For
best results, follow these guidelines:
- Include
the whole head, ears and neck, nothing cropped off. (ex: an ear cropped
out of the photo)
- Pet
looking slightly off camera or directly at camera is best.
- Don't
use a photo with eyes closed
- Include
the neck.
- Make
sure nothing is interfering with/overlapping photo. (ex: a finger over
part of the dog)
- Slightly
blurry photos sometimes reproduce just fine with the artistic effects.
Send the best photo you can and we'll let you know if it will work.
(no charge for the consultation)
- Don't
use a flash if possible. Take photos outdoors or in bright light. Flashes
cause red-eye. If outdoors, keep sun behind you. We do our best to remove
red-eye but it is not always guaranteed to look its best. (if it's all
you have, send it and we'll work our magic as best we can)
- Dark
photos can usually be lightened to satisfaction
- Too
much flash/light can over-expose the photo, and blow out the detail.
This is sometimes not possible to fix.
- Can't
get your pet to look at you? Bring a really good treat with you for
"encouragement." That almost always does the trick. (hint:
cheese)
We
CAN remove the background.
We CAN lighten or darken the photo.
We CAN remove red-eye. (not preferred)
We
CANNOT fix closed eyes.
We CANNOT add ears or other missing parts.
A
digital photo is best.
Formats: jpg, eps, pdf, tif, png
(if you have another one, send it. We can probably open it.)
If you only have a printed photo, try scanning it or having someone scan
it for you.
If
you mail a printed photo, add $7.50 additional scanning fee to digitize
your photo.
