Digital - Photograph and Image - Tips

If you are using a print photograph, we prefer that you send us the actual print and let us scan it. This insures the highest quality image for your design layout.

If you are scanning, upon receipt of email with scanned image, photo will be inspected for quality. If quality is determined to be less than desirable, we will notify customer ASAP.

If you are using a digital camera image, you can email us the image. We strongly recommend digital images be at least 100 – 200 KB. Images should be sent to us in jpeg (jpg) format.

When sending us a digital image, send us the full, uncompressed, non-resized version.

Resizing a digital photographic file may give you the dimensions that you want but it may not deliver the quality. When resizing digital files in a graphics application (PhotoShop, Photo Deluxe, Picture It, etc.) it is very easy to change the file's dimensions and dpi to new settings. However, doing so may actually degrade the quality of your image. Interpolation is the term used to describe how graphics applications recalculate the pixels that make up an image file and add or subtract pixels to recreate the image at the new size. We recommend leaving digital files at their original size and allowing us to resize the image.

Step #2 Upon receipt of your request we will assemble your design. If there is any question regarding the information you submitted, we will call. The completed design will then be posted on a customer layout web page. A link to the page will be included in my reply email with your quote. Customer needs to click on the link to review the design. Note that there may be several designs on a web page. You may need to scroll down the page to view your design.

Dear Fran,
Thank You so very much for lending your talents to help so many people like me "Remember". The Candle you made for me was Breathtaking. No words can explain how I felt when I opened the box and looked at My Beautiful Candle & Poem, Only Tears.
Now we have a candle to light, In Memory of Our Unknown.
For those who have had a MISCARRIAGE, would understand what this has meant. And to those who haven't, I hope they never understand what it means to lose, to grieve, and to heal.
So Thank You Again, Fran
Tina (Jeanerette, Louisiana)

My name is Maria Benitez and I have been looking everywhere for the ideal memorial candle to light in my wedding ceremony this November 9th, 2002. My fiancé grandmother recently past away on May 5th of this year and she was a great part of his life and was very supportive of us getting married. We wanted to find just the right candle with her name and nice verse. The problem was that we would like to know if engraving was possible in Spanish. We also wanted to find another candle with the names of 3 family members that have past on in my lifetime who would be at the ceremony if they were still living. Thank you.....Maria and Rudy."

Below are the results of Maria's request.
