Scan
 

Scanning your picture:

  • Set your scanning software to 200 dpi resolution.

  • When selecting the area to scan, leave extra space around the edge of your picture (we'll crop it to edge).

  • Choose "save to file", not "scan to email", as most software reduces resolution with the "scan to email" feature.

  • Save the image as a high-quality (low-compression) .JPG file to a location where you can easily find it, such as your Desktop.

  • If you've done everything correctly, the image should be at least 1,500 by 1,500 pixels, and the file should be a few megabytes in size.

  • If you don't have a scanner or your picture is too big for your scanner, try your local print shop.

 
I have a high-resolution scan of my picture - how do I send it in?
