Partly confirmed from official pages.This tool can't add the slate, so take that photo first: write your name and the date in large white chalk letters on a black slate, hold it flat against your chest below your chin, and have someone photograph you from the head down to the slate, against a light wall in good light. Then frame it here with the slate inside the box.
