Would you like to use our service and are wondering what you need to do to ensure that your gravestone photograph or an elegant portrait gift looks impeccable? The key to a high-quality image on porcelain or crystal is a well-executed scan – the outcome of our work and your satisfaction with the final product depend on it! Find out how to provide us with material at a resolution suitable for further processing by our specialists!
Firstly, resolution – why is it so important when scanning photos?
One of the fundamental concepts for photography enthusiasts is resolution – the value in DPI specifying the number of scan points per inch of the image. The higher it is, the more detail will be visible in the final photo, regardless of the size at which it is printed. When submitting a photograph to our specialists, please ensure it is taken at the correct resolution so that all details are clearly visible.
The scanning process in a few simple steps – provide us with the highest-quality photograph!
You can prepare the photograph using your own device. The best scanners are known as flatbed scanners. Below are a few tips on how to produce a good scan of a photograph yourself.
Step 1. Place the photograph in the scanner and launch the scanning software on your computer.
Step 2. In the scan settings, select the resolution parameters. For large images, this will be 600 dpi, whilst for group photos you can use as high as 900–1200 dpi. Optionally, you can select predefined settings for photographs in the scanning software. Additionally, if it’s a black-and-white photograph, you can choose to scan in greyscale; if it’s in colour, leave the scan in colour.
Step 3. You can begin preparing the photograph, then save it in JPG format and upload it via our ordering system!
Further tips – how to achieve even better photo quality on porcelain or crystal?
Please bear in mind that the colours in the scan will differ from those in the original photograph, and that every monitor displays colours differently. Therefore, despite using professional and calibrated equipment, we cannot guarantee 100% colour accuracy.
