How to take a good card photo
- Fill the frame: the card should take up most of the photo.
- Put the card on a black background. A plain, non-shiny black surface works best.
- Lay it flat and shoot straight down, not at an angle.
- Use even light with no glare. If the sleeve or top loader reflects, tilt the card or move the light.
- Keep all four corners in view.
- Hold still so the text is sharp.
