Submitting your image files online is relatively simple and should not require you to do anything special for the file.

Last week we looked at how to re-sample (enlarge) your images so they are optimal for printing (see part 1). This week we will look at how we can fine tune the image further.

Photoshop is the ideal tool for enlarging your image files and get them ready for printing. Ideally you don’t want to have to enlarge an image file but you may find that not all your images are large enough for the size you want.

I trust color about as much as I trust the news to get every story right the first time. Ironically I saw something in the news which was very interesting about a blue and black dress that many people were seeing as white and gold. It was an interesting phenomena.

We are always asked which paper is the best to choose. I usually answer that people should try the different papers and decide on their own which they believe best compliments their artwork.

One of the things that people appreciate the most about their images printed on canvas is the texture. The canvas texture alone can turn a typical photo into both a conversation piece and work of art.

Photographing your artwork is the first step to digital printing for artists. While scanning can usually result in a better quality digital reproduction a well photographed work of art can still yield incredible giclee and other digital prints.

Did you know that you can order a run of giclee printing offline. One little known secret is FinerWorks, while being an online print on demand service for artists and photographers, also has an offline program.

So what’s the deal with those little green stamps of approval? That is a question that is bound to come up within the next few days as the first batch of order shipped with those stamped on the package begin to arrive.
