COLLAGES & GIFTS
How does it work? You send us between 25-50 digital pictures, and we will make a gorgeous collage for you!
What size is the collage? Our most popular size is 8x10. We can do larger sizes upon request.
Is text included? Yes, absolutely. We can add text for you or leave the collage as images only.
I don’t have a digital camera. Can you use my still photos? Yes, we can. We charge $.25 per photo. If you prefer, you can scan your own photos and email them to us or send us a cd.
How do I send you my non-digital photographs?
1. Scan your photo and email it to us.
- In the preview window, select only the photo (no white showing around the photo).
-Choose the color photo setting (even for black and white photos).
-Turn all enhancements off.
-Set the resolution quality to 300 dpi (dots per inch) or higher.
-Adjust the dpi setting until you end up with a file size of about 2.5 MB
-Save the file as a high quality JPEG.
-Email your photos to: athousandwordsproductions@comcast.net one at a time.
2. By mail. The U.S. postal service is excellent and offers tracking services as well. It is a good idea to take advantage of the extra security.
- Place photos between two pieces of cardboard or similar protection. The cardboard should be a bit larger than the largest photo.
- Use a padded envelope or special "Photo Mailer" package if you wish.
- Shipping containers should be marked "Do not bend" on both sides. If you fill out a customs form, it should be marked "photos" no value.
-Please call us at: 248-633-6976 or email us at: athousandwordsproductions@comcast.net for shipping address
3. A local photo lab. If you don’t want to mail your one of a kind photograph and you don’t have a scanner, you can go to a local photo store (ie – Kinko’s) and give them the scanning instructions above. Ask them to save the image to a CD. You can either email the photo as an attachment to athousandwordsproductions@comcast.net or mail us the disc. Please call us at: 248-633-6976 for shipping address.
