A photo gift is worth a thousand words. . .

Personalized Photo Gifts

We invite you to consider the option of creating a custom photo gift for your next special occasion. No other type of gift communicates as thoughtfully or with as much style as a personalized gift. Adding a photo option only guarantees that your gift will be treasured even more. If you would like to give the gift that will most likely be passed on through the generations, choose to personalize a photo gift.

Our Software and Hardware For Creating Photo Gifts

At Lasered Engrave Detail, we use a photo software application that was developed by Universal Laser Inc. specifically for their laser platform. While many laser engraving and laser etching companies rely on inconsistent techniques to adjust photo settings in graphic design programs, 1 Touch Photo was designed specifically around laser applications for photographs on every type of material. The program interfaces with the laser driver and a wide variety of machine presets for materials. For you, this means that we can reproduce your photos on many materials in clean, crisp, and beautifully detailed engravings. For more information about the competitive advantages our software brings to your project, read here about Universal Laser’s 1 Touch Laser Photo program.

Special Considerations for Custom Photo Gifts

Many people think that a photograph from a Facebook page or other social media website is appropriate to use to create a photo gift. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Photographs that have been downloaded from most of these sites undergo re-sampling when you download them. High resolution photos in electronic format are the best photos to choose from when planning a personalized photo gift. It is also important that the photo in question have a good balance between light, medium, and darker shading so that the photo will not appear “flat” once it has been engraved. The designated formats for our photo engraving process are as follows:

BMP
JPEG
PNG
TIFF
