Create Spectacular Wall Art with Digital Canvas Photo Prints

One of the most exciting improvements in do-it-yourself digital photofinishing is the ability to create digital canvas photo prints from your best shots.

Canvas prints are enlargements printed on art canvas instead of photo quality paper. They are mounted by wrapping the edges of the photos around an internal frame.

Regular framing can be costly, especially for large pictures, but canvas prints are great because they come ready to hang without a conventional frame.

Here's what you do.

• Upload any high resolution digital photo of your kids, family portrait, or favorite landscape to an online photo printing service.
• Use online tools to crop, fiddle, or customize the photo if necessary.
• Transform it into black and white or sepia tone if you like the studio or vintage look.
• Select the appropriate size and then place your order.

That's it!

Pricing

Pricing starts at around $80 for the smallest size (16x20). For the biggies (24x36) expect to pay around $150.

We don't think that's really all that much considering that you don't have turn around and have these big prints framed.

For example, framing a 24x36 print can easily run you over $100!

Ideas for Canvas Photos

Because canvas prints are treated more like art than photos, think of where you can hang them throughout your home.

• Hang a large digital canvas photo behind a couch.
• Create a series of smaller black and white canvas photos in the dining room.
• Give canvas prints of the kids or new baby to the grandparents as gifts.
• Scan your kids' artwork and turn it into a canvas masterpiece to hang on the wall.
• Decorate your office with canvas artwork of your favorite hobbies or scenic landscapes.
