Preparation For Photos Printed On Canvas

By Karina Santana


Technology is fantastic these days, we are lucky to be able to have our best photos printed on canvas and made into a work an artist would be proud of. The technicians in the photo laboratories use really big, commercial sized printers to turn your photos into your preferred canvas size. Then they stretch it onto a frame that is deep. You can help create great images by preparing them at home first, this will give you the maximum result even before you have sent them to the lab or before you go to the store with your photos.

For greater results, you should always shoot your desired photo with the highest resolution setting on your camera. The highest the resolution of your camera, the better the picture will be. For example, if you have a camera with eight megapixels, it will give you four times the resolution of a two megapixel camera. The eight megapixel camera gives you a photo with eight million colored dots and not two million. Imagine how much more clearly defined your photograph will be, especially once canvased.

After taking your photo or photos, go to your computer and save it as a file. When it is saved, open up photoshop or any other manipulation software you might have on your computer.

Zooming onto the picture by clicking on view print size is your next step and here you should see the image at its largest size.

Most commercial printers print images on canvas at a dpi of three hundred so be sure to save your picture or pictures as a tiff file or a jpeg at three hundred dots per inches (dpi).

The steps above will help you prepare your images for basic sort of art. If you want to know how to prepare pictures for different types of art like mirror image wrap, block color border, or gallery wrap you only need to Google these art forms and you will be directed to simple tutorials that will show you how. You will love the effects these styles will have on your prints.

All you have to do then is send on your chosen image or images to the photo lab you wish and go pick them up when they are ready. You will be delighted with the results. They will make long lasting gifts that will be cherished and photos printed on canvas look divine in every room in your home.
