Picture Cufflink Question...
I'm thinking about getting the picture cufflinks from red envelope (locket-style).
My question is- where can I get pictures shrunk down to such a tiny size to fit into them? Do I just bring my prints into a specialty photo shop?
Any help would be appreciated, I want to know there is a local place that does this before I order these. TIA.

My friend used the picture from the "index" card that you receive when printing out the pictures at a store.
She used it for a locket.

Good idea, except the cufflinks look like they require a vertical pic, those index pics are usually horizontal, hmmm... Anyone else have ideas on how to do this?
Can you shrink a picture down for this sort of thing?

For stuff like that, I use Microsoft Word. Import the picture, then just grab a corner and scale it down until it matches the size you need. You can use the ruler on the top and bottom to see exactly what size it will be.

I did this. I scanned the picture into my computer (it was old, not digital) and then used a photo program to shrink it down, and printed it our on photo paper. worked great!

I do so much photo manipulations, I wind up using half a dozen tools. People always ask me what the "best" tool is for doing something. I always say "It depends". Something like this is way too simple for Photoshop or GIMP. Yes, they can definitely do it, but it's like trying to kill an ant with a shotgun.
