How to Prepare a Restored Photo for an Online Obituary
By ImgHeal · Updated
Choose a respectful portrait, create a clear web copy, and keep the original family file safe.
Choose the audience and purpose
Confirm the preferred photograph with close family and check that the image represents the person as intended. Consider whether other living people should be cropped and whether the source owner allows publication.
Prepare a delivery copy
Make a portrait crop that keeps natural space around the head and shoulders. Follow the funeral home or publication's file requirements and preview the image at small size.
Keep context attached
Keep the full source and restored master. Include the person's name and date in your records, but avoid putting sensitive details into the public filename.
Check before you finish
- Confirm the family's preferred image.
- Follow the publisher's specifications.
- Keep the full source separately.
