the be a list of thing to do. brightness or contrast. where there a box with a 0 in it. click on that and erase the 0 and then type in 50 and then click ok. you want to lighten the photo because when baking and shrinking down size the colors well darking so if you don't it be to dark and the image will

protective coation
to prevent your piece from moving during the spraying or painting. get paper and apply tape to back of your shrink dink pieces and stick to paper,
use matte or hight gloss. (tested krylon works best) I like to use glear fingernail polish. it work but don't make it washable. I learn from a hard way.
I have not find the right stuff yet still learining how to protective. -
