- 3 Points to Remember
-
We are making a circle (plate) out of a rectangle (photo). Make sure the subject(s) of the photo are in the middle of the shot. The corners will be cut off. We
have a resizing screen in the "Order Now" section that will also help you with this.
-
On digital cameras, we need at least 300 dots per square inch resolution to get the clearest possible picture for your photo plate. Most digital cameras sold today have this
resolution built into them, but it doesn't hurt to check.
-
Look through all of your old photos. There might be other events that you'll want to commemorate with a picture plate (weddings, graduations, vacations, family, pets, etc.)
Makes a great Birthday Gift!
- "Order Now" Button
-
Once you hit the "Order Now" button, you will be taken to a page to upload your photo. Just press the "Browse" button and navigate to the folder that hold your photos. Click on the photo you wish
to upload and press the "Upload Photo" button. This will send your photo to our website to resize.
-
Once you have uploaded your photo, you will be taken to a sizing screen to resize your photo, from a rectangle to a square. To crop your photo into a square, hold down the Shift key
and drag a box over your photo by holding down the left mouse button, clicking in the upper left hand area and dragging the box diagonally across the photo. Try to leave some space on all sides of the
subject to make sure that what you want gets on your plate. Once you have the square picture
that you like, let go of the shift key and the mouse. It should be a perfect square as shown by the coordinate number below the picture. You may now press the "Preview" button to see your
photo resized with a circle drawn on it to show how your photo will appear on your picture plate.
-
If you are satisfied with your preview, press the "Add to Cart" button. Don't like it? Press the "Adjust" button until you get it right. If you think a different photo will work better, press
the "Start Over" button and upload a different photo.
-
Once your plate is added to your cart you may "Add Another Plate" or view your shopping cart by pressing the "View Cart" button.
-
You may view the contents of your Shopping cart at any time by pressing the "View Cart" button or the "View Cart" link at the bottom of every page.
You may remove items or change the quantity of your plates before checking out.
