I want to make a memory quilt for my youngest sister's 60th birthday next year, and have asked my nephew for some photo's to use. At the moment I intend using fabric with freezer paper on the back to print them - cheaper than paying $6.95 per sheet for Printed Treasures, or buying a program e.g.Photoshop, especially if I mess some up as I have never done this before.
My nephew is happy to scan and send me some, and this is part of the reply I received from him:
"I can scan the photos and e-mail them to you (your gmail a/c can handle large attachments). In what resolution and file type would you prefer the images to be sent?"
Whilst not being completely computer illiterate, this has me flummoxed. I imagine quite a few of you print photo's onto fabric, so I hope you can help me.
My gmail a/c can handle large files, so that is no problem, But what resolution and file type does he need to send them to me in? Is there something I need to use to 'set' the photo's before adding them to the quilt?
Any help would be most gratefully accepted.
Thanks.
