Put Photos On Canvas For Wall Art

Showcase family memories as canvas wall art displays.


Creating a personalized photo canvas project requires the use of high-resolution digital photo images and canvas printing paper. Photo design software to process the digital images and an inkjet printer are also required components for a canvas photo project. Canvas mounted photos offer a personalized alternative to commercial art hangings and store bought gifts for loved ones.


Instructions


1. Select or take photo with a high-resolution digital camera. Use a camera with 7.0-mega pixel resolution or higher for photo clarity.


2. Purchase canvas inkjet printer paper.


3. Purchase or make a canvas frame.


4. Use photo-processing software to enhance and enlarge the photo. Adobe Photoshop or Kodak Photo Gallery software is recommended. Convert the photos to black and white or sepia tone if desired.


5. Select printing options in the software program tab. Select "Canvas" or "Card Stock" in the paper selection window.


6. Print a test image on standard paper. Print the final project. Lay the project on flat surface and let the ink dry for 15 minutes.


7. Stretch the canvas over a wood frame and nail it in place with paneling nails.
