talk to me about photo to canvas

[Deleted]

Who here has had a photo transfered to a large wrapped canvas? I really like the idea of this, especially since I don't have to pay for an expensive frame.

Do you see the canvas texture? Does it look like a painting or like an overlay of a picture on a canvas?

Or better yet would anyone be willing to pip their own canvas?

Thanks!

I had one done for my dad of my sister and myself. It turned out awesome.

I wish I could PIP, but I don't have a photo.

I used Artscow at Jenn's recommendation. It took a while to get here, but was by far the less expensive option and they packaged it really well.

I used Costco. SO happy with it. I'm in Toronto right now, but UW, I will try to remember to take a picture of it this weekend and send it to you. you can definitely see the Canvas texture and it was hands down SO much more affordable than any other option that I found.

I really wanted a pic of someone's canvas, but I ended up just buying a canvas deal on living social, so Im stuck with one now.

UW - was it a canvas on demand deal? I have two from them and I'm happy.

I found a local deal on living social. I think the place is called staple and stretch? It was $70 for a 2'x3' canvas. It had good yelp reviews, so I'm hoping it turns out ok.

did you still want the pic of my canvas UW or are you good?

[Deleted]

I think I'm good now, but thanks!

I took a pic of K's canvas at an angle so youcan see the texture

Thanks kwp! I'm glad I got the groupon and I'm excited to get a canvas now.

I checked out the one jennline recommended, which is very affordable, but my pics aren't high enough resolution. They are on Shutterfly or my photographer's site, but then they are way more expensive. I don't understand.

Did your photographer give you digital copies or your photos?

[kwpnjumper55]

Huh, that's weird that they are not high resolution enough.

I know. Like I said, it is for Shutterlfy and the photographer's company. They also have something where I can pay to download a high resolution one, but that seems silly when I have a CD of digital images. I may need to try to re-download the digital ones.

It's possible that she gave you lower resolution photos if she has a high res download available... Unless she said she was going to gve you the high res
