<p>i'm new to the the business side of photography, but i want to start selling prints to my clients. in order to do that i need some sort of online proofing website. like i said, im new at the business aspect of this, so my budget isn't great and i dont really want a long term subscription, but rather something i can go month to month. i dont have a website, only a blog at this point. anyways, in order to sell prints to my clients (that don't want to pay for digital images) i need a place to show them their proofs and preferrably where they can purchase the prints as well. looking for suggestions please!!!!<br>
thank you so much for your time and suggestions.<br>

I'm not sure. I sent it in as a 2592 x 3888 file. I didn't do any resizing of it from being straight out of the camera. </p>

<p>So, I usually order my prints through mpix and as I am more of a beginner photographer I ordered a sheet of 4 wallets die-cut to see how they turned out. Well, I didn't realize how much of the actual photo is cut off. One picture I have that I'm sure they will order has really no room for anything to be cropped off (the first letter of the last name on the letter jacket is very close to touching the bottom of the photograph - it wouldn't look right not having the whole name as that was kind of the point of the pic). Has anyone encountered this problem with one of your photos? Is there a fix to this, like adding a frame around it or something? PLEASE HELP!<br /> <br />Thank you ALL for your help<br /> Tim</p>

<p>Luc or Wes-<br>
I have another question. I ordered a sheet of four wallets, die cut and didn't realize how much of the actual photo is cut off. I have a picture that I don't really have room for anything to be cut off (the first letter of the last name on the letter jacket is very close to touching the bottom of the photograph). Have either of you encountered this problem with one of your photos? Is there a fix to this, like adding a frame around it or something?<br>
<br />Thank you, once again for all your help.<br>

<p>Thanks Luc and Wes. So what does "die-cut" actually refer to, rounded corners? I use Mpix but I can't seem to find where to select rounded corners.<br>
<br />Thanks much!<br>

<p>I'm doing my first senior picture shoot and will need to print images for this person. I remember back when I was in high school and had my senior pictures done and the wallet sizes (the ones you pass out to all your friends) came on somewhat of thicker printing paper than the normal 4x6 print would come on. The wallet pictures also had the rounded corners.<br>
Anyways, I'm looking for an online company that some of you may have used that does nice quality at reasonable prices for senior picture wallet formats as I described above. Any help is MUCH appreciated!<br>

<p>Here it is at f/5.6 1/10sec. I am nearing the end of the road and need to get these pictures turned over. Any last ditch efforts I can do to these pictures. I hope I can get them done by the end of the week. Thanks again for all your time and help with this.<br>

<p>This picture I shot the same as my 3:12 pm 4/9 post except I added a light above to give highlights to the top of the door.<br>
-
<p>This is pic was shot by just changing the angles of the lights. I moved both lights closer to the door, making a sharper angle. With this there it makes the top and bottom routes that we've been talking about look uneven.<br>
-
-
<p>Ok, this is what I have. Now I think I have shadows on both the top and bottom of the raised panel and in some ways the top route appears raised. I was able to fix the sides a bit to make the shadowing more even because some of my pictures were showing alot of shadow on the left and no shadowing on the right making it hare to see the raised panel edge. Here is my latest with just 2 lights on each side shot at f/5.6 1/20sec. If I don't hear from you guys before the end of the day have a good weekend.</p>
-
<p>What do you think of this one? <br>
-
<p>Here is the latest with a light about 20" right above and below and the same lighting on each side just above the halfway point of the door. f/5.6 1/25 sec and then turned into a black and white image with a littl bit of adjusting to the fill light to whiten it a bit more so it didn't appear as gray. What do you think?<br>
-
<p>I see what you mean about switching to grayscale and the door becoming more flat. Not only the finish seems flat but the door seems more flat, meaning not showing the depth of the raised panels as much. Is there anything I can do by keeping this grayscale and still showing some depth?</p>
-
<p>This is a different door, but how is this?<br>
-
<p>Here is one that I played with the fill light and shadowing on. What do you think?<br>
-
That what I got. I may need to do some contrasting, what do you think? I cant really move the lights back and hit the door with the same angle due to the room size I'm shooting in. Any other suggestions. Thanks again for all your help.</p>

<p>Well, I don't really need to show the glossy finish. What I'm more concerned about is having an fairly even amount of shadowing that will show most of the different routes on the door.</p>
-
<p>There is a gloss finish on the door.</p>
-
<p>The top is also a bit darker then the rest</p>
