I have a shoot scheduled Monday for a client who is asking about a large canvas print. Large enough to jang over her fireplace. It will be a portrait of her three children.

I have never ordered a canvas print or any print that large. My question is.....

Is there anything special I need to do in preparing the file? I use a Canon XTi that is a 10 megapixel camera. Is that enough info to print something that large on canvas? Or what is the max size I can offer her?

    Make sure to zoom out far enough because the print wraps around the frame
    sides. Be sure to review this.

    Jeff,

    I recently ordered a 24x36 mounted canvas print from a 20D, which has less mega-pixels than an XTi. The result was amazing.

    Follow this tutorial and you shouldn't have a problem.

    Cheers,
