Please note that copyright laws protect photographs. When you submit your photos to us, you acknowledge and agree that you have the legal right to do so. |
When selecting photographs to represent your family members, it is best to choose a good size, better quality photo! We also recommend pictures when the individual is in the prime of their life. If no photo is available, we can place a male or female silhouette in its place.
The printing quality of photocopies or newspaper copies is rarely acceptable. If that is all that is available, use the “de-screen” feature when scanning.
If you have a good picture, but the face is quite small, scan the picture by first adjusting the scale tool on the scanner to a higher percentage such as 150%, 200% or 300%. You may also adjust the setting to 600 dpi.
When we receive your photos, we convert all of them to the same tone (Sepia or Black-and-White) based on the chosen background color/category. Therefore, do not let the color in a photo persuade you to choose one photo over another because we eliminate the distinguishing color anyway. |
