Choosing the photo

Three candidates from the year, posted to the family chat for a vote. The winner was the Capitol's holiday tree at blue hour.

File prep

Export at 300 dpi, 5 × 7 inches with 1/8 inch bleed, sRGB. Soft-proof on matte paper first: the shadows block up and need +10 lift.

Ordering

Order by the first week of December. Sixty cards, matte, with envelopes. Addresses come from last year's list.
