What is a Photomontage?
A photomontage is a composite of photo images and graphic artwork smoothly blended together to create a unique, custom work of art. Photomontages are designed with visual layout, photo manipulation, image editing and composite design techniques. The images and graphics used in a photomontage can be digital camera files or high quality scans.

How much does a Photomontage cost?
Pricing is based on a maximum of 6 images in the photomontage.
The first print price is based on the largest print. For example, if you order one 8x10" print and one 11x14" print, the price is $225 ($175 + $50). Prices do not include CA sales tax and shipping.

Print Size First Print
8x10" glossy print $150.00
11x14" print (matte or glossy) $175.00

How long does it take to create a photomontage?
It takes approximately 4-7 days to design your photomontage from the time we recieve your image files. After completion, you will be sent a preview image of the design and after receiving your approval via e-mail, the photo is printed. Depending on your location in the United States, it can take 5-10 days to print your photo and mail it to you. The total time can be 2-5 weeks.

Will I see the photomontage before you mail it to me?
Yes, you will receive an e-mail with a sample, low-resolution photomontage image for your approval. You will then e-mail us back with any suggestions or changes. If revisions are needed, we will update the photomontage and send you a new preview for approval.

How many photos do I send?
Only 5 or 6 photos will be used in the photomontage. Using more photos complicates the design and makes it too busy. If you're unsure which photos you want to use, send 10 and the designer will determine which ones blend best. Please list the photos in order of importance and specify which photos 'must' be in the photomontage.

What size and format should the photos be?
High resolution image files with good focus are needed for a quality photomontage. Photo taken with a 3 megapixel (or higher) digital camera or prints scanned at 300dpi are highly recommended. The photos should be in JPEG format. If you are unsure of the quality of your photos, email a few to us and we will evaluate them.
