Check out Lifephoto’s FAQs to ensure photo quality

Personally, I never read instructions. I simply jump in and start “doing.” Sometimes I need to go back and find out if I’m doing it correctly. That’s why I recommend you review the FAQs on the Lifephoto site before you upload your photos. Only takes a minute, but will help you get better quality photo reproduction for your photo gifts. You’ll find the FAQs and other good information about Lifephoto by clicking “ABOUT” at the bottom of any page.Lifephoto.com FAQs on photo uploading

.JPG and DPI Matter

  • Be sure your photos are saved in the .jpg format before uploading.
  • Use 300 DPI for images smaller than 12″x12″.
  • 150 DPI for images larger than 12 × 12″ with an sRGB color profile.
  • Try to upload your photos in the order in which you think you will use them– if including them in a photo book, journal, calendar or day planner. You can always rearrange them later, but it’s faster if they are already in the order you’d like.

Mom of Twins Makes and Reviews Lifephoto’s Day Planner

Cindy’s a very busy mom. With two sets of young twins, she’s got dozens of appointments every month — doctors, soccer, golf lessons, family activities, birthday parties, swim lessons, rummage sales, school-year events, summer outings. The list goes on and on. She felt she needed an organizer to help her keep all her commitments straight. Cindy made a day planner on lifephoto.com — and she’s very happy with the results.

Lifephoto Day Planner

8-1/2″ x 11″ Daily Planner with 54 Photos

Cindy, her dad and her husband all take tons of family photos, so she had no problem gathering enough pictures to include.  Lifephoto daily planner pageShe began her planner with the month of June — using the school year cycle helps her organize her life around the kids’ schedule.

I was able to add my own birth dates, special appointments, things I needed to remember to do.I was able to make my pictures full paged, or if I wanted portrait style, and add words, I could have it that way too. I was also able to arrange them as I wanted which was a huge bonus for me because I wanted certain pictures on certain weeks of the year.

I have to say I was extremely happy with the whole process of making this planner! I could not believe how easy it was!! Thanks Lifephoto.com for a fantastic product!!
