I emailed the web site http://photofiddle.com/ to see if they can print water color print on canvas of a photo of my daughter. This is gift for my wife of our 2 year old daughter. They said that it is not really water colors but looks like it. I can also do it as oil painting or other style. Anyone know about this site?

Real watercolor paintings are painted on PAPER!
So if you print a 'watercolor' on canvas it will look ridiculous!
Kind of like a car with an airplane's wings.
Canvas is painted on with oil or acrylic paint. NOT with watercolors! That is technically impossible.

Thanks for your information. I emailed http://photfiddle.com/ again based on what you told me. They did say it is not really watercolor just looks like it. Thankyou for all your davice i am pretty new to all this stuff.

Thanks for your suggestion. I am looking into the company you recommended. Looks great. They even do the printing on canvas, that I am looking for. The other place that I am looking at also frames the picture.. I am looking for this as a gift for my mom.
I also looked at the link to your website and your work looks incredible.

http://www.starfoto.nl/ are the guys that print anything up to billboard size and bigger if need be. Prices are comensurate, of course. So their customer base consists primarily of advertising agencies, graphic studios, and outdoor media production companies.
But if you've got the money, hey! they can do it.
Shame their website isn't in English.

I have always been a traditional film photographer (35mm) but never really enlarged my pics beyond A4 size. I've always stook with film because I read that film can be enlarged better than digital pictures (yes, I realise the true massive enlargements are done using 4x5 but I am referring to 35mm specifically). But I'm confused because from what I have read in the last few months it seems that there is little difference with regards to enlargements between a 35mm negative and a 8MP digital photo. Is that true?

If so, hypothetically speaking, if I were to buy say a 6 or 8 mega pixel digital camera is it true that I would have as much feedom with regard to enlargments as I have currently with my 35mm film?

Thanks for any clarification you can give (I was going to start a new thread but I think it fits in well with this one?)

Any topic like this is totally subjective. There are going to be people who will laugh when you say 8mp rivals 35mm. There are some that say digital is better than 35mm.

You should look at some enlargements and compare for yourself. Digital and Film have a different look. Which one is better, is up to you.

To answer your question though, in my opinion, yes, 8mp photos can be enlarged to A4 and beyond with good results, when viewed from an appropriate distance. (the same as with 35mm)

I have been playing around online with the photo I am looking to be made into a canvas picture. Let me know which one you guys think is the best. Or make a suggestion on a different design.

This one, but not on canvas...

What would you recommend it printed on?

 

[Bubsie]

I like the photos and I think canvas is a good medium to print on. I have recently used a company called www.canvasrus.com I ordered a couple of days ago and its due to arrive next week. My picture didnt have any artistic effects but I think they do all sorts of different things with your photo. I will let you know what it is like when it turns up.

I like two and four

I like the First one. I have been playing around on the site now. http://photofiddle.com/ is really a neat idea. I ordered one of my favorite photographs as a painting.
