Prepare photos and graphics for illuminated frames by controlling crop, contrast, translucency, text and safe margins. Use the Light-Up Frames & Photo Lightscollection as a starting point, then verify the exact model and requested changes before quotation.
Decisions to make before requesting a quote
| Decision | What to define |
|---|---|
| Crop | Mark the required subject and allow for the frame edge or mask. |
| Contrast | Check dark and light regions under illumination, not only on an opaque screen. |
| Text | Keep captions away from the edge and use sufficient weight for the final size. |
| Color | Review printed or translucent color against the actual light source. |
Illumination changes the image
Backlight can reveal low-resolution areas, make pale backgrounds brighter and reduce subtle text contrast. Edge lighting may emphasize engraved lines more than continuous-tone photographs. Prepare the file for the selected construction rather than applying one generic photo treatment.
Use an approval file that includes the frame boundary
The proof should show outer size, visible opening, image crop, text and orientation. If several photographs share one frame design, define one crop rule and identify exceptions instead of approving unrelated screenshots.
Information to include in the brief
- Original high-resolution photo or artwork
- Visible-opening dimensions and crop marks
- Text supplied separately with exact spelling
- Color or monochrome treatment preference
- Full-size proof with frame boundary
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 check rather than assuming it belongs to the standard model within photo preparation for light-up frames planning.
