One of the great gifts you can give is a picture on canvas. Most of the times, the picture is probably a photograph taken during one of the most memorable events you have shared with family and friends, pets, wife or husband, and kids.

In order to create the best picture on canvas, you need to take the highest quality print or digital photo. Photo editors through the use of the best photo editing software and scanning equipment on the market can only produce a picture as good as the original photo. They can try to enhance it but there are limitations. They can work around those limitations and the original image and then create an entirely new picture to canvas. As long as you can take enough photographs, the photo editors will be able to review and choose among them, and optimize each one to get the best possible results.

You have three choices when submitting your picture to canvas it and create the best possible print job. These are the best, reasonable, and poor photo choices.

• Best Photos. The best photos you will be able to submit will result in produce high quality photos. Nearly all styles of photo editing are well suited on the best photos taken by a professional or a novice. This is best described as shots that are in focus and the subject of the shot fills up nearly the entire frame. You need to get as much detail as possible so that the photo editors will have something to work with. So you need to have the figures centered, the details should be crisp and clear, and the shots should have a good composition.

• Reasonable Photos. Reasonable photos can turn out into good quality picture to canvas. These shots are a step down from the best photos. If we zoom into the image, we can only get details that are not as sharp as the best photos. The photo editors can still use the image and improve them but not all the styles used in digital printing and editing can be used on reasonable photos. So reasonable photos are taken with focus that is almost clear particularly the subject of the photo, the subject is filling up the entire frame, and the details merely have medium clarity. Some causes of reasonably taken pictures are subject is not centered when you took the shot, the subject you took a picture of is just too far away, or you used a strong camera flash.

• Poor Photos. The photo editors will have very limited use on such poor photos. Poor photos will not have very good quality picture on canvas. Some causes of poor photos are dark shots of the subject, pictures are faded, details are unclear, and you have used a small resolution on your digital camera when you took the shot. What will happen is that you will have poor clarity of the details which is important when you want the picture to canvas.

In worst case scenarios when your photo is too old and you really want the picture on canvas, what you need to do is submit the picture so that the photo editors can take a look at it and tell you how much they can work on or if they can actually work on it. They might be able to enhance the image but it might just as far as they can go. If you are not satisfied with the results, you can always ask for a refund.

Whatever the case maybe, you are guaranteed that a picture on canvas that you have is the best gift you can give. As the saying goes, "A picture paints a thousand words."
