Prints on canvas

Canvas prints is a fine way to display your digital photos on canvas.  Printing on a fabric that is so close to the real 100% canvas that is used for painting on you can get a really good look from a canvas print through inkjet canvas printing. This is then when you find that the canvas is stretched over a wooden frame called stretcher bar frames to save your canvas from going loose through weathering.

It’s handy to order a canvas print from a company that offer next day delivery but some deliver on a weekly basis. Most are delivery in a few working days thought which makes the canvas print a great gift idea to as you don’t have to wait very long for it t me made up and sent out to you. If you wanted to test a canvas print for a good quality job then a good way to test would be to ping the canvas print with your fingers and if you get a pinging noise like a drum then that’s a good way to say yes this is a well stretched canvas print. Then you can simply check the back and sides of the canvas for the tidiness which anyone would be able to see if it’s done properly.

Canvas photo prints is an exceptional and perfect way to show off any image, photos or artwork. The options as to what you could have printed on canvas are endless. When  you do choose to order a canvas print then try to get one that has a high gsm which means the thickness of the canvas, the thicker the better with the 100% cotton canvas but with pollycotton canvas around 250gsm is perfect and you can get a quality canvas print and stretch from this. So having the right components and right knowledge is a must have when producing the perfect canvas print.

When having a photo on canvas it’s nice to have a proper wooden frame, sometime you may get some knots in the frame but just to have that real wooden look just give the canvas the glory it deserves as if you have a brilliantly printed canvas with the best colour your eye could imagine the to have a really nice wooden frame just puts the cherry on the cake and finishes the job professionally ready for hanging on your living room wall or any wall for that matter as long as you get the sizing right the canvas print will fit in like a glove. Canvas photo printing has blew the wall art and wall decoration industry out of the water with its elegance and outstanding ability to blend in and stand out at the same time and I don’t think many products out there can pull that one of like the amazing photo canvas print That will last forever as an impact on your family or friends life as one of the most brilliant gift ideas that can ever be thought of.

Digital photos are stored as files on memory cards and computer hard disks. They can be stored in different file formats (each format has a unique file extension). Most of the formats are compressed to save space and each has its own pros and cons.

The need for standard file formats

Digital photos are saved as digital files on electronic media. These digital photo files are a collection of bytes. If each manufacturer and camera would have used a proprietary file format then you would have needed proprietary software that could read, print and display those formats. Using a standard format allows any camera to save photos while any other software can read, display and print them.

What is compression and why it is needed

A digital photo is a collection of pixels each pixel is stored as a value that represents its color and intensity. Usually each pixel is represented by an RGB value (three numbers one byte each with values 0 to 255 representing the intensity of Red, Green and Blue that combined together create the pixel’s color). An RGB value occupies 3 bytes. So how big is a digital photo file? It depends on the number of pixels in the photo. For example if you shoot a photo using an 8 mega pixels digital camera the photo will have 8000000 pixels each one occupying 3 bytes. The total file size would be 8000000*3=24000000 or 24Mbytes. This is a very big file. Big files are harder to manipulate they take a long time to send by email, they occupy large storage space and they take longer to load.

In any digital photo there is data that is either redundant or that if removed the viewer would not be able to notice the difference. In addition representing pixels as RGB values is not efficient in terms of storage space. The process of compression takes advantage of these facts. When you compress a digital photo the compression software represents pixels in a more efficient way, removes redundant data and removes data that is “not important”. The result is a significantly smaller file. For example the above 24Mbytes file could easily be compressed to about 3Mbytes with hardly any noticeable quality degradation.

Before compressed digital photo files can be viewed or printed they need to be decompressed. Decompression is the reverse process of compression – a compressed file is converted to its original format usually a simple RGB pixel file. Using standard compression file formats allows one software to compress a digital photo file and another software to decompress it and process it.

Lossy or Lossless compression?

There are two main types of compression software: lossy and lossless. Here are the differences:

Lossless compression: Lossless compression means that if you take a file compress it and then decompress it the decompressed file would be the exact copy of the original file. With lossless compression no data is lost in the compression process the compression software uses better representation of the data in the file but it does not remove any data from it.

