  5. Touch the PAPERCLIP ICON (This attaches your photo as an ‘actual size’ file)

    NOTE: With some email apps, when you select the other icon, ‘picture’, it often embeds it as a small size file, as a large picture you see within your email. We may not be able to print your photo. Be sure to use the PAPERCLIP ICON.

  6. Select the photo of your choice from Gallery (or other photo storage area) and touch ATTACH. (Gallery’s icon is a red square with a white flower and used by any Android phone with Google apps.)

HOW TO TAKE A PHOTO OF A PHOTO

  1. Get it ready...take the photo out of the frame or album sleeve

  2. Flatten it as much as possible

  3. Lay it flat – either on a table or post it to the wall

  4. Phone must be parallel to photo (important

  5. Light the picture... no shadows! Natural light is best.

  6. Don't have a lamp shine directly on the photo or use your camera's flash. Both will leave a bright spot on the photo you take.

  7. Get as close as possible so that your photograph fills the screen. Avoid standing back and zooming in. Make sure the photo isn't blurry.

  8. Support your camera, or use a tripod.

  9. Use your phone's volume button to snap your pic if you need to keep both hands on your phone.

Edit tips:
  1. Crop – leave only the actual photo

  2. Adjust lighting and exposure if necessary
