What
is a PRINT YOUR OWN service?
Our
Print Your Own service is a great alternative to spending per
print. It allows YOU to be in charge of printing. For $39.95,
you can take your digital file to any photo processing center
and order as many copies as you'd like.
We will also provide you with
another digital file with a Certificate of Copyright Permission
which will allow you to print as many copies as you'd like for
your own personal use. The Certificate does not allow you to modify
the design in any way or print copies that you will in turn sell
for profit. The design itself is protected by copyright laws.
Price includes: Photo announcement
design and Certificate of Copyright Permission. Your keepsake
and certificate will be e-mailed to you as a JPEG file and will
be ready for printing. Envelopes are sold separately through another
online dealer that I will provide the link for. (about $.16/ea
+ shipping).
What
a great way to get a professional photo announcement at a fraction
of the cost!
Questions
about your Design Choice:
Q.
What size are the designs?

option of ordering keepsake sizes to frame such as the 5 x 7 or
8 x 10 inch sizes for an additional $10.00. (back

Q.
How much text can fit on my card?
A.
It depends on the design you choose. Each greeting card or announcement
can accommodate different amounts of text according to the design.
It is best to take a look at the card you are considering...You
can get an idea of the amount you can fit by looking at the sample
text used in that particular design. There are certain designs
that may have images that cannot be rearranged or taken out. If
there is a lot more text that you would like on your card, please
let me know and I can try to fit most within the design by omitting
a picture, or making the font or pictures smaller. You may then
request changes to the text and/or it's placement when viewing
your proof. (back
to top)
Q.
Is there any way you can cover up facial hair, blemishes, etc?
A.
Yes, but depending on the severity of what you need covered up.
For instance, blemishes are a very easy thing to cover up, but
things like removing background or a person may take longer to
work on and your order may take a bit longer than the standard
time... The 48 hour guarantee will no longer be in effect.(back

Q.
Is there a watermark on the printed cards?
A.
Yes, we do have Made with Love by MissPicturePerfect.com printed
on the front of the card. Take a look at the watermark on the
corners of our designs. (back

only with the written permission from the photographer. They must
sign their written photo release with their own letterhead or
stationery. Unauthorized use of professional images is illegal.(back

Q.
How should I send the pictures?
A.
I only accept your digital photos in .jpeg, .tiff or bitmap format
through our upload tool which is coming soon or through email
as an attachment. Please do not crop or edit your pictures yourself.
I prefer to work with photos in their ORIGINAL state. Don't even
shrink them down to make them more email friendly. If you're concerned
with the file size of your email, you can send one picture at
a time depending on what your email allows.You will always receive
an email within 24 hours letting you know that I received your
pictures successfully, but if you do not hear back from me after
two days from when you sent the photos, most likely your the email
didn't get through. Send me another email with your photos if
this happens.(back to top)
Q.

design that has black and white photos?
A.
No, I will convert all the pictures you send to black and white.
Make sure you send me your original, unedited color photos.(back

Q.
Can I send my photos through an online photo sharing site like
Yahoo photo albums, MSN photo album, etc?
A.
I recommend sending your photos through our uploading tool or
as attachments from your email program. If you choose an online
photo sharing site to send your pictures to me, I recommend KODAK
picture sharing. The quality of your pictures in other online
photo sharing programs is not as good when they are sent through
their servers. With KODAK, the picture quality is not compromised.(back

Q.
Can you edit my pictures, fix the color/lighting?
A.
Yes, will correct the sharpness, color, contrast, lighting and
any other blemishes you want me to correct. Let me know in the
special instructions box when you order if you want things like
a mole or blemishes removed.(back
to top)
Q.
My photos are not digital, can I mail them to you?
A.
No, at this time we will not be accepting pictures through the
mail. If you have the negatives to your pictures, have your photo
developer put your negatives on CD and you can email them to us
that way.(back to top)
Q.
How do I email my pictures?
A.
Open a new message in your email to me: mariana@MissPicturePerfect.com
and there should be an ‘attachment’ button. Once you
click that a browser will open to look for files on your computer.
You look through the folder that has your first picture and ok.
Repeat the process with your other photo choices.(back

Questions
about Printing up my design:
Q.
Will I have any problems printing up my designs with other developers
because of copyright laws?
A.
I've never run across any problems printing my own, BUT in the
event that you do, we also give you another photo file with
permission to reprint this design. It will have our email and
Copyright information so that if they give you any problems,
they should grant you permission to reprint at their store.
(back
to top)
Q.
What if they cannot open up my file?
A.
If you take your file to the actual store, make sure all the
files you have on your media card/cd are all .jpeg files. Walgreen's,
especially, has problems printing up photos from a cd that has
.tiff, bitmap, and video files. Clear your cd or card of all
files that are not .jpeg files.(back

Q.
Where can I print up my file?
A.
Print up at home on your own photo printer or color printer.
You can also upload your file onto sites like snapfish.com and
order prints from them. (back

General
Questions:
Q.
Do you have a Christmas deadline?
A.
In order to receive your picture file on time, I would recommend
orders no later than Friday, December 15, 2006. The holidays
are very busy for people and especially for me because I'm in
the business of Holiday cards which are extremely popular. Keep
in mind, you will still have to send out your photos through
the mail, so I recommend an earlier order date to guarantee
on time delivery. (back to top)
Q.
What form of payment do you accept?
A.
At this time, I will only take Paypal. It's a secure payment
over the internet through paypal. You no longer need a Paypal
account to use this service. All you need is your credit card
or debit card. It's a fast, easy and secure way of paying. If
for some reason, you do not have a credit card, the only payment
we will accept will be a money order.(back
to top)
Q.
How long will it take to get my order?
A.
You will receive notification within 48 hours to view your proof
via online through a link I provide you. Depending on when you
approve the proof, I will then provide you a link within a day
where you can download your finished photo card file. You will
be receiving this file as a .jpg format. You can upload, and
print it out as any other digital photo. You can also save your
file onto a cd. (back to top)
