Race photo question

does it have cropping ability on the site before you buy it?

what organization took the pic?, what's the website name?.... e.g., marathonphoto, etc...

can you save the pic to your hard drive, or did they protect that to make sure you'd buy it?

If you're forking over the money for the pic anyway and silly ASI won't do custom cropping, a decent graphic designer should be able to do a really nice reconstituted crop (whole picture, just takes Tim out) for $15 - $40.  You could take your chances on craigslist or elance.com.  Or you could order the pic, scan it, and do a slice-and-dice yourself (or have a friend do it) and wind up with a very tall, thin photograph with not much of the arch in it.

You look great, by the way!  Sorry about the yellow shirted Tim clone! 

I'm not seeing anything either.  Maybe they're in invisible ink.

no, they won't crop it, I actually e-mailed them that request. yes, they protect it so you have to buy it. Action Sports International asiorders.com yeah, needless to say, despite a friendly request, they were no help.

If you buy it anyways, then you reward their "customer service" or lack thereof.  Personally, I wouldn't waste my $$ to buy a picture I don't want and then pay more $$ to have it cropped into a picture I do want. 

However Target might NOT print it because it is a copyrighted phone.  You have purchased the image, that does NOT mean you can change the image. 

I would THINK the company could edit the image without any problem.  I know they are not making a killing doing these photos, but at 15.00-20.00 a pop, it aint cheap.  And it would take them what... maybe another 60 seconds to load, crop and save the image.  I would call someone else there and tell them you will buy it, once the image is what you want.  I would think it would not take them that long, and for a sale they should do it.
