Photos to canvas which company is best

victory

HI:D thinking of getting a photo done to canvas for OH christmas present there are so many companies, can anyone tell me which is the best or that they have used? Which size I should go for? Should I just go straight from photo to canvas or add special effects, sepia, black and white? What shall I do, thank you very much:D

Very good service, they rushed it through once I phoned them and told them i needed it quicker than their estimate - quality was excellent, was delivered free by fedex.

You were lucky to get it for under £25, the price list from the above link says a 20 x 30" is £55 now. Was yours from a bid on ebay?

I used costco catch in colour too because of the Costco member discount (25% I think). I agree with ringo_24601, the quality and service were excellent.

I'm not quite sure why, but for some reason his ebay shop is much much cheaper than using that website- and most of the canvas are on buy it now as well, so it's not like you're risking not winning with bidding?!?

There's the link:

Hope this helps

you need to remember that a proffessional photographer holds the copyright to your pics, normally you have to buy the rights from them which can be expensive and this is the reason they can charge an arm and a leg for 1 photo as it's either pay up for the photo or pay up for the copyright and print your own pics. Any photo place should refuse to copy proffessional photos unless you can prove you own the copyright as it's illegal, even scanning and printing at home is illegal (sounds stupid not being abnle to print off pics of your loved ones)
