Photobloc Blog – Canvas Prints

Archive for the ‘Canvas Print’ Category

A lot of people make the mistake of saving thier files as jpegs without setting the file size.

This generally compresses the file but doesn’t allow expansion again when re-opened thus causing pixellation when enlarged.

It is a common problem but one that is easily avoided.

When saving your camera downloads alwys save as jpeg but set the file size to the maximum size possible, this will still compress the file to save disc space but when it is re-opened it will allow the image to expand back to its original high resolution form and thus allow me to produce a canvas print as a canvas photobloc at virtually any size you want.

When working on your images always “save as” rather than save until you are sure that what you have done is correct, that way the original will always still be there to go back to if you need to.

Often the original download is corrupted by editing or saved in the wrong format, if the above advise is followed this can be overcome.

Often images submitted for canvas printing are in low resolution format and therefore not usable, reversion to the original high resolution version is therefore essential if we are to complete your order and successfully print on canvas your chosen image.

Whilst canvas prints are popular they are only as good as the information contained in the image submitted, it is therefore important to maintain the highest possible resolution of image when you are editing them.

It doesn’t matter whether it is a canvas photo or a canvas print of an original drawing that you are ordering, the same basic rules apply.

Holidays are upon us.

Lazy afternoons drifting down a tranquil canal.
Picnics in a flower strewn meadow.
Peaceful strolls down a leafy lane.
Or do you prefer the adrenalin rush of surfing, hang gliding or climbing.

They are all out there waiting to be experienced, and of course captured on canvas prints for you to treasure the memories of.

Canvas printing is in fact the most effective way of keeping those treasured memories alive, so get snapping this summer!

Stuck for ideas for your canvas prints?
As I travel around the country I never cease to be amazed at the plethora of ancient buildings this country is blessed with and the sheer range of styles, both in architecture and building materials.
The colours and settings make some of the most stunning images for canvas printing imaginable, so get snpping this weekend!

We can print on canvas your image in square, portrait or landscape format, whatever suits your image.
If the image is landscape but you want to concentrate on the pair of figures stood in the centre, we can crop just that area to form a portrait canvas print.
Zooming in on just a face and cropping to form a square canvas print is another possibilty.
The only limitations to the range of canvas prints available to you is your imagination and a good camera!

We have all seen the “Olde Wolrde” look brought about by asking us to apply a Sepia tint to your canvas prints, but for a more contemporary look, why not specify a different tint.
With a whole pallet to choose from the effects are limitless and so is the canvas printing possibilities.

Somebodies Birthday or Anniversary is coming up and you have several small images and don’t know which to use, why not use them all!
Choose from our range of sizes, create a blank document of that size and then scan and drop each image onto it, manouver the around and resize as you think fit until you have the montage that you are happy with.
Save this as a single layer image and submit that for canvas printing.
You can even incorporate a section with text, a simple message to the person envolved and see thier surprise when they recieve a personalised canvas print on thier special day!

Do you have a special event coming up?
Why not mark that occassion with a canvas photos complete with a personal message.
Simply tell us the message when you order your canvas print and we will add it for you.
Canvas printing can therefore make that special day seem very special for the person in question when thier gift arrives complete with personal message.

Our canvas prints don’t have to be straight forward copies, there are many different special effects that we can apply.
For that “old world” style, we can easily convert black and white or colour images into a sepia canvas print.
For a contempory feel we can convert your colour image to black and white and then bring back specified parts into colour so that they really stand out on your canvas print.
If your image has a busy background we can draw attention to the real subjects by applying a blur to the background and so create s soft background result.

Another week is over and we embark upon the weekend.
A time for relaxing with friends, pottering in the garden and preparing for this years holiday.
A time to dust of the camera and start planning those images to save as canvas prints.
canvas printing has never been so simple, just collect your shots, select the images you want and leave the rest to us.
We will proof each one and when approved they are delivered to your door ready to hang each delightful canvas print where ever you wish.
