IMAGE TIPS...

Remember the 3 S's - Size, Sharpness, and Subject

 

  • Size - Remember, the bigger the photo (pixel size) the better.  Try to choose images that are at least 1 mb but not larger than 3 mb.  When scanning photos to upload, set scanner to 300 dpi.  Photographs should be at least 4×6 in size.  If possible, crop the image to include just the face or torso area.

 

  • Sharpness - Images need to be in focus and close-ups of the head or torso area as much as possible.  Images that are at a distance will appear out of focus when enlarged and cropped to the face.

 

  • Subject - The photograph should emphasize the individual or individuals the portrait will be about.  For example, selfies work well because they're close-ups of the person, couple, or group. 

Poor - Too far away

Good - Closer

Best - Up Close
