guys, do any of you know anywhere that will print a greeting card like photobox does but in square format instead of the usual 35mm shape ? Ideally somewhere like photobox where you can easily upload your picture, add custom text inside and order online etc..



cheers

I think photobucket does it, could be wrong though.

Anyone know of places as good as photobox that do photobooks with frames set for a 3:2 ratio not 4:3?

Te best way to get custom page layouts from Photobox is to design your page yourself in Photoshop, then save it as a jpg, upload, and use the fill page layout within Photobox. BIt more work, but you can then have whatever page layout you want.

I've been having a scout around but can't find anywhere that does the cards other than approximately A5 and A6 sizes.

You could always cut the bottom off a portrait one silly sort of Blue-Peter-style.

Other than that you're probably stuck with making a frame and text for a square image to fit on a (portrait would be best?) oblong card?

Why, out of interest, is a square card so important? scratchchin
