Hello online family.  when using the buttons templates, what image size should I
be using? 3x3 for the H/W is to small. Should I adjust the image or the canvas
size?

Thank you guys in advance.

Thanks for the info.

I use Richmondprolab.com and I have been very happy with them.

Call Richard at Big Dog Promotions (256)658-4547. They can print on a variety of
materials and sizes. He just did a couple of 5x10 feet posters of senior
basketball players for one of the local high schools to hang in their gym.

Tell him HUD sent you ;)

Thanks for this link. I for one could use some educating when it comes to wide
angles. I normally shoot tight to block out distractions and get the emphasis
where I want it, but I recently bought a wide angle and I'm not really getting a
lot of use out of it. Maybe this will encourage me to try something new.

Blessings,
Patty

       Maybe a little off topic here, but has anyone else had bad

issues with Winkflash in the past couple of months?  I

placed order for 13 16x20 prints on Oct. 26, they charged my

card for the full amount of the transaction on Oct. 29 and

here it is Nov. 9 and my order status still says

"Printing".. ..even if they only print one a day, it should

have been ready before today?  Anyone else having any

Winkflash horror stories?

I also have sent emails to all their service accounts each

day for the past five days and also received no contact

back, not even a nasty email telling me what a pest I am!  I

just want some contact to know what it going on....their

phone support is nearly as bad.  I sit on hold for 30

minutes before the system hangs up on me and then will not

put me back in the wait list when I call back.  What is up

with this company?  They used to be right on top of orders

and customer service!

Sorry, I should have said it differently, using a 4 x 6 JPEG instead of photo. 
What we are offering is button templates (fully layered PSD files) and they will
work similar to our other templates.  They will have a border, color overlay and
text layers. The reason for the 4 x 6 JPEG size is that is what most asked for
but you can drag in a smaller or larger JPEG.  Just be sure that the JPEG you
drag in is at least a 1/4" larger in diameter for 3" or 3.5" buttons.  More if
creating a larger button.

The beta buttons are 3" size but the final ones will be 3.5" since that was the
size most asked for.  Users will be able to resize the buttons smaller and
larger for other size buttons.

You will be able to print out your buttons with the border and text and use a
button kit to put the final button together.  Or send the JPEG to a pro lab like
All Star Digital to create the final button.

Please let me know if any other questions,

Chris

Rob,
You print it out on to a 4x6 print and when cut you have a 3" button.

The photo for a 3.5 inch button goes on to a 4x5, or more popular size of 4x6.
You then cut it out and make your button. Or, some labs you just load your
template into the button template and the lab makes the button. For me, I sell a
button in my basic package and as add ons. I plan on buying a button maker
because it is more cost efficient. So, I would print the photo on a 4x5 or 4x6
and then cut it out.
