Special tips & tricks to make your digital photo look good:
There are 3 steps involved in making your photograph look good on the Internet.
Selection: Selecting the right photograph involves many things. Firstly, select a photograph that is bright and colourful. Photographs in general tend to become darker when seen on a computer screen. Thus, night time photographs don't show up very well. Select a photograph that is preferably taken outdoors, in the natural light. Also, if possible select a close up or full view snap. Try not to choose a group photograph where you are only a small part of the whole photo. Finally, choose the photograph that most resembles the person you are.

Enhancement: Once you have selected and scanned your photograph you can further enhance it using Image Enhancing software like Adobe PhotoShop or Corel Photo Paint. This is for the trained professional only. So ask someone who is trained in the above to help you out or seek a DTP Centre service. Working with even simple functions like brightness, contrast, hue and saturation can make a big difference to your photograph.

Optimisation: Finally, make sure you save your enhanced matrimonial photograph as a .jpg or .gif file. These file formats are web-friendly and reduce the file size considerably. Having a small file size is important so that it loads quickly on the Internet. If you have a very large photograph it may take very long to download and visitors may get tired of waiting
