2. Prepare and send content for your photobook:

   Photos: After your personal consultation you will have a list of topics within your subject to guide you in choosing the photos for your photobook. We recommend to include a few additional images, that may be used for design purposes. Please make it clear which ones these are.
   
   Sorting: The photos that you would like used in your photobook should be divided by topic, unless you would like them in order of the date take. If they are not sorted in this way, an additional charge will be applied depending on the time it takes for Sunrise Creations to organise your images.
   
   Wording: Type the wording that you would like in your photobook and send this in with your images.

File Formats

We accept jpg, jpeg, png, gif, bmp, tif, tiff. If your photo is in a different format, please let us know and we will have a look at it.

Printed Photographs

We accept printed photographs. These will be returned to you along with your order. When selecting the photographs to use, ensure the image is sharp. Photos taken in a well lit situation will give the best result

Scanning Images yourself

If you are scanning images for a photo book, please email one to us prior to scanning them all so that we can verify the quality. Here are some tips:

- Dust your scanner and photograph with a lint free cloth;
- Scan your images at a minimum of 300 dpi;
- Crop the photos to the edge of the original photo.

Minimum Resolution

Please send us high resolution images; the higher the quality photo, the better the result. We recommend you use a 3 megapixel camera or better.

Black and White or Sepia

Rather than taking your photo using the black and white setting on your camera, take it in colour and we will convert it to black and white or sepia using our professional software. You will receive a far higher quality result!

Uploading

When uploading, always upload your original unedited and uncropped image, so that we have the best quality of file to design with.

Special Instructions

Our designers will digitally enhance your photos for free. However if there is anything particular you would like done, eg. removing blemishes, please let us know.

Cropping

Please do not crop your image, We will do this as part of the design process. If you have a certain way that you would like to see the photo, either let us know or send us your version as well as the original photo.

Not Ready with a Photo?

Do you have a photo shoot planned? No problem - you can still complete your order and either you or your photographer can upload your photo afterwards.
