Jigsaw puzzles from photo's for my mother in laws christmas
Discussion
Not talked for a while, we sort of fell out 
So I thought I would break the ice with a nice photo turned into a jigsaw puzzle for Christmas and as she is of Christian bent that I would do a couple of jigsaws of churches from my dog walks this last couple of months

The originals I can polish up to be nice and sharp etc.
But looking online there is not one obvious choice for converting it. Indeed it seems quite expensive also. I can understand that it costs to transfer the image onto cardboard and boxing and shipping, but why does x pieces cost more than x/2 pieces? The stamper cannot be more expensive to run.
Has anyone done this and can recommend good results. Basically if I am going to stump up a lot then I want to make sure it's shock and awe and she will forgive me for that thing I did not do in the first place! Who would you trust a good photo to to turn into a jigsaw ?
Cheers

I am particularly fond of jigsaw puzzles but I gave up doing traditional ones a number of years ago as a) they were making my neck ache and b) there's so much tedious stuff to do such as finding a suitable surface and turning the pieces the right side up. Searching for an alternative I discovered

I use two monitors so as to be able to see all the pieces at once. Lovely stuff and the best 20 Euros I ever spent, by far.[url]
I've got one on the go at the moment, screen shot of the two monitors
