Are you printing it yourself?

I print my own (well, I go to a store to print them).

When I choose an image it must be a high resolution (much better printing image).

Must have a large region of lighter coloring as ideally celebs will choose that area to sign so their sigs are clearer.

I always photoshop the images to make them perfect for my requirements.

The photo size will depend on who is signing it and where I'm sending it:

- overseas, I mostly send 6x4" or 7x5" photos as they fit in standard envelopes (much cheaper to post)

- if sending locally, to a not especially sought after person, I send 6x4" or 7x5" photos (cheaper to post by 50%)

- to a more desirable celeb I do a 15x20cm as it's a nice big size (though postage is twice as much

- if it's a picture that I want to frame either 15x20cm or A4 (in person photos I try for A4)
