Making a Photo on Canvas

Saturday 18th August 2018

When selecting a photo for a canvas print, it's a good idea to use photos from cameras with higher resolution as this will prevent image quality decreasing when the photo is enlarged.

When choosing the canvas shape, you need to consider the positioning of the main subject in the picture and choose the appropriate shape which fits the subject. For example, you shouldn't choose a square frame when your picture has a full length person in it. If you want to have as much of your subject as possible displayed on the canvas, choose a rectangular (tall) canvas shape. If you have a landscape or panoramic photo, then choose a long or extra-long canvas shape. Don't forget to leave a gap around the edge of your photo to allow for stretching the canvas around the frame.
Always consider where you're going to hang your canvas before you order it because there's no point ordering a massive print if you have only tiny wall space, or ordering a tiny print if you need to fill a large area. If the canvas is going to be a gift, have a look around the recipient's house and note how much empty wall space they have and if there is plenty of room for the new canvas.

Make sure its a photo of something you like or a memory of a special event.There are few things worse than choosing an awkward family photo or an image with a photobomber to hang on the wall.

Don't forget to check out your colour scheme and that the canvas print you require will match or stand out the way you prefer.
Finally always use a reputable company to carry out your requirements and uses top quality materials like www.canprint.co who are a canon accredited company.
