Tips & Warnings

• If you are using Photoshop, save the image as a .jpg or .gif. Photoshop always saves as a PSD file first which cannot be uploaded to a website.

• Always use the original file if you have access to it.

• If using the original file, make a copy of it before changing it. If you make a mistake, then the original image will be spared.
