How to take high-definition photos suitable for printing?5 tips easy to deal with (photo blanket, pillow printing must see)
Whether you want to print your precious memories on a photo blanket, make your favorite pet's cute photos into a pet pillow, or incorporate creative designs into a human-shaped pillow, high-definition photos are the soul of the perfect finished product! But blurry, off-color, and under-pixeled photos often ruin the customized results.
Don't worry! Just master the following 5 core skills, even with a cell phone can also take high-definition photos of the printing level, so that your photo pillow printing, human pillow printing and other customized products full of details, texture pull full!
First, skill 1: light is the “lifeline” of high-definition photos
Applicable scene: all customized printing products (photo blankets, pillows, pets around)
Natural light is king:
Shoot in soft natural light (e.g. cloudy days or early morning/dusk) to avoid overexposure or shadows caused by midday glare.
Pet Pillow Printing: When photographing pets, have the TA face the window for a more dynamic eye light.
Human pillow printing: full body photos need to be even light, avoid face or body partial darkness.
Make-up light magic tool:
If there is not enough light, use a reflector (or white paper) to fill in the light, or turn on your cell phone's “professional mode” to adjust the exposure value (EV+0.7~1.3).
Example of error:
Overexposed photos
Strong light leads to the loss of details, and the blanket pattern is white after printing.
Tip 2: Resolution determines printing clarity
Key parameters:
Photo blanket printing: resolution ≥ 300dpi, size is recommended ≥ 4000 × 5000 pixels (large-size blankets need higher precision).
Pillow printing: ≥150dpi, size ≥2000×2000 pixels (avoid stretching blur).
How to reach the standard for cell phone shooting?
Turn off “Smart Compression”: Go to camera settings and select “Save as Raw” (e.g. HEIF/RAW).
Zoom in: Avoid the loss of pixels due to post-cropping, and try to fill the frame as much as possible when shooting.
Correct demonstration:
High-resolution pet photos
Hair texture is clear, suitable for pet pillow printing.
III. Tip 3: Clean background and prominent subject
Why is it important?
Cluttered background will interfere with the printing effect, especially human-shaped pillow printing needs a complete outline.
Solution:
Solid color background: use white walls and solid color sheets as the background, and use APP (such as PhotoRoom) to key in the picture with one click later.
Low angle shooting: squat down when shooting pets, flush with TA's line of sight, to highlight the expression and fur details.
Leave the edges: leave 10% white around the subject to avoid the pattern being cropped when printing (e.g. at the stitching line on the edge of the pillow).
Fourth, tip 4: color reproduction is the soul of printing
Pain point:
Cell phone screen display vs printed product color difference, resulting in photo blankets yellowish or pillow pattern gray.
Tips: turn off filters and beauty: original mode shooting, avoid excessive color mixing (can contact the designer to optimize before printing).
Calibrate white balance: focus on pure white objects (such as A4 paper), lock the white balance to avoid interference from ambient light.
Avoid dark background: dark photos printed on light-colored fabrics (such as white pillows) is easy to show gray, it is recommended that the background brightness ≥ 50%.
V. Tip 5: details determine the texture
The focus of the shooting of different products:
Photo blanket printing:
Distant landscape: make sure the horizon is straight, avoid lens distortion.
Portrait close-up: focus on the eyes, hair is clearly visible (use cell phone portrait mode to defocus the background).
Pet Cuddle Printing:
Capture dynamics: Capture moments of running and jumping with continuous shooting mode to add vividness.
Hair details: Shine the light to avoid backlighting, resulting in “black shadows” of the hair.
Humanoid pillow printing:
Full-body photo: feet to the top of the head into the camera, natural posture (to avoid arm cut edges).
Clothing texture: close-up shots of clothing patterns or accessories, highlighting the sense of design.
Detail comparison:
Blurry vs.
The left picture is fuzzy and can't be printed, the right picture can be perfectly restored in high definition.
