How do I Decide on a Quantity for my Holiday Photo Cards?

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Or, how do I order more holiday photo cards if my list has suddenly grown?

Sometimes you forget a few people on your holiday list. Your child’s dance teacher, soccer coach, teacher from 3 years ago… maybe a new neighbor. A good rule of thumb is to add 10% This holds true for other types of cards like photo birth announcements and birthday party invitations.

It’s also possible that you just totally underestimated how many people you wanted to brag about your family send holiday greetings to. If that’s the case just let us know. We can make more.

Multiple Photos – Custom Holiday Photo Cards

Friday, November 28th, 2008

All Scrapless Press photo cards can accommodate more than one photo. We custom create them based on the number of your photos and how we can crop them. We do have some examples of how we have changed the base design for multiple photos.

To order holiday photo cards with multiple photos, select the base design from the pulldown menu of our order form. In the special instructions area, you can make notes about the number of photos you’d like and if they should go in a particular order. We always show proofs and will not print without your approval by e-mail.

Check the Camera Settings, Bigger is Better

Friday, November 28th, 2008

In digital photography, resolution is a measure of how many pixels make up a digital picture. It has become the holy grail of digital photography, as manufacturers compete to produce cameras with ever-higher pixel counts – the number of pixels in the camera’s image sensor, which determines how many will be in the actual picture.

The resolution of digital cameras is measured in megapixels, with a megapixel being a million pixels. The more pixels a camera has, generally the better the quality of its photographs

Check your camera’s settings. With most digital point-and-shoot cameras, you can actually choose a lower resolution than the camera’s advertised maximum. You do this by entering the shooting menu and selecting the “Image Size” or “Resolution” option. When you do that, you’ll see a series of number pairs such as these:

2048 x 1536 (high resolution, perfect for photo cards)
1600 x 1200
1280 x 960
1024 x 768
640 x 480 (low resolution, suitable for viewing on a computer monitor)

These are just a few examples, your camera may capture at resolutions greater than this.

The highest number pair represents pretty much all the pixels available in the camera’s image sensor. When you turn on your camera for the first time, it’s usually preset to this top resolution level. In most cases, you should probably keep it at that setting.

Keep your camera set to its top resolution level. If you want smaller picture files to email, you can always downsize them after the fact with computer software.

Send us your original, un-edited, un-cropped photos. We’ll do the rest. Anytime you open and re-save a photo as a JPEG you will lose resolution, and clarity in the photo. We suggest you send us photos exactly as they came off of your camera as these will produce the best quality. You can make note of any special cropping instructions or color (black and white, sepia) preferences you have in the special instructions area of our order form.

Happy photographing!
