Collage Options:
1. Print Sizes: Currently we offer seven print sizes for you to choose from. Each is a standard photo print size and can be easily mounted in just about any standard corresponding frame size.
A. 11x14 (3 – 12 Photos suggested)
B. 16x20 (10 – 17 Photos suggested)

2. Number of Photos: You may choose to use as many photos as you like in the creation of your collage. When placing an order we have a suggested number of photos that fit well on each print size without causing the print to become too “Crowded”. Currently the choice list for photos ranges from 3 – 60. If you require the use of more than 60 photos in your collage, please use the Contact Us page to make special arrangements.
3. Photo Paper Finish: We offer three different Photo Paper Finishes to have your collage printed on.
A. Lustre: - Our standard print. Coated paper with a low-gloss finish. Colors often appear softer and text can be easier to read on the Lustre finish.
B. Metallic: - Ideal for portraits like sports, special events, youth, wedding mementos. This paper uses a combination of film laminate layers that produce striking, three-dimensional, lasting images on an ultra-bright background. Many photographers have described this effect as “chrome on paper.”
C. Canvas: - The prefect way to turn your collage into a stunning piece of photo art. Perfect for wedding and memorial collages. If you want to bring a tear to someone's eye or "WOW" someone with a gift, this is it.
4. Special Effects: We offer several “Special Effects” that can be used in the creation of your collage.
A. Polaroid Frames: - We can add Polaroid Frames around some of your photos to combine the look of a scrapbook with our digitally blended collage to create a truly unique masterpiece. Sample
B. Cut-out’s and Enlargements: - We can “Cut Out” part of a photo and “Blow It Up”. This feature is perfect for an outdoorsman that likes to embellish and brag about their trophies. Sample
C. Brushstroke Finish: - We can turn any print into a work of art. We can add a brushstroke finish to give your collage the appearance of an authentic oil painting. Sample
D. Text Banners and Captions: - We can add any type of text to your collage to describe or highlight the special occasion, vacation, memorial, or theme of the collage. Sample
5. Frame and Mat Options: We offer the option to have your collage professionally mounted and framed with or without a mat border.
