Tips for photo files
- Select a photo file that has lots of overall brightness—avoid real dark images or photos with a lot of shade or shadow area
- Look for color-rich, super saturated photos. If you can, dial up the color intensity 2 – 5 percent so really make your new photo canvas pop!
- Keep your subjects center of frame, especially if you will do a wrapped edge canvas
- Avoid too many strong vertical or horizontal lines in the background or foreground. Things like fence posts, telephone lines, dominant tree trunks, etc. may be distracting
