Are there any special tips & tricks to make my digital photo look good?
Sure! 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 the computer which is why night time photographs don't show up as 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 photo that most resembles the person you are.
Enhancement: Once you have selected and scanned your photograph you can further enhance it using Image Enhancing softwares like Adobe PhotoShop or Corel Photopaint. This is for the trained professional only so ask someone who is trained in the above to help you out. Working with even simple functions like brightness, contrast, hue and saturation can make a big difference to your photo!
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.

While uploading my photograph, I saw two options called .JPG and .GIF. What do they mean?
JPG and GIF are two of the most popular digital image formats on the internet. Shaadi.com accepts only these two image formats for attaching to your matrimonial profile. Check the format of your digital photo and select the correct option. If you're not sure about the format of your photo, check the file name extension of your photo file. If it ends in .jpg then select the .JPG option. If it ends with .gif then select the .GIF option.
