What To Consider When Choosing A Photo For A Custom Puzzle.
First, the better the quality of the photograph, the better the quality of the Custom Puzzle. It is suggested that your photo exceed the Minimum Resolution Guide. High-resolution files always lead to producing the best puzzles, so please keep this in mind when taking the photo.
Resolution Of Your Photo.
High Resolution photographs make excellent quality photo puzzles. Further, hiring a professional photographer and purchasing the proper size images for your puzzle is paramount to the success of the puzzle. If this puzzle is a family keepsake, I strongly suggest that you hire a professional if you do not own a high quality digital camera. Most of the new smartphones out today have incredible cameras that will take beautiful high-resolution files, but you will have to adjust the setting on your camera to take a High Dynamic Range or HDR.
Smart phones have amazing technology and it is very possible to take a high-resolution photo from your smart phone. The trick is also in the download. For more information on how to download a photo from your smart phone, please see our article on 10 Simple steps on downloading from an IPhone. Always remember that Actual or Original Size is the best choice when sending an image.
Color And Texture In Your Photo.
Colorful and interesting photo's make incredible custom puzzles. A beautiful Black and White photograph can be stunning and dramatic in a photograph, but a black and white image will be very challenging to assemble and might not have that same dramatic look on a custom puzzle. Choosing a photo that is colorful is less of a challenge to assemble and also looks amazing on a custom puzzle. Scenes with multiple colors and that are busy with different textures and objects make beautiful custom photo puzzles.
Texture In A Photo.
If you ask any dedicated puzzler about puzzles, almost all will tell you that all photos are not created equal, and not all photos make great photo puzzles. Choosing a beach scene that has a large beautiful blue sky and endless sand may look beautiful, but it is best to avoid this type of photo when creating a custom photo puzzle. Try to steer clear of images that contain a large amount of similar colors and textures, such as sky or grass.
Show Your Personality.
Photographs that show your true personality are the best fit for your puzzle. Will the photograph withstand time, or will it be like one of your old Prom photo's? You know, the one with the Beehive hairdo! Your photo should reflect who you are, show your love for each other, and should be natural and fun.
We Turn Your Most Cherished Photo Memories Into Personalized Puzzle fun...
Many years ago I purchased a personalized puzzle from a company that had an impressive website and all the right images. The price was ridiculously high and the time that it took to receive the product was weeks from the time of order. When I finally received the puzzle I was so disappointed that I became skeptical of ordering online. The puzzle that I had paid a hefty fee for was extremely smaller than expected, as they never advertised a finished size on the product but had an impressive piece count that misled me. Not only that, it was thin as a matchbook! My disappointment stayed with me for a very long time...
I am a retired Special Needs teacher who used puzzles in the classroom. I am also a widowed Mom to the most incredible amazing son, Artie, who has autism and is my inspiration and helper.
My son was having difficulties with focusing and I thought that a photo puzzle of himself would help. Immediately, I flashed back to my experience and decided against it. The idea began to bug me so I opened my own company to correct all of the pitfalls of the industry. Our puzzles are made thick and with high-quality materials. After all, they were made for my son and he sets the bar pretty high! The idea was born out of love and continues to grow...
