Photos to canvas prints make an ideal Christmas present for family and the chance to create customised canvas prints should not be overlooked when trying to think of a present for that ‘hard to buy for’ relative. The photo you choose to have printed on canvas can be of virtually anything, a family portrait, a favourite holiday snap, or perhaps a special occasion that you celebrated during the previous year, such as a birthday party. Alternatively if you know a couple that celebrated their ‘special day’ during 2011, then why not transform their memories into a long-lasting canvas print, that will be around for as long as the marriage. The inks used in transferring your photos to canvas are guaranteed by manufacturers for 75 years.
The era of digital photography means that there are so many photos to choose from and selecting the perfect photos to transfer to canvas can be difficult. Following a few basic photography rules will help to narrow down the choice and then it is simply personal taste. You can always ask a friend’s opinion, just in case you want to double-check. The easiest things to check for before choosing the final photo are to make sure everybody’s eyes are open and nobody’s head will be ‘chopped off, there is a ‘bleed’ to consider if you want your canvas to have a gallery wrap. Don’t worry too much about colour issues, or red-eye, these can be dealt with by the canvas printing company, just ask them to make any colour adjustments before printing your photos to canvas.
