CanvasPress.com - Review and Giveaway!

Have you ever taken a photo on a trip that was just beautiful, one that you would have loved to put up in your home? How about a perfect shot you took of a sunset that you love looking at? Do you have a favorite photo of your children that you always wanted to enlarge and frame, or maybe a family photo that would look great as an oil painting, hanging up over the fireplace?

Canvas Press is a company that can do this for you. They can convert any photo you upload onto long-lasting, fade-resistant canvas for a true to life image, cropped and sized to your preference. They can convert it into an oil painting, and even artistically alter it to look like a masterpiece rendition, just like the photo above! Take a look at some of these ideas:

A series of photos of your baby (or babies):

A panoramic shot from a favorite trip turned into a masterpiece for your living room:


A favorite moment in your life, a great memory you'd like to always remember, or a terrific gift for a couple getting married:


After you upload your photo, you can select the size you'd like, the border you prefer, and any special effects you'd like to add. Borders can be a solid white or black, or you can have the picture flipped for a unique effect. Special effect options include having your art converted into black and white, or sepia, or having it embellished into a stunning rendition of the original photo. You can have retouching done if the photo has any flaws you'd like removed before making your masterpiece. You can even have a photo split into mutliple panels of various sizes (you pick it all) for a great effect like this:



Canvas Press canvas art will not fade, even in the sun, and even wipes clean, so no worries about little fingers excitedly touching it when your children receive their images. They are made to last, are very sharp, and add a personal touch to your home. After all, wouldn't you rather have art of your family or photos you personally took decorating your home?

I had the opporunity to have an image enlarged to a 16x20 inch piece for review, and used this photo of my sweet goddaughter:


and received this vertical print, on 1.5" gallery-wrapped canvas with Image Border:


I was very happy when I received it. I'm not sure what exactly they do in those image labs, but the Canvas Press canvas print is incredibly sharp, and she looks absolutely beautiful (my camera and home lighting may not do it justice). Everyone who has seen it has gasped, and it's a real treat for her.
