- What type of photo should we use?
A photo taken by a professional photographer works the best. A high resolution digital file from your photographer or personal digital camera offers the best results. If a digital photo is not available, mail or drop-off a print of the image you would like to have on the seating board.
Remember, the final product is 24" x 30" and a small print (wallet size) does not enlarge as well as a larger print (8x10). Your print will be returned to you in the condition in which we receive it.
