What format do my photos need to be in to print?

We can accept JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and PSD formats. Some iPhones will automatically save your images to a high efficiency file. Go to your camera settings and change it to most compatible and you should be good from there.

Do I edit my photos before sending them?

Unedited photos are best. If taken on a newer phone, you can tweak a few things such as exposure, brightness and sharpness. We ask that the image is cropped to show just the printable image you want. If sending an edited photo taken on camera, set quality to maximum before saving.

 What is the importance of a calibrated monitor? 

Most computers and phones are set to office use and so have blue hues which an alter the images you see. Free calibration tools on your computer, while adequate, are not sufficient for prints. All that to end with this. Colors may differ between monitors. Ours are calibrated to true color. Don’t over think it. Good lighting is the most important and the rest is something we can work with you on. You do not need a calibrated monitor or fancy equipment.

Do you edit the photos you receive? 

We do not do any editing to your photos with the exception of dpi adjustments, and sizing to fit your desired final print and removing minor glares. We do not print if we see a problem and will walk you through any issues that may arise. We want your print to be exactly what you imagine it to be!

What resolution should my photos be?

Again not something you need to worry excessively about. Cameras can be set to high resolution. However, phones now have amazing camera and with the right lighting your phone photos will print incredible quality! We take care of the rest!

How do I know the size maximum I can get from my photos? 

Most images can be adjusted in size. We will let you know if there is any problems with the sizes you want. Keep in mind that square images will stretch or need to be cropped to conform to rectangle sized print. We double check everything before printing so you get the highest quality print.

 Should I include white borders on my image?

If you want white borders on your image, they should be added before sending to us. We print most images borderless and trim along the image itself. This can result in a small amount of the art being trimmed, though we do our best to avoid that. 

 Can I do borderless prints?

Yes. Be aware that some of the edge of your image may be outside the cut lines.

 How do I take my photos of my art?

You can take photos with your Phone! Newer phones have amazing cameras! You don’t need to pay a professional photographer or have an expensive camera. You can take your art outdoors into the shade or set it up inside near windows to get photos. Be sure there are no glares from sunlight or shadows on the image. I take mine with indoor lighting. I have a place where the recessed light bounces off the floor and reflects perfectly onto the art. It means sometimes being on my belly while taking the photo but it works! Experiment with different settings and lights. And remember, we are here to help you.
