Hints & Tips

Image Size

  • If possible view your image at the correct size. This will give you the fairest impression of how it will turn out.
  • Here are our template sizes:
    • Tote: 41cm x 41 cm
    • Small Tote: 31cm x 31cm
    • Small Cushion 31cm x 31cm
    • Large Cushion 44cm x 44 cm
    • Apron 68cm x 95cm
    • Satchel 47cm x 41cm
    • Washbags 27cm x 19cm           < Go Back

Cropping

Try to give your subject enough space to allow us to present you with some alternative treatments. If you edit the image to tightly, it can sometimes distort your impression of the final product.

  • For example: the cushion will curve around the shape of the fill, so a big close-up of a face can appear distorted         < Go Back

Size

Be careful not to ask that your subject be enlarged too much:

  • It can lead to problems with image quality
  • It can lead to surprises of scale, such as the printed item being larger than the person. This is particularly risky in the case of small children.                                                      < Go Back

Editing Images

If you want to add a tint (eg: sepia) to your image or you would like to add some type, please leave that process up to the Rosablue staff and note your requirements in an email. There is no extra charge and we will be more confident about the end result.

If you do want to edit your images prior to submitting them, we cannot guarantee how they will print and as a result, we do not extend any guarantees.                               < Go Back

Image files

Edit your image in whatever format suits you but before you submit it to us please SAVE IT AS A JPEG. Most photo editing suites offer this option. You will find it under the "File" menu. This will ensure that we can process the image file and that you have an accurate impression of its size.

PLEASE DO NOT:

  • Submit files in BMP, TIFF, or GIF formats. These are all more likely to indicate a large file size but will perform poorly.
  • Submit files embedded in MS Word Documents. We are likely to delete these from our servers or take longer to process them
