Digital Backgrounds

Oh well, stick a small portrait image onto a large landscape product it is then lol. I'll keep looking for a magical way to get these images to fill the space!

My work phoenixalpha?

There os nothing wrong with photo with white background printed n white blank. If photo is high resolution this can look nice and clean.

Hear what you're saying Paul, it's just this particular image has squared off edges and doesn't lend itself to landscape products unless I zoom in.

Sometimes to fill the space i use quotes. Looks great with kids photos. I rekember my friend wanted horizontal printed slate with photo tyat was good quality but not to good for this slate. I added quote and empty space was filled.

Meant the style is similar to high key, Paul.

Could be an option Paul, there has to be something better than just plonking the image in the centre Second use of the word plonking today!

[Paul]

Put this pic righ to the side so.squere sides are right to the side. And use empty space to put some.nice wording that fit the person or image...
here is little example of my work with quotes:

These are lovely Paul (and I will be coming to you when I start a different line of work soon!) but the instruction I'm getting is just to print the image with nothing else next to it....I may have to find a suitable compromise though.

[Paul]

Is school/company/photographer logo can be included???

[Justin]

Would be a great idea to add logos Paul but not possible I don't think

Although I have nothing against backgrounds I would have some concerns that have been raised.

Firstly IANM is right in that getting these images to look spot on will require quite a bit of PS skill. I have visions of someone coming in with a picture from an iPhone and saying I want it to look like that one you have of a magazine front cover, and as you already mentioned, to make it look spot on could easily take an hour of friggin around. Who will pay the £200.00 per hour you charge LOL!!!

That said, at US$50.00 for the larger libarary, its not really much money for the options it adds.

I say go for it, then if you find you do not use them I will give you US$10 for the used CD
