Here are some time tested tricks that have done wonders for our users:-

• Choose a solo photograph having a close-up or a full view. Keep away from group photographs where you are only a small part of the whole photo because it raises confusion for the viewer and also encourages comparisons which may not always work to your advantage
• Professionally clicked snaps are would make a great difference in comparison to the ones clicked by you at random. Professionals are well versed with the right angles, lightening and backdrops and adjust them to make you look your best. So getting a snap professionally clicked is definitely worth the effort.
• Choose photographs where you are the focus of attention and not the scenery surrounding you. Your prospective partner wants to judge you and not the beauty around you!!
• Consider picking up photographs that are bright and colorful. Photographs tend to become a little darker when seen on your desktop, so avoid posting photographs shot in the night.
• After selecting and scanning your photograph, do not forget to use Image Enhancing Softwares like Adobe PhotoShop or Corel Photopaint. Many good cyber cafes offer services in this regard. Ask someone trained there to adjust the brightness, hue, contrast and saturation levels to give you best results.
