To receive the best final printing result for your photo you should try and provide us with the best possible photo of the motive you would like printed. Try to take as many different photos and work with a quality digitial camera that has at least 6MB pixels - to receive a good scanning result in the case that you only have a hard copy set your scanner to the highest quality settings or alternatively mail us your photo. Our photo department can improve images and make them sharper but if the original photograph is of low quality there are not many improvements we can do. We would like to give you some examples on what we mean by Good photos, photos that are poor or just reasonable.
Good photographs - this will work for all our editing styles
The photo is sharp and the main focus is the subject - the subject is clearly visible and all details are captured. If you can zoom into the image and still see the facial details you have a good photograph.
Sharpness in the entire photograph
The subject is clearly visible
Even when zooming into the image details remain clear
Photographs are reasonable - this means the photo is ok and we can work with it but perhaps you can provide a better photo?
The photo will work but if you do have a photo that is of a better quality we would recommend to rethink your choice. As better the photograph as easier it will be for our editors to have it prepared for the printing process and the final print result will also be much better. Try to zoom into the image and if lines and details get blurry it might still be possible to work with it - please consult with us and we can help you with the right choice.
The sharpness is clear but might be out of focus in certain parts of the photograph
Photographs are poor - unfortunately we will not be able to work with photos of this group - the result would not be satisfactory
A photograph that fits into this group is not good enough to result in a quality print on canvas. For this reason we would reject a photo like this and ask you for alternatives.
The photo has no sharpness and looks blurred
The subject is not close enough and has no focus in the overall photograph
The photograph has no good clarity which might be the result from a photo that was over or not enough exposed or also the camera has not a good digital resolution (some camera phones for example)
