Instead of printing your photos or artwork on traditional photo paper, why not print your memorable shots on a canvas? Photos digitally printed on a canvas can take your pictures to a whole new level, and add some depth and interest to your home decor. Check out these easy steps to easily get print photos on a canvas and on your wall.
Instructions
1. You'll have to find photos or artwork that you would like get printed on a canvas. Many people choose wedding photos, family portraits, or even landscape and art photography that you may have in your library.
2. Once you have your photography or artwork that you'd like printed on a canvas, you're going to want to optimize them so that when they are printed, they will come out really well. Using Adobe Photoshop or any other photo editing tool, enhance the quality of the shots by playing around with the brightness/darkness, the colorization, and even the cropping of the photo.
Try to step back from the screen every once and a while and take a look at not only the colors and brightness, but the composition too. Rotate, crop and do whatever it takes to get that perfect photo that will look beautiful on your wall.
3. Determine what size you'd like the canvas to be, as well as what orientation (portrait or landscape) you'd like as well. Make sure you already have a space in your home in mind for each photo that will be printed on canvas, because unlike traditional photography paper, you cannot cut or resize these at all.
Use measuring tape to find the maximum dimensions that you'd be able to fit into each particular space where you plan to hang the canvas. Then, you can select an appropiate size from the website that you'll be printing the photos from.
Normally, canvas printing places online will size your canvas as 11x14, 16x20, 16x24, 20x30, 24x24, 24x36, and 30x40. However, you can also ask for custom sizes, but the price will drastically increase.
