a boy and his dog

[qcocoq]

I've been working on this. Has anybody ever had something printed on canvas?

Thanks for being candid about my candid.

It's really a nice picture and looks great with paint effect and frame. I've never printed on canvas but yours looks like a great choice for it.

I had some fun with it and used optikVerve Labs B/W aged filter on it. I also did a little cropping.

Personally I think it looks better with the rocks and wood in it. But everyone looks at things differently.

Thanks Joe. I really like what you did with it. I'm going to play with the cropping again. Thanks for your input.

It is a great shot, Coco! Very special and sweet! Definitely one to frame to make extra special! Those were the days, huh? A boy and his dog! Now it's mom picking up the you-know-what while the boy is out with friends!

Great Job - Hey, I print on canvas all the time. It is great. I buy letter size sheets that feed right through my HP printer. Office Max used to carry their storebrand canvas sheets, but think they have discontinued. You can also order from Dury's. Have also had 24 x 36 canvas printed at Office Max.

Thanks Ima . . . I probably don't want the element canvas texturizer filter do I?

[ImaBassetcase]

Well, it depends, I usually use the filter, and when printed it seems to look better than without it. Just play with it and use different settings in the texurizer - maybe lower than the default settings. Also, try saving your picture in different setting versions and do a multiple printing on your canvas to see which works best before you waste a whole sheet of canvas.

Good Luck finding the canvas paper - I understand it is not as easy as it used to be. Have been told that Office Max does not carry it anymore. Dury's is located here in Nashville, but I believe you can order online too.

Thanks again for your help, Rhonda.

Coco, I'm so interesting in printing on canvas, too. We have to try this!

I have printed on canvas quite a bit. I like the fact that you can then paint on the photograph in oils or acrylics - gives a dimension to a photograph. Jean

Wow, Jean...that sounds fantastic! Would love to try that someday!
