Background Photo and Overlay Specifications
Background file:
File Type: JPG file in RGB color format. We can also handle black and white and can convert the photo emailed in to B&L so that it looks like the person is part of the original background.
File Dimensions: The shortest dimension should be 1000 pixels or larger. When processed the outgoing photos are sized at about 1 Meg to preserve bandwidth. Since they are mostly viewed on a phone, that resolution works well.
File Aspect Ratio: Because these photos are not normally printed they can be any aspect ratio you wish. We have even placed people in panoramas. If you intend for these images to be printed the aspect ratio should match the paper size and be set at 300 dpi (dots per inch). For example if this is to be printed in 4x6 inches the background image should be 1200 pixels by 1800 pixels.
Composition: Select a background that has room to place the person in an area that doesn’t obscure too much of the main subject. We can set the vertical axis anywhere in the photo.
Below is an example of placing the overlay of center in the photo.
