Why
is a design fee charged for the removal of images from the original
photographs?
|
|
It
is very time-consuming to remove images from the original photos.
This work is done by a graphic designer, and each image removed
may take up to 1/2 hour of time, depending on the number of people
in the original photo. We have done everything possible to keep
this fee as low as possible, to keep the overall cost affordable
for everyone.

How
can I get the best value for my money when ordering Composite Magic
Photos?
|
|
Since
a small graphic design fee is charged for each person removed from
the ORIGINAL photo(s), ordering the same image on several different
backgrounds (to a limit of 4 backgrounds), will give you the best
value for your money. You don't pay extra to have different backgrounds;
only for the removal of the original image. You'll be amazed at
how one original photo placed in many different
photo background locations will look completely different! See

w hat sizes are the photos available?
|
|
2"

|
| Can
clothing be changed (i.e., color of existing clothing or new clothing
substituted?) |
No,
our service is limited to moving images from one photo into a new
photo background. Although we can eliminate things like numbers, and
ID tags.
|
If
a photo was originally taken indoors, can we choose an outdoor background?
|
|
Yes.
We can lighten and darken the original image (to a point), but ideally
indoor photos should be placed on indoor backgrounds, and outdoor
images will work best placed on outdoor backgrounds. The exception
is if an outdoor photo was taken on an overcast day. Then it will
work very well placed on an indoor background. Also if you have
an indoor photo that you would like to place on a darker outdoor
background (one with shadows and not a lot of sunlight), that will
also work well.
When
selecting your new background, please keep in mind:
Although
we are able to lighten and darken images from original photos to
match that of the new background where the image will be placed,
here are some tips that will make your photos come out closest to
being originals.
- Original
photos taken indoors work best when placed on indoor backgrounds
- Outdoor
photos may be placed in indoor backgrounds if the original photos
are slightly darker...works best when using a photo taken on an
overcast day. If image is too bright (from a very sunny day),
it may not look real when placing them indoors
- When
selecting an outdoor location, make sure your indoor photo is
not too dark. Again too much darkness placed on a sunny backdrop
will make the photo seem unbelievable
- Full
body images are needed to work with (head to toe) ... we don't
you to choose a new photo background requiring your feet to be
standing on the ground, and your original photo was cut off below
the knees!
- Any
questions at all, just email
us or write for more information! We're here to help!

Is
it better if I provide you with a photo of us sitting or standing?
|
|
When
choosing a new photo background, try and choose a photo location
that would fit in with your original pose. If you are seated in
your original photo, choose a photo background with a place suitable
for seating. Currently, there are only three photo backgrounds that
will work with seated photos, Hawaiian
Sunset, Terrace in
Acapulco, St. Croix
Lake. All other photos will work best when individuals are standing
in the original photos.
