Check out our handy quick reference guide to submitting great order pictures when placing your iPetprints Clones order!
Use a Good Quality Camera
Make sure the camera has high enough resolution that can take photos of size 4 megapixels or larger. Upload the original size photo, do not resize.
Ensure Good Lighting
It’s best to take photos in daylight, outdoor conditions. Avoid direct sunlight. Avoid evening times and dark shadows. Ensure correct exposure, so that the photos are neither too bright nor too dark. Avoid posing the pet on brightly colored backgrounds, try white or neutral surroundings. The color of bright objects, like a red carpet, reflects on the fur of the pet giving an incorrect color in the photo and on the model. Avoid using built-in flash.
Frame Correctly
Avoid long shots. Ensure that whole of the body is framed with little background around it. This utilizes the full resolution of the picture.
Pose Correctly
Try to get the same pose in the photo in which you intend to have the model made.
Ensure Good Focus
Try to get a sharp focus, blurry photos don’t help. Use a tripod if available.
Special Markings
If your pet has unique features, like rings on the tail or different colored eyes, its best to take a close up of it, so that these features can be captured accurately in the model.
Angles
Submit at least one picture of the following: Face, Back, Left Side, Right Side, Chest/Underbelly, and Tail.
