Photo Requirements

The better the image the better the crystal will turn out!

A digital image from scanned pictures or from a digital camera should be of an appropriate resolution and clarity for printing.  Image files that are too small (low resolution) may yield a print that appears grainy, cloudy or pixilated.

We recommend that scanned images or digital files have the equivalent of 200 to 400 dpi (Dots Per Inch).  Generally, any photo taken in regular mode or better with any modern camera will work great.  No re-sizing or cropping of files is necessary.

The most common size that you will see on the web and that many images programs will automatically use is 72 dpi.  These will not provide the same high quality image that a 300 dpi image has.
