Q. What sizes are available?
A. Photo cutouts and popouts are available in 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10" sizes. Photo ornaments and magnets are about 4 or 6 inches (depending on which size is ordered) wide or tall, not counting the ribbon. Click here for a discussion of sizes and what they mean.
Q. Do you make LIFE size cutouts?
A. I am not set up to make Lifesize cutouts, but YOU can make them for about $10 - 15 for materials. See Life size cutouts YOU can make.
Q. How many people can be in a cutout?
A. It doesn't really matter. A cutout can be of one person or a whole team. The price is the same.
Q. What is a POPout?
A. Unlike a cutout where the background is discarded, a POPout uses the background as, well, background. The subject is made into a cutout and mounted to the background so the subject "POPs out".
Q. When would I want a POPout instead of a CUTout?
A. When the background is an important part of the photo. Suppose you have a great picture of someone standing in front of the Grand Canyon: You sure don't want to remove a view like that, so we make a cutout of the person and glue it to the photo of the Grand Canyon which is mounted on acrylic or Oak. Now we have a POPout because the person "pops" out from the background. They are great for that "Mountain-top Experience"
Q. How do I send my photo to you?
A. To send via Internet. To send the old
fashion way.
Q. How can I know if my photo will "work" for a cutout?
A. Just send it to me and I'll be happy to give my opinion. Sometimes even
a fax copy is enough for a preliminary judgment, but uploading it is better.
My fax is 815-927-0215
Q. If I order an oak cutout, is just the base oak?
A. No, the base and the sculpture are both made of oak.
Q. How do I decide if I want oak or acrylic?
A. I think it depends on what type of room in which it will be displayed. A modern office is where I would put the acrylic, and in a home with antiques I would put the oak. It's just a matter of personal taste and you CAN'T go wrong.
Q. What if the people (or pets) in my picture have redeye?
A. I will remove redeye, most scratches, and even most distractions from the image before printing. I might even be able to remove an ex-husband from the picture! See also Photo Tips.
Q. How much is the shipping charge?
A. FREE (USA only)
Q. What are the cutouts made of?
A. Your choice of either Oak or Acrylic plastic.
Q. Is there a difference between a photo cutout and a photo sculpture?
A. Nope.
Q. Is the acrylic that lightweight foam stuff?
A. No way! It's solid and heavy much like glass.
Q. I have seen photo cutouts where the sculpture is pushed into a slot that runs across the base. Are yours like that?
A. No. My acrylic sculptures are actually chemically welded to the solid acrylic base. My oak cutouts also have a solid oak base with the sculpture glued in place.
Q. Can I buy a cutout WITHOUT the base so I can hang it on the wall?
A. You bet! See wall-mount cutouts and POPouts here
Q. What form of payment do you accept?
A. You may pay with a credit/debit card, or send a check (a check will delay
your order) (Just follow the links on the order page - you will be asked
to choose a payment method)
Q. How long does it take for you to ship my order?
A. Your order will be sent within 10 business days of payment receipt.
!Q. How long does Priority Mail take?
A. Priority Mail seems to take only about 2 or 3 days.
Q. What if I simply don't like the finished product, even if there is nothing wrong with it?
A. Not a problem! See Satisfaction Guarantee.
A. How durable are photo cutouts & popouts?
Q. The wood or Acrylic will last practically forever and the photo image is printed with a dye-sublimation photo printer which infuses the color INTO the paper, then covers it with a clear coat to protect from water and UV light damage. They will last as well as a print from a regular photo lab! And they are water resistant.
