2. Can any image be a Wall Pilot? Computer screen resolution and printer resolutions can vary.
Computers use ppi (pixels per inch) to measure clarity of text or images while printers utilize dpi (dots per inch) to print.
Certain characteristics of the print material may contribute to some variations in the appearance of your Wall Pilot compared to your computer screen. 3. Will my Custom Wall Pilot look just like it does on the computer screen (except larger and fully die cut)? Very close. Computer screen resolution and printer resolutions are different. Computers use ppi (pixels per inch) to display text or images while printers utilize dpi (dots per inch) to print. However, we do process your images through our systems before printing to color match. Characteristics of the print material (matte, satin, gloss, etc.) will also affect the appearance of an image. 4. What should I keep in mind when shooting or selecting my photo? The subject in your photo, at a minimum, should encompass 50% of the entire image. If the image does not meet this requirement the quality when enlarged will appear pixelated and blurry. You should also follow the guidelines set below for resolution requirements. 5. How should I configure my camera to get the best picture for my Wall Pilot? We recommend using a camera that is at least 4MP (megapixels) or greater. The more megapixel's your camera has, the better the image.
Set your camera for the highest resolution. This is usually done under the "settings" of the menu section of your camera. If in doubt, you can always consult your manual. Be sure to use the highest possilbe setting, as it gives us more data to stretch your image into a Wall Pilot.
Try to avoid taking your photo using the "zoom" function. The closer you get to the subject without using zoom, the better. When you use the zoom feature, the image loses data.
We request a file size of 2048x1536 pixels. If you have some experience with cameras, you should know how to verify this. If not, don't worry about it. Your file size should be just fine if you've followed steps 1-3.
Do not change the resolution of your photo. Please send us the original file.
If possible, take your photo vertically and try not to cut off any part of the subject, like feet or arms. 6. What file formats do you accept? Our designers can work with any of the following file formats:
• .jpg • .tiff • .psd • RAW
***We require a minimum 300 dpi for any images that are to be reproduced larger than 48". All other images will require a minimum of 72dpi. Remember – the output quality is only as good as the input quality of the image. 7. What if the image I would like to use is on film? If you do not have a digital file of your favorite photo, no problem. Send us your original photo or image and we will scan and produce your graphic for you. Your original image will be returned to you in a rolled tube along with your Wall Pilot. 8. What if my digital camera is less than 4 MP or I don't have one? Welcome to WallPilot.com.
