How Can I Get Faa To Not Add A Lot Of Wasted Margin Space Above And Below My Image On Objects?

Hi

It's actually your responsibility to add art that fits the products or to not sell them

Enlarging your images to fit something they don't fit in reality makes them unprintable.

If your work doesn't fit, do not add a markup to that item... or add a specially made image to that product by scrolling down and adding an edited image.

Be careful to crop your images so that the background borders aren't showing That's not good for printing.

It looks like when you photographed them you included the background

Also best to keep your signature very discreet.

If you have something that doesn't fit, it will fit it the best it can and leave space, all sites do that. A square image almost always works with most products. A small image, that's only like 2800px (and that looked expanded as its pixelated up close), doesn't fit on a duvet. You need a larger image.

And I was going to say what jessica said, clean crops, small signature, also watch for glare, the mountain scene may not print from the glare alone.

The images I see on your page print at 30 inches at most for a regular print. A queen duvet cover is 88x88 inches. A larger image will be needed to cover that. Customers do have the ability to scale the images up to cover the whole duvet but the print quality would probably not be very good if someone stretched an image that prints as a standard print at most 30 inches to cover an 88x88 duvet.

Shower curtains are quite large as well and I'm not sure why the images often seem to be stretched to fill the entire shower curtain but I've ordered shower curtains with images that I've stretched to fill the full shower curtain and they look amazing but they would print on paper at 40x60 inches or more.

I suspect this image may not be printed if sold:



It's important to crop the image properly. It looks like that may have been scanned or photographed while it was in the frame or sitting on a mat and much of the mat or frame is still there unevenly around the painting. It is best to crop out any frame or mat or take it out of the frame before scanning or photographing it.

if you leave your images up like they are now you will have issues, make sure everything is looking good before uploading, then go in and adjust them how you would like them, the buyers might crop differently
you need at least 10 items to be found in the search, so get familiar with the site and post more
good luck!

Here is list of pixel requirements: https://fineartamerica.com/showmessages.php?messageid=5499844&targetid=5502275#5502275
The two images you uploaded so far are simply too small for all the larger items.

How are you digitally capturing these images? Why such low resolution? They look a bit soft too. use the higher resolution camera ano an old cellphone. Mount it on a tripod. Rotate the final image so that the edges are square with the edge of the frame and then crop right up to the edge. You left a little of the background there and it is your responsibility to upload correctly. Make sure your images are captured with enough pixels for the products you want to sell. If any don't, don't sell them. Do not upsize you images in any way. Just scan or photograph at a high resolution.

There are many people in these discussions that can help you if you ask.
