You can use any photo you'd like - but remember that the better the photo, the better the finished PictureWeave product. We have a few suggestions, listed below:
- SIZE: Any photo will work. We prefer photos larger than 5x7. For digital photographs, please make sure that they were taken by a 1 megapixel or better camera.
- CONTRAST: A high contrast photo works the best. A black dog on a black couch in a dark room will not yield the best results. Conversely, a white dog in the snow will not work well, either. If your main subject is brightly lit and the background is somewhat dark, the results will be brilliant! Please avoid dark shadows on the face or subject.
- FOCUS: Make sure your subject is sharp. The better the focus, the better the final piece will be.
- COLOR: We can use black and white or color.
- COMPOSITION: Keep it simple. Make sure that your subject occupies 60-80% of the photo. This is not an absolute necessity, but it will make for a better finished piece.
Creative cropping of your photo will result in a better composition, and ultimately, a better finished piece. If you would like us to crop your photo to best show the subject matter, please indicate so when you place your order.
- We suggest that you save your photo to the desktop of your computer, or another place that is easy for you to find. We recommend saving your image as a JPEG or TIFF - and your camera will usually save the image in an acceptable format.
