Photo Montage Ordering

Gather all of the pictures that you want to use. Try to choose your best pictures when possible. Keep in mind that while small problems can be corrected, imperfect or out of focus pictures may not be flattering to your project. Thinking of the mood that you want to create, decide what order they should appear in the montage. Using Post-It Notes, number the back of each photo in the order of which it should appear. DO NOT write on the back of your pictures. This could cause damage. Place the set of photos in a Zip-Loc bag labeled with the name of the song you would like to play during the montage. If you would like more than one song, you should use a separate bag for each piece of music and the photos that should be used with it. Label the bag with its order in the montage and the song title.

If you are sending video footage to be included, please have the tape stopped at the point that you want to appear.

If sending digital photos, you may either send them on a CD-ROM, floppy disk or the media card that your camera uses. Digital pictures (if they are small enough), may also be emailed directly to us. We can provide you with the appropriate email address. Label the picture files in the numeric order they should appear in your project.

You may pay by PayPal, check or money order. Keep in mind that checks must be held for at least 5-7 days before your final project can be shipped to you.

Photo Scanning Tips

If you own a scanner and wish to scan your own photos to submit, please follow the recommendations below to provide the best results.

Clean the scanner glass with a soft lint free cloth to ensure it is free of fingerprints, smudges and dust.
If the photograph is in a picture frame or photo album, carefully remove it before scanning. If portions of the original photograph are stuck to the picture frame glass or album page, do not attempt to remove those portions and risk further damage. Scan these photos directly through the glass or sheet to try and get the highest quality image possible.
Always handle photographs by their edges, avoid touching the picture area of the photo. If available, it is best to wear clean cotton gloves.
Scan your photographs at 16 million colors RGB or higher, even if they are black and white.
Scan at 300 dpi (dots per inch). This is very important, no scan should be less than 300 dpi.
If your scanning software includes a sharpen or any other automatic correction option, please be sure that it is disabled.
Save files as JPEGs, use the highest quality (minimal compression) options.
- When scanning photos for a montage / slideshow project, be sure to label them numerically in the order in which they are to appear.
