Flower Pictures - Printing On Canvas

Flower pictures make great art to decorate our homes with: gorgeous colors, beautiful shapes and form, a flower image makes the ideal subject for any room in the house. If you want your flower photograph to look really professional though, a great solution is to have it printed onto canvas, so that it really does become a wonderful artwork. Nowadays it is very easy and inexpensive to put your photos on to canvas, but if you bear in mind a few useful tips you can make sure that you get the best possible results.

A canvas enlargement needs the best quality original digital image that you can provide. The larger you have it printed the sharper it needs to be and the more detail it needs to have. So when you are taking a picture of a flower or any other subject that you might want to enlarge, you should have your camera set to the top resolution setting that it has.

It makes sense to keep your camera on these settings all the time, as you never know when you might catch that wonderful shot and it would be so disappointing to find that it isn’t good enough to blow up large. Depending on your camera you might find a choice of Fine and Superfine or Small and Large Images. There might also be an ISO option from 50 to 400 or more.

Explore the options that your camera has and set them to the best quality setting: Superfine, Large, ISO 50 or whatever the best setting is for you. That way every photo that you take will have the potential to be blown up into a gorgeous canvas artwork to decorate your home.

Remember that as long as your flower image is of a good quality it can be worked on to improve it for printing. If an otherwise gorgeous picture of a daisy has a tiny speck of dust on a perfect close up of a petal, you can have it retouched.

Most canvas printing services offer a re-touching service. Some offer a general cleaning up of your photo as part of the service: they’ll balance the color levels and adjust the contrast for free.

You can also pay extra to a have a spot or blemish removed, or even have the whole background removed if it distracts the eye from the main image. If you are skilled in Photoshop you can of course do this yourself, before sending your image to be printed. Do remember though that retouching is an art in itself, so unless you are good at it, leave it to the professionals when you are having a canvas enlargement printed.

There are few things as satisfying as seeing your own flower pictures transformed into artworks when they are printed on canvas. So get photographing with your camera on its top quality settings until you catch that perfect flower image to decorate your walls.
