Photobloc Blog – Canvas Prints

Archive for the ‘Canvas Printing’ Category

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.

When saving images for canvas prints there are a bewildering choice of file types, some more suitable than others.
For canvas printing, tiff is the industries most common, but it can create very large files which take up disc space and are not easily transferred via the internet.
Therefore the best choice is jpeg, but be aware that when saving, the scroll bar MUST be set to highest file size. This allows the jpeg when closed to compress often to less than a Mega Byte but when opened again will expand back to full resolution, often up tp 30 or more Mega Bytes. Saving them at any less than highest file size will result in loss of image information which means when it is opened again it cannot expand back to full resolution often with unprintable results!

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!
