Editing your pictures for canvas printing

Editing a photo for canvas printing requires optimizing it for both visual quality and print specifications. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

High Resolution: Ensure your photo has a high resolution (at least 300 DPI). We can go a little lower, such as 200 DPI but that has to be for larger sized canvases
Crop Appropriately: Use photo editing software to crop the image to match the canvas aspect ratio (e.g., 4:3, 2:3). For example, if you are printing a 40cm x 60cm canvas, then the ratio is 2:3. Keep important elements away from the edges to prevent them from wrapping around the sides.

Brightness and Contrast: Increase brightness or contrast if needed to make the image pop.
Color Balance: Ensure the colors are vibrant but natural. You can use tools like “Auto Levels” or adjust manually.
Saturation: If your picture looks a little whitewashed and you want to make the colours pop a little more, you may adjust the saturation. Sometimes, some customers prefer a faded look to match with their other wall decor, then you may choose to de-saturate.
Sharpen Details: Apply sharpening carefully to enhance fine details, but avoid overdoing it to prevent a grainy look.

Remove Noise: Use noise reduction tools to smooth out grainy areas.
Correct Imperfections: Use tools like the Healing Brush or Clone Stamp to fix blemishes.
Check Levels: Ensure blacks are rich and whites are pure but not blown out.

File Type: Save as a high-quality JPEG, TIFF, or PNG.
Transfering image: Please don’t send to yourself via whatsapp. Whatsapp compresses the quality of the print.
