Scanned or Digitized Photos

Wedding anniversary, tribute book, biography or family album?
Would you like to add your old printed pictures to your photobooks?

Here are some practical advices to digitize your pictures:

*
The software accepts only the images in JPEG format.
*
Use 300 or 600 dpi during the digitalization.
*
During the editing, pay attention on the proportion of your photos: our models of page are drawn for standard digital photos 1200x1600, 2560x1920, etc. Most of the scanned pictures are 4 "x 6" and do not fill all the space. Make sure to enlarge and to reframe your photos with the magnifying glass which appears in the upper left corner of the picture, once inserted into a page.

Here is a summary of the dimensions minimum recommended (digital or scanned photos):

*
640x480 not recommended for the impression
*
800x600 or more for an impression of 4 " x 6 " on the page *
1024x768 or more for an impression of 5 " x 7 " on the page *
1600x1200 or more for an impression of 8.5" x 11 " (full page - minimum quality) *
2560x1920 for an impression of 8.5" x 11 " (full page - excellent quality)

The software accepts only photos having a minimal resolution of 800x600.

Off to your scanner!
