There are many ways to ensure that you get nothing short of the perfect canvas print that you have always wanted. However, all these measures would be futile if you fail to do one thing and that is to choose the perfect photo. Even if you have scoured the Internet world to find the best canvas printer, even if you have proofread the text on your canvas print a hundred of times, and even if you have the highest quality canvas material and high-grade inks, all these would be worthless if you choose to have printed a photo that is pure ugly.
To ensure that you choose the perfect photo for your canvas print, here are some guidelines to keep in mind.

Subject

The first factor to consider is the subject. Many things will come into play with regards to this factor. First, you have to know if the photo subject is appropriate for the purpose of the canvas print. Are you going to use the canvas print as a wedding gift, a decorative element in the dining room, or something to adorn your bedroom walls wit?

If it is a gift for a wedding or any other occasion, choose a subject that will be appreciated by the gift recipient. For example, if you were planning to give this as a gift to an eco-advocate couple, a photograph of exotic underwater life would be apt. Now if it is for your own home, photographs of the family, vacations, and occasions are some of the probable options.
Always be careful when choosing a subject. Remember, the canvas print will last a long time so you need to select a subject that you will not easily get tired of.

Quality of the Photo

Photo quality is another factor of prime importance. Even if you deem that you are very beautiful in that portrait shot that was taken of you a few years ago, if the photo is not of good quality, it will not come out beautifully on canvas.
Great quality photos are those that are high in resolution, clear, crisp, sharp, and bright. Stay away from photos that are dark, dreary, grainy, pixelated, and blurry. Always remember that photos that look good in small size may not appear as good when printed on a larger size canvas.
If you are doubtful about the quality of the photo you want to have printed, ask help from the canvas printer. A good canvas printer will be more than happy to assist you in matters such as this. He/she will examine the digital file of the photo to determine if it is fit for canvas printing.

Size

Speaking of size, it is also a must to ensure that you have the correct size for the photograph. Yes, canvas prints come in various sizes but always consider the height to width proportion so that the output will not be different from the original photo. Again, consult with the printer first regarding this matter if you are unsure about the size.

Choosing the perfect photos is indeed the first step in having the perfect kind of canvas print.
