Article Category: Shopping

Author Name: chickie maxwell

If you want your canvas photos to appear painted, you need to download software called GIMP photo-editing. Any image or photo can be moved to a sheet of canvas paper and will seem as if it were painted. After the transfer, you can place the canvas above a wooden frame and then place it inside an ornamental frame. You can then display this in your living room or your bedroom and it shall appear like a real painting. Here are the detailed steps on how to make canvas photos look painted.

Once you have downloaded your GIMP software, start it to make canvas photos appear painted. Go to the "File" menu and open the digital picture by clicking on the "Open" button. Choose the picture you want and then press the "open" button again. Afterwards, go to the menu that says "Filters" so as to open GIMPressionist. Proceed to the menu item that says "Artistic" and from the sub-menu, choose "GIMPressionist".

Once you have opened GIMPressionist, go to "Presets" and press "Canvas". Press the button that says "Brushes" and choose the kind of brush you prefer for the painting style you want. You can select either the brushes "Paintbrush" or "Crayon" as these provide a realistic appearance to the photo. Press the "Update" button to check how the effects of these brushes are. This button can be found under your image's thumbnail.

The next step would be to press the button that says "Relief" which is below the tab that says "Brushes". By sliding the button to the right, you will produce several layers of broad coatings of paint. In sliding the button to the left, you will create a flatter look. After these appearances, you need to choose the density of the brush stroke by pressing the "Placement" tab. To achieve thicker and wider strokes, glide the button to the right, and to have smaller strokes, glide the button to the left.

after you are contented with the image, press the button that says "OK" and save it by going to the "File" menu. When you print the canvas photo, transfer it onto a transfer sheet or iron-on decal which is appropriate for canvas. take note that the surface of the canvas fabric cannot be seen through a decal therefore you need to use a "canvas" filter to the picture.

You can download GIMP software for free and use it on your PC computer or Mac computer. You can also go to a printing company that is an expert in transferring images to canvas and making them look painted. This company can also create big-sized images that cannot fit an inkjet printer.

With the modern technology of the present times, you can have a canvas painting of your favorite picture. Such canvas photos will look as if they were painted by a professional using these tips given.
