Most photographs are rectangular in the horizontal plane. Now, think about a plate. We want the photo to cover the whole plate surface, so when we edit your photo, we will crop a square from your photo and then round the edges. Keep this in mind.
If you are too close to the subject of your picture, the plate could have white "gaps" on the top and bottom. If we move in close enough to eliminate the gaps we will lose a lot of detail and information from the photo.
When you take your picture, keep in mind the "square" that will be used for the plate.
In the future we will be able to scan older, non-digital photos to make them into plates. The same thing applies, however. Moving in close enough to eliminate the top and bottom gaps could lose a lot of detail from the picture.
If you have any questions about this issue, talk to us.
