Prepare portraits, logos and text files for crystal engraving without losing important details during cropping and conversion. Use the Crystal Night Lightscollection as a starting point, then establish the exact model and requested changes before quotation.
Decisions to make before requesting a quote
| Decision | What to define |
|---|---|
| Image quality | Use the original camera file or highest-resolution export available. |
| Crop | Mark the required subject, background removal preference and safe space around faces or objects. |
| Text | Provide names, dates and messages as editable text with exact punctuation. |
| Multiple versions | Number each image and connect it to quantity, text and crystal shape in one list. |
Protect the features that make the image recognizable
Faces, hands, product outlines and small logo elements can be lost when a low-resolution image is enlarged or a busy background is removed. Explain what must be preserved and what may be simplified before the operator prepares the engraving file.
Control personalized orders with a single data source
For several names or portraits, use one spreadsheet or numbered list. The file name, exact text, quantity and crystal format should match one row. This reduces the risk of pairing the correct image with the wrong message.
Information to include in the brief
- Original image file and a marked reference crop
- Exact names, dates and message text
- Required background removal or retention
- Crystal shape and main viewing side
- Numbered personalization list for multi-design orders
Keep the approved product, artwork, power arrangement, accessories and packaging in one version-controlled brief. If a requested change affects dimensions, tooling, electronics, materials or performance, treat it as an engineering review rather than assuming it belongs to the standard model for the crystal photo file preparation guide decision path.
