ST advice appreciated: Business cards with a photo on them -- glossy or matte finish? -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 12, 11:44 26
- Matte finish - glossy reflects fingerprints and smears which are gonna happen a lot on business cards. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 12, 12:52
- Are you a real estate agent? If not, no picture on business cards. - CovingtonCat Feb 12, 11:59 20

        I do agree about the lighting. it looks like a head-on flash. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 13:32 3
        
        Really? I actually bounced it off of the ceiling. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 12, 13:33 2
        
        try bouncing off a side wall for an effect like a huge softbox -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 12, 14:07
        
        I don't know fancy talk for lighting, but when the picture is shrunk, it doesn't look right to me. -- nm - loosilu Feb 12, 13:36
        
        I like this - I would do a matte finish. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 12, 12:50
