Tips on picking the Correct Photo for a memorial card

 Here are some tips to help you pick the right photo for a memorial card:

  1. Choose a photo that shows your loved one in a relaxed moment, like a casual snap that brings back happy memories.
  2. Make sure the photo is clear and sharp by using a high-resolution scan or the original digital file. Low-quality images can look fuzzy or pixelated when printed.
  3. Old printed photos often have a unique charm that looks great in a collage showing different stages of someone’s life.
  4. Take a clear photo of a printed picture using a good phone camera. Place the photo on a well-lit surface, like a kitchen counter, and take the picture from directly above to avoid shadows.
  5. Use photos taken in natural light for the best clarity and colours. Avoid dimly lit photos or ones that are blurry, as they won’t print well on the memorial card.
  6. Pick photos with simple backgrounds to keep the focus on the person. If needed, we can use software like Photoshop to blur or blend backgrounds.
  7. We can improve photos with professional editing software to adjust brightness, contrast, and colours for better quality.
  8. Provide the original, un cropped version of the photo if possible. This helps us frame the picture nicely on the memorial card.
  9. Black and white photos can look timeless and elegant. If the original colour photo isn’t great, converting it to black and white can be a good option.
  10. Get feedback from family or friends when choosing a photo. They might have insights that help you make the best decision.
