Photograph Guidelines

Tips for submitting a photograph:

• Please supply us with the best quality photo that you have of your loved one.  The better the photo that you supply to us the better the job we can do. 
• We cannot fix out of focus and blurred photos.  Some adjustments can be made within our software to adjust for brightness and contrast. 
• For digital photos we prefer GIF, TIF, BMP file formats.  We will work with JPG file formats but some photo clarity is lost with this file format. 
• The image should be saved with the highest resolution possible without the file size exceeding 3.5Mb.  Larger files may be emailed to:  tom@laserengraving4u.com
• Please don't compress the image before sending to us, in most cases this will cause a loss of photo clarity and it cannot be recovered once the file compression occurs.
