Frequently Asked Questions
Uploading Pictures
What kind of file do I need to upload?The website at present can only facilitate a jpeg file. This is the standard format generated by your digital camera.
To check the file is a jpeg right click on the actual picture file. A list of options will pop up with "Properties" at the bottom. Click on "Properties." A window will open with two tabs at the top, "General" and "Summary." The “General” tab is displayed and you can view the type of file.
What kind of resolution does the picture need to be?
To check the print resolution of the picture click on the "Check Picture Quality" button. If you magnify this proof up to 200% you will be able to view the sharpness of the picture. If the picture is blurred then the picture resolution may not be of high enough quality to send to print. If the picture is clear at 200% then the printed quality will be fine. Please note uploading a high quality image will yield better reproduction results. If you are using a picture that has been emailed to you, please make sure the sender did not reduce the size of the picture. Make sure they send you the picture in the format and size generated by the camera.
Do I have to use a digital camera?
Ideally digital cameras produce the best quality pictures. If you are using a picture taken using a camcorder or mobile phone please refer to the section above which details how you can check the resolution of the picture. The quality of the picture sometimes is often not as good from mobile phones or camcorders.
What kind of picture works best?
Simple and natural ones. If you look at the pictures we have taken you may get an idea. Try to keep background noise to a minimum and if possible use natural light instead of a flash. We can work with colour or black & white pictures.
