Just be sure to let us know what you are looking for in the comments box. If your requests are beyond the scope of basic retouching, we'll contact you for approval of the design fee before we proceed.

How do I use the Online Preview Tool?

It's easy to personalize any card. And our Online Preview Tool renders accurate previews so that you can see just how your card will look. Just keep the following points in mind when using the tool:

  • 1. To edit the text, simply click on any text area in Step 1.
  • 2. Double-check the placement of all photos and spelling of all text on your card.
  • 3. Text won't fit right? Not to worry! Just leave us a note in Step 2.
  • 4. Noticed a mistake in Step 2? Not to worry! Just leave us a note in Step 2.
  • 5. For help click the links at the top of the Online Preview window.

The Online Preview Tool is intended for broadband Internet connections and requires no software downloads. If you experience any technical issues, please feel free to contact us.

Why are your photo cards different?

We're a custom photo lab and have decades of combined experience in proper photo retouching, finishing, printing, and most important - COLOR!

You'll love our quality, but you'll also appreciate our very reasonable prices. At PhotoAffections we believe in being completely transparent. That's why you'll find no hidden charges – like the charges many other sites assess for additional photos on a card. And we guarantee everything we do.

How do I place a reorder?

We keep your finished card on file 60 days from when the order was placed. To place your reorder:

  • Step 1. Click here to log into your account.
  • Step 2. Click My Orders.
  • Step 3. Click the Reorder button and follow the remaining steps.
  • Step 4. We'll print and ship your re-order within 2 business days. Reorders placed after 5 PM Pacific time require an additional day to process.

How do you protect my credit card information when ordering?

Good question! When you place an order at PhotoAffections.com, the sensitive data you transmit is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology. This technology creates a secure connection between you and our server; as a result, your information will not be captured by those who may wish to spy on you.

Furthermore, PhotoAffections.com uses our own 256-bit SSL Certificate provided to us by Verisign. This is important to note because some companies use a "shared SSL certificate" which is shared by other users and hosted on a different server. When you make a purchase with us, you'll notice that the URL always begins with our domain name, and you never leave our site.

What do you mean by "Free Touch Ups?"

A member of our design staff checks every single order we receive, fixing your photos whenever necessary by adjusting brightness and contrast and other attributes. If you have any special requests, you can leave us your comment in the course of placing your order.

Please note, that extensive editing, (i.e., removing/moving people, removing large objects, eliminating or changing backgrounds) is beyond the scope of our services.

How quickly will my cards be printed and shipped?

Once your order is placed, your custom cards will be printed and shipped within 2 business days. For more details please see our full shipping schedule.

Do you have a Christmas deadline?

For timely production and delivery we suggest ordering Photo Christmas Cards by December 10th. For orders placed after this date we recommend expedited or overnight shipping.

Can I order less than the stated minimum order?

We're sorry, but we have to adhere to the minimum order quantity of 15 for invitations and 25 for all other cards.

How much text can I fit on my card?

This varies; each greeting card or announcement can accommodate different amounts of text according to the design. When you're considering a card, look at the sample text used in that particular card. As you'll see in several designs, you can place text on top of your image, but this may also be limited depending on your photo. For instance, if there's a lot of sky or water, inserting text shouldn't be a problem.

I would like to crop or edit my picture; what do I do?

You can freely crop, zoom and rotate your images in our completely "live" environment. These edits are automatically saved as part of your order.

It's very important that all the digital images you use be at the highest resolution possible so that cropping produces good results.

Do your greeting cards require extra postage?

Our 5 x 7 products do not require any extra postage. Our 5.25 x 5.25 square designs, however, do require additional postage due to USPS regulations when you use a square envelope. Alternatively, we offer a rectangular envelope with a fitted pocket for square cards at no additional charge. Choose this option when placing your order to avoid additional postage prices. If you decide to use square envelopes please be sure to check with your local post office or visit usps.com for current postage rates to mail square envelopes.

Can I place an order by phone?

At this time we are unable to accept orders by phone.

Can I use professional images for my cards?

You're welcome to use photos taken by professional photographers on your card. However, if the photo is copyright protected, we must receive permission from the photographer to print. Please email the copyright release to our customer care center as an attachment. Our email address can be found in your order confirmation message.
