~Printed photos should be at least 4 x 6 inches. Photos do not need to be matted, but should be protected within a sturdy folder or envelop to prevent damage.
~Digital photos must be .jpg file format with a resolution suitable for print format. Usually this requires 300 dpi (dots per inch) with a height and width of 4x 6 inches. However a lower dpi (many cameras default at 72 dpi) will work if the image size is large enough.
