Buying prints

jthomas

Can anyone help me with ordering prints?

I have uploaded a photograph of an oil painting, and I want to have it printed on canvas in 16 x 20 size. My question concerns the "wrapped" vs "rolled" option.

Under the "wrapped" option, it says: "The canvas is wrapped around a wooden frame with part of the photo visible on the sides of the frame". Does this mean that some of the image is lost if it is then put into a frame? If so, how much?

If the plan is to frame the picture before hanging would the rolled option be better?

I think I've answered my question with additional research.

Example is posted here if anyone else is interested.

Hi, more info:

Wrapped:

Rolled:

And from Bay Photo (pro accounts only) you can get stretch/staple, or canvas board mount - ready to frame.

These visuals should answer your questions, holler with more!

Thanks, Andy. I've already concluded that the rolled option is better for my end use.

Photoshop Plugin
For those with PS, you can get a nice plugin call Fractals that can take care of this. You can add 1 1/2" (or whatever size you specify) to all four sides of your photo so you won't lose any of your image. You can stretch it or reflect it.
