from ezpencils.com
First things first - Copyrights! Submitted
photos must be your own private property. If not, copyrights must be obtained
with legal permission from the owner before uploading images for reproduction.
By using our site for photos, you certify that you are entitled to use the
uploaded photos in this manner.
How to Upload Your Images
1. From the product page of a photo item, click on the "Browse"
button to locate and upload your image.
2. Add a description of your image for our production team. This description is
not printed on the personalized gift. It only serves as a reference for
producing your order.
Please refer to our Image Requirements below for more
information.
Image Requirements
* ezpencils.com accepts images with the following extensions: JPG and
GIF.
We recommend using JPG formats. (GIF images will not reproduce as well as
other formats because of color compression.)
For the best results, your photograph should meet these four requirements.
1. Subject
Matter. The main subject of your photo should occupy a minimum of
50-80% of the entire photograph (i.e. a closeup of a face).
2. Picture
Quality. The quality of the photo (i.e. clarity, brightness,
spottiness) will affect the final product. If your photo is blurry, the end
product will be blurry, (and cannot be returned). If there are white flash
spots on the faces in your image, the white spots will appear even brighter in
your end product.
3. Contrast. The
main subject of your photo should be noticeably different in color/contrast
from the background within the photo (i.e. it is difficult to see a black cat
sitting on a black sofa in a dark room).
4. No
Fancy Stuff. Do not use photographs which have professionally printed
borders, fading, snow effects or even vignetted borders. Use the original
image.
Also:
* The upload time will depend on the file size and your internet connection
speed. Please be patient when uploading a large image.
* Please use the best-quality image possible. See the chart below for
recommended file sizes for the product you are ordering. If your image is below
the minimum resolution requirements, you will need to provide a higher
resolution image to complete your order. The ezpencils.com system allows
for images which meet appropriate quality values.

* When scanning in photographs, please use a resolution of 300 dpi or higher.
When taking digital images, set your camera at the highest possible resolution.
You can always reduce the resolution later. Low-resolution images cannot be
increased without loss of image quality.
* Your image will be reproduced as it appears. In some cases, we may crop the
image for size, to fit the product you order. However, ezpencils.com will
not color correct, retouch or otherwise crop your image. For the best results,
we ask that you edit the photo with the online photo preview tool to the size
and aspect ratio suggested in the product descriptions.
* Close-ups and images with bright colors will produce the best results.
