Whether it be your own personal photo or a print from one of our categories a canvas print is a perfect gift. Perhaps you have a family photo, or a photo of the family pet or maybe a holiday photo. You can upload them to us via our website & have them on canvas for life.

Why not combine your print with our added option of Lyson Print Guard. Giving your canvas print 2 light coatings with Lyson Print Guard ensures that your canvas will be protected against natural elements such as sunlight, dust & heat.

Sepia Effect
www.choosecanvas.com
Over our next few blog posts we will be writing about all the different effects that be added to canvas prints now days. Whether it be a simple black & white effect, sepia or a blurred effect all can add to your canvas print.
First up is the Sepia effect.
Sepia effects are particurly effective when used on portraits or on photos of towns & villages. The sepia effect is one of the oldest around yet it is still pretty much the most popular. On canvas prints it can give a real touch of class & will make your print look that much more unique. In short a Sepia effect will make your print look like it was made in the 1930’s, 40’s or 50’s.
You can use any number of programmes now days to get the desired effect that you are looking for. Whether it be an expensive top of the market programme or a free online tool both will get the job done. But obviously you get what you pay for.
