Typically, there are rectangular shaped or single square canvases put into use for making your digital prints. However, there are people who do not want a conventional look or feel to their digital canvas prints. Those who are looking beyond rectangular shapes of canvas prints can go for attractively shapes canvas prints. These comprise round, oval, hexagonal, etc. Keep in mind that merely the contours of your canvas prints are modified.
One distinct advantage shaped canvas prints have is their impact on the viewers. They leave a forceful imprint on the viewer as compared to that left by regular rectangular prints. To add a touch of dynamism to your digital canvas prints, you can opt for three & four panel canvas splits. For four panel canvas prints, almost any image can be easily split across various canvases for a contemporary look.

You will also get a good discount because you’ll be purchasing three or more canvases.

Make your photo to canvas different and unique by using effects! Effects bring life to the canvas by adding a little something that is elegant and subtle. If the canvas is for a special occasion, text can be added to it to make it more personal.
If an animal or person is to be highlighted, soften the background colours or make it black and white. You can use the Cropping tool to retain only the preferred part of the picture, cutting away unwanted parts of the frame.
The Colour Cut-out or Colour Splash effect keeps the entire photograph black and white or monochrome and highlights only the preferred part of the image. The Replace Background Colour Effect changes the background colour into pastel, tonal or bright.
The Oil Painting effect applies brushstroke textures to the image. The Splitting effect splits the image into three or more sections. Other effects are black and white, sepia, negative and many more.
Give us the responsibility of turning your precious photo into a unique canvas using effects and you will never regret it!

One question that often comes up for discussion when printing digital photographs is: How many megapixels does one actually need for a specific size print, like an 8×10 inch print, or an 11×14 inch print, or an even larger poster size?
Part of this answer rests on the quality of the photograph or image. If a photograph is blurry or hazy, you may be required to resample or resize it to a lower scale (number) of megapixels so that the blurriness or haziness is offset. If this is not done, the quality of the full-blown printout may be inferior to what you would want.
Secrets of a quality printout
- Print quality largely depends on the paper as well as printer.
- A good print can be ensured with a quality photo paper and not an ordinary inkjet/laser paper.
- The printer needs to be configured to make use of the high-quality paper.
Once you approach an experienced canvas print maker, such as ourselves, you will be able to check out the optimum size of the image you can go for - without losing its clarity and effect. The decision is better left to experts because that will ultimately define the look and attractiveness of your canvas print.

Big pictures or digital canvas prints are bound to attract every viewer. It is understandable that most people prefer larger canvas prints for their sheer impact.
When you are visualising your canvas print, take into account its optimum size; it needs to be proportionate to the wall or area where you wish to place it. The size of your digital canvas print can be as small or as large you want, but it should gel well with the overall home or office décor.
Typically, the size and also resolution of the original photograph will decide the maximum permissible size of your canvas print. Standard sizes range between 12 inches x 12 inches (30cm) to a wall filling 40 inches x 60 inches. You can also get a bigger canvas print; accordingly quotes vary. You need to first check the specific resolution needed for the particular size of canvas you desire. If you want a larger canvas print, find out the feasibility of canvas prints in the size you need.
It goes without saying that digital canvas prints – a combination of art, beauty and technology - can indeed fill your home or office with positive vibes and make your family or colleagues more enthusiastic and zealous.
