Q: I got an error message saying my email address already exists in the ImaginationPhoto.us. What do I do now?
A: This error message means that a free Imagination Photo account has already been created with your email address. (This can happen for many reasons - sometimes someone forgets which email address they signed up with; sometimes another customer with a similar email address has mistyped their own address!) If you get this message, then you can continue to sign up, but you must use a different email address. Or you can go to the sign-in page and use the ’forgot password’ feature to re-gain access to your account.
Q: What resolution should my photos be at?
A: If you use a good quality digital camera or scanner at a high resolution and with minimal compression, you will be very happy with the results. The term Resolution relates to the number of pixels. In order to produce a satisfactory photographic print, your Digital Photo should have a resolution of at least 400 x 600 in its original size for a satisfactory 4 x 6 photo.
• 640 x 480 - Absolute minimum resolution for 4x6(results will vary)
• 1024 x 768 - Minimum recommended resolution for 4x6
• 1152 x 864 - Minimum recommended resolution for 5x7
• 1600 x 1200 - Minimum recommended resolution for 8x10 or larger
Q: Can I use scanned images?
A: Yes, but avoid a high resolution as the result large file will take a long time to transmit using a modem and will occupy a lot of hard disk space on your PC. A good habit is to try to use a file with a resolution between 600 x 800 and 768 x 1024. This is a reasonable compromise between quality, disk space and modem transmission time.
Q: How many images can I upload at once?
A: 1 - 10 photos each time or use our quick uploading system.
Q: How many photos can I put in each of My Album?
A: There is no limit. However, if you have to many images in one album, it takes more time to download the images. We recommend up to 50 images per album.
