Restoring your photos or making your image print-ready can be a time-consuming process, even if you know what you are doing and are familiar with using an image editing program.
If you have not explored using an image editing program, there are a number of good ones out there, some more expensive than others. Below is a list of some of my favorites for preparing artwork or photographs to be printed on canvas or fine art paper.
- Adobe Photoshop
- Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo
- Adobe Photoshop Elements
- Ulead PhotoImpact
- Microsoft Digital Image Suite
