the white is from you not cropping them before uploading them.
If you crop so the image shows just the card itself, that is what will be on the screen. The approvers to the gallery do not do any of that for you.
For the copyright info some people scan/take apicture with a piece of paper under it with the � info there. If not you can add it in most editing programs, such as Microsoft Picture it.
To get more details on uploading, please read through this thread, which is located in the announcements forum:
