Using Digital Photos
If using a digital camera, select the highest quality setting available on the camera. Do not scan photos from business cards, magazines, newspapers, color laser prints or inkjet prints — they usually contain dot patterns that conflict with our printing system. Please scan from the original, professionally-developed photographic print whenever possible.
