What pictures will look best? TOP

You can use any picture with natural colors, high contrast and in good focus. If it is a photo of a person, make sure that skin tones look natural without harsh shadows on a face. Close up photo with sharp details will look best in a final product. High contrast is very important - dark subject on a dark background, or light subject on a light background won't look as great. If it is a building or a car, make sure it is a sharp, well lit photograph with fine details.


What size of pictures do you accept? TOP

We accept any paper pictures 8x10 AND high resolution digital pictures (resolution must be 1280x960 or at least 1Mb file). When taking pictures use 2 or higher megapixel camera, image set up - JPG or TIF, large file size and FINE quality.


Do you accept old photographs? TOP

Yes, we work with any photos. But if you want to submit an old photo, follow stated above guidelines. If picture is faded, changed color, needs retouching - it won't look good in a final product.

I am an artist, can I use my own art work to create a tapestry? TOP
