subject: Tips & Tricks To Help Turn Your Image From Happy Snap To Work Of Art [print this page] It's possible to enhance your photos for little, or no, cost - improving the special images you want to preserve with canvas printing. Whether you want to make your images black and white, or you have more creative aspirations for your work, it isn't hard to achieve the results you want. Consider a few of these easy manipulation tips for before and after you print, to improve the overall effect of your canvas prints.
Crop
Cropping your photograph can draw focus to the right features of your work. Most cameras have a crop function, or your computer will have the ability to crop on any graphics program. Cropping your photo can improve composition, and create an artwork that fits regular sized frames - saving you money.
Blur
Blurring the background of your photograph can also help draw the eye of your audience to the main feature of your canvas print. Check out your camera instruction booklet for details on how to create this great effect, or look at the tools on your graphics program.
Enhance
For no added cost Roo Prints can manipulate your image for you, enhancing, brightening or duplicating your shot, for a better final result. Check out the website for both subtle and more creative enhancements. Whether you want to add glow to your subject, or play with colour - we have options for you.
Graphic Programs
A graphics program can offer you a vast array of tools to enhance and manipulate your images. You don't necessarily have to pay for Photoshop though. Free online graphics programs such as SplashUp offer you many of the same tools.
Tint Images
Classic options such as black and white, or sepia tints, can add style and consistency to your shots. However if you'd like a more playful approach, you can add a purple or multicolored tint to your work.
Grouping
One way to change your image look without changing the actual image is by mixing up the way you hang them. Hanging images in groups, and varying formations, can change the way the photos appear. Consider contrasting subject matters or colours in interesting series or groups of work - just make sure you have the correct space available on your wall so it doesn't look cramped or cluttered.
