre-creative enhancements
This is part of our all-inclusive service - if your original image is not ‘perfect’, we will tidy it up, removing any obvious blemishes, red-eye or date stamps prior to the creative stage. We'll also crop the image to achieve the most appealing composition.
Pop Art Styles
It's not nesessary for you to specify the 'style' of portrait you want as we find that each individual photo will tend to lend itself to a particular style and composition. Having said that we are very happy for our customers to tell us about their preferences and/or email us samples of the styles they like. Don't worry – we will always advise you if your photo isn't going to translate to a particular style.
If you would like to discuss your project with us before you place an order, please email us or give us a call on: 07976 745 714.
Technical Guidelines
Image size
- The best results are achieved using jpeg images with file sizes between 800KB - 9MB (pictures taken using a mobile phone camera/digital camera with less than 4 mega-pixels are usually unsuitable).
- The maximum file size you can email us is 9MBs. If you have an image larger than 9MB, please burn it onto to CD and mail it to us (see contact page for our address).
Resolution
- 300 dpi is the optimum resolution, however less may be acceptable provided the 'file size' is big enough.
Conventional photographs
Unfortunately we do not handle photographic prints; you will need to scan these at 300 dpi and save as a jpeg file.
