Turning My Photo Into A Canvas

Written by Neil Galloway

I received my print today from Canvas On Demand. The delivery on it was very, very quick. It actually came in 2 days with FedEx, but I was unable to be home when it arrived so I had to go pick it up today.

It was well wrapped in a thin foam material that was easy to take off.

The Canvas Quality

I have to say that I am quite impressed. The picture turned out just like what I had sent it. I had them do the regular Photorealistic print for me. I had used Photoshop on my own photo however to turn it black and white the way I wanted it. They will do this for you, but I did it myself to save the cost. The canvas came out true to its black and white color.

It looks pretty nice too with the canvas look

This was originally a color photo from our professional photographer's negatives from our wedding. My wife and I took the negatives into our local Walmart and had them scanned and converted to files on a compact disc. From there we edited the photo and sent it away to Canvas On Demand.

Check out the quality of my print hanging on the wall.

A wedding print like this was an obvious choice for my wife and I because it will last for a long, long time and never become out dated. I have been greatly impressed with the quality that I would consider using them for an anniversary gift for friends and family.

They have a variety of sizes, finishes, and frames to pick from. You could find a canvas to match almost any occasion. What I find with a decent sized canvas print is that it can really add to the room and become a feature piece for a wall. I went with black and white because it will easily work in most rooms too.

Requirements

There is nothing too special you need to do. You can give them almost any digital photo. They do ask that it is at least 300dpi quality. If you have taken a photo on any digital camera made in the last few years and haven't reduced the quality too much, it should look fine.

If you want some more processing on it and you don't have the technical know how, then do not worry. They offer all of these services. You can select it as an option on your order and even put some information in the comment section of your order if you need them to crop or do something else.

How does this compare to Costco's canvas-transfer service? We're thinking of using them for a couple of prints from our trip to Ireland. Price-wise it looks like Costco is cheaper.

Good question. I am unaware of Costco's product. This opportunity came up so I took advantage of it. I will definitely take a look at it.

How long does it take for this one to be completed and shipped to you? Do they accept suggestions from you in case you want some changes in your canvas? Do they charge extra for shipping and some changes? How will you know that the canvas is according to what you really want?
