"Ignored images because they are too small"

I've been using AutoCollage with awesome results but I'm currently having difficulty building a collage with images from a Snapfish album.  Many of the photos were scanned and uploaded into snapfish (originals dating back to the 1930's) and than emailed to me.  I was hoping to have a collage completed, framed and matted by next Saturday 10/4 but all images taken from Snapfish end up with the same issue...:"Ignored images because they are too small".  Is there a way to work around/override the image size requirement?

The only way to work around image size limitations today is to upscale the images to a larger number of pixels.

For example,

1. Make a copy of the image.
2. Open the copy with a program capable of resizing it, such as Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
3. Resize the picture to meet image requirements. For example, in Microsoft Office Picture Manager, choose Picture->Resize and increase the picture size by an appropriate percentage, e.g. to 200% of original.
4. Save the image copy.

Upscaling will invariably reduce the quality of the image, so it's important to not make this change to your original picture. 

We require images of a certain size with AutoCollage so the image processing algorithms we have can work efficiently and correctly. Once your image meets AutoCollage image requirements, you can successfully use it in collages.

Sorry for this limitation, please let us know if you have any other questions.