Lossy compression: Lossy compression means that if you take a file, compress it and then decompress it the decompressed file would be slightly different than the original one. The compression software not only represents the file’s data more efficiently but it also removes data that it considers minor or not important. Such data can be removed without hardly any noticeable degradation in the file quality. The differences between the original file and the decompressed file are minor and should be negligible to the user.

Lossless compression is usually applied to text and other data where all data is equally important. For example when compressing the text in this article and later on decompressing it you would want to get the exact original article without any words or sentences dropped by the compression software that decided they were not important.

Lossy compression is usually applied to digital photos and graphic files. Such files include data that the viewer would not be able to notice if removed. For example small changes to color in a photo might not be noticeable. The decompressed file is not exactly the same as the original one but when viewing both the original and decompressed photos side by side the viewer can not tell the difference. Lossy compression software can be set to different compression levels based on how much data is allowed to be lost. At some point losing too much data is noticeable and degrades the digital photo quality. Many digital cameras allow you to set the level of compression from low to high where high compression means smaller files but less quality and low compression means bigger files but no noticeable quality degradation.

Common digital photo file formats

You can know what a digital photo file format is by checking its extension. Usually the extension is three letters representing a specific format. Here is a list of the common extensions and formats:

BMP Windows Bitmap: this is a basic raw format. The photo is stored as a pixel raster and is not compressed. While this format is very easy to use and is supported by practically all software it is not efficient as there is no compression applied.

GIF Graphics Interchange Format: An old file format initiated by CompuServe. It uses a lossless LZW compression and is thus more efficient than BMP files. GIF files are very efficient for storing basic graphics (that include lines, circles and other graphical shapes) and also efficient for storing small digital photos but are rarely used to store large digital photos as there are more efficient formats for that purpose. GIF files can also include multiple “frames” and support basic animation.

PNG Portable Network Graphics: This relatively new format was designed to be used in online applications such as web pages. It uses a lossless compression. The original goal of the PNG format was to replace GIF (due to some licensing complications associated with the GIF format). PNG is commonly used now by online web sites to represent small digital photos or graphics replacing the GIF format.

JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group: Also known as JPG this file format was designed by a special industry group and became an ISO standard. The design goal of the format was the efficient storage of digital photographic files. Although JPG files can support lossless compression they are almost always used in lossy compression mode. JPG files are very efficient in compressing digital photos. The JPG compression software can be set to different compression levels with higher compression levels the photo files can get very small but they can also get distorted. JPG files are the most common ones used by digital cameras to store compressed digital photos on memory cards and computer hard disks as they result in small file sizes and hardly any noticeable photo quality degradation.

Here are ten tips to take better and sharper landscape photographs when using your digital SLR camera.

 

1) Use a tripod and make sure that it is stable. This prevents camera movement; essential when working at slow shutter speeds and low light levels.

2) Use a cable release or self-timer to prevent camera shake when you press the shutter.

3) Use your camera’s lowest ISO setting. The higher the ISO setting, the more digital graininess is present in the image. Sticking to your lowest ISO will keep graininess to a minimum and ensures that picture quality is at its best.

4) Set a small aperture (reasonably high F number – such as F16) and focus approximately one third into the scene. This helps you achieve a deep depth of field, thereby making the image look sharp from foreground to background.

5) Take your photographs early in the morning and at sunset. During the ‘Golden Hours’ around dawn and dusk, the light quality is warmer and more interesting.

6) Set your white balance setting to ‘cloudy’. This will warm up the look of your photographs.

7) Don’t rush to take photos. Take time to look around and think about your composition. Get into the ‘creative zone’. Observe how the scenery is illuminated by the light.

Compose your photograph in a way that will take the viewer’s eyes on a visual journey through your photograph. Think: foreground, middle ground, background. Use lead in lines, such as walls, fences and footpaths to draw your viewer’s eyes into the scene.

]]>

9) Use your camera’s mirror lock up function. This locks up your camera’s internal mirror and prevents camera vibration when taking photos. It prevents camera shake, which can result from the movement of your camera’s mirror.

10) Invest in a selection of neutral density filters and a polarising filter. Neutral density filters prevent ‘blown out’ skies; polarising filters reduce glare on water, enrich colours and can make skies look more impressive. Buy the best quality filters that you can afford as cheap filters will reduce image quality.
