What factors should I consider when choosing a photograph to transform into a canvas print?

When choosing a photograph for your canvas print, pay attention to the image's resolution, its composition, and most importantly, its emotional significance. A professionally shot photo with a high DPI (dots per inch) and a balanced composition is a great starting point, but the depth of nostalgia it carries can make even a grainy, amateur photo shine on canvas.

How does the quality of the original photograph affect the final canvas print?

The quality of the original photograph is the foundation upon which your canvas print is built. A photo with good resolution and color balance will preserve these attributes on canvas, offering a faithful representation. However, editing and printing processes can enhance most images, breathing new life into older or lower-quality photos without compromising the canvas print's integrity.

Can any photograph be turned into a canvas print, or are there some restrictions?

Almost any photograph can be turned into a canvas print, but there are practical limitations. Extremely low-resolution photos may appear pixelated when enlarged to canvas size. Likewise, images with extreme lighting or compositions that include crucial details close to the edges may not translate well. It's all about balance — between image quality, the printing technique, and the intended canvas size.
