What does "dpi" mean?
When a computer displays a digital image, what it does is take the data in the file and display thousands of tiny dots on your screen. The more dots an image has, the more detailed the picture can be. Image quality is measured by dots per inch, or "dpi". For best results, we recommend that your digital pictures be at least 300 dpi when printed on the Photo Gift.
What are the supported file types when e-mailing photos?
When sending photograph files electronically via e-mail, there are 5 basic file types you can use for your photo gifts: .jpg, .bmp, .tif, .png, and .gif. (JPEG is recommended)
JPEG (can be .jpg or .jpeg)- JPEG's support over 16 million colors, but can "distort" the image to compress the file size. The amount distortion is directly related to the 'quality' setting the image is saved with. We also recommend that you use the least amount of jpeg compression possible. (This is a setting on cameras that is sometimes called "quality" or "compression".
