Transform your favourite photographs into a gorgeous work of art through canvas printing. Printing photos on canvas allows photographers to display their works in a digital, high-resolution large-scale format that is not only beautiful and stylish to look at but also practical, as canvas prints are much durable than regularly-printed photos.

Canvas prints are becoming popular within the interior design community, as canvas-printed photographs produce the same elegant look than an expensive commissioned painting. The technology and latest equipments today assures that these quality prints can look as breath-taking as any other artworks.

So what kind of photos can be printed?

That special photo of your wedding day, your best friend's birthday party, snapshots of the family vacation, a portrait of your child, even of your pet, you can choose any photo you wish. Old, new, digital or original photos can be blown up to large format prints and set to suit your taste. Graphic specialists can even edit your photos to make it look like "real" art, setting it in a dramatic black and white finish for a classy look, tinting it to a specific colour or rendering it to have the well-liked pop art look.

These prints are not only perfect for home or office displays, but even as presents as well. Your loved ones will be delighted to receive photos that remind them of the fun times they had with you from the prints. Here are some notes in selecting the best photo for your canvas.

High-resolution photos. To attain quality prints, you need a photo that is clean, sharp and has high-resolution. Out of focus images cannot be re-focused.

Orientation/Shape. Choose the print orientation, either landscape (horizontal orientation) or portrait (vertical orientation) or shape you want your print to have.

Location of the subject. The subject preferably should be in the centre of the image so that when the print is wrapped around the canvas, the main subject would not be cropped.

Size. Printing companies have a vast range of canvas sizes available, but many offers non-standard sizes as well. The larger the canvas print is, the more detailed the image becomes. The size can also depend on the level of resolution your photo has. The better the resolution your photo has, the bigger the size you can print it with. The rest are done by the print companies, including cropping and sizing into the canvas, and optional graphic enhancements in which your photos are "magically" transformed into splendid artworks.

Keep your canvas prints looking brand new for a long time by following these simple tips: Avoid using acidic materials; acids can leave your canvas yellow and ruin your prints. Don't place your prints under direct sunlight; sunlight will make your prints age faster and cause it to fade. Avoid getting the prints wet; the canvas is water-resistant, not waterproof. Water-resistant means water slides easily on the surface, but the material may still absorb the moisture. Use brush or soft cloth to remove dust and lint in your canvas.
