Considering getting some of your photo prints on canvas to display around your home or office? It can be hard to figure out which photographs to turn into beautiful canvas prints. Your vacation photos, your family portraits, landscape photographs you took on your last hike – all would make beautiful prints on canvas. So how do you choose? Well there are four tips that you can use to help choose the right photographs so that your prints on canvas will be beautiful every time.
1. Clear Photographs for canvas printing: You want to make sure that the photos that you choose to become prints on canvas are clear and not blurry, especially those family portraits. Clear, crisp photographs are always a great choice because when they are turned into prints on canvas and enlarged, that detail will stay clear and beautiful. Clear photos will ensure that any print you have created will turn out beautiful and won’t lose any detail in the process.
2. High Resolution Scans for canvas printing: If you are scanning in a photograph to turn into a canvas print, you want to make sure that you scan it at a resolution of at least 300ppi. This will help us to print the best possible image as a larger canvas print and will ensure that no detail is lost in the process. Lower resolutions can be turned into prints on canvas but can lose detail or color in the process.
3. Digital Photographs for canvas printing: Digital photographs are the ideal choice to create prints on canvas as they are already in digital format. This way, you don’t lose detail or color when you are scanning the photograph in to send to the canvas printer. That said, if you don’t have a digital copy of your image and are going to have to scan it, it is better to send us your paper print than to do it yourself – assuming you can afford the time it takes for us to receive it, of course.
4. Edited Photographs for canvas printing: You do want to make sure that any photograph that you are considering having turned into a canvas print has been edited to how you like it. You want to crop out anything you don’t want in the canvas print, take out red eyes if you are able, clear up any lighting or brightness issues that are bothering you, and basically edit the picture so that it is just the way that you want it. We offer standard retouching for free, which means that we will actively help your image to look best, but only you know exactly what you want. If you find that you don’t have the tools or skillset to edit your own photograph, write what you would like different in the “Notes” section of your order.
If you take these four tips into consideration when you are choosing your photographs to send to hichinaprinting.com to be printed on canvas, you will easily get back the most beautiful prints possible. The only other thing you have to worry about is which pictures you want to have printed, and that can take the most time.
