\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>First things first. You have to pick the right picture for your art. Not every photo is usable from a technical perspective. The most important thing is finding a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/Online-Printing-Blog\/how-to-print-high-quality-photos\/\">high-quality photo<\/a>&nbsp;with great resolution. Whether your photo was taken with a phone or a digital camera. You should aim for different specifications depending on the size you want for your print.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Size<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Minimum Resolution<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Best Option<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/custom-postcards\/\">4 x 6 Inches<\/a><\/td><td>600 x 900<\/td><td>1200 x 1800<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5 x 7 Inches<\/td><td>750 x 1050<\/td><td>1500 x 2100<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>8 x 10 Inches<\/td><td>1200 x 1500<\/td><td>2400 x 3000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/poster-printing\/\">16 x 20 Inches<\/a><\/td><td>1440 x 2160<\/td><td>4000 x 6000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>20 x 24 Inches<\/td><td>1800 x 2160<\/td><td>5000 x 6000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If the photo you want to use is on your phone.  You can check the size, dimensions, and resolution by swiping up on the image in Android or opening the image in the iOS Files application for Apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many phones today are capable of taking photos up to 16 megapixels. So transforming a photo from your phone into wall art shouldn\u2019t be a problem unless you\u2019re using a device from the early aughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One quick tip to help you figure out if the image is usable is transferring it to an editing app and enlarging it to fit a much larger canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> If your image starts to blur and fuzz, it probably won\u2019t produce a good photo print in anything larger than standard letter sizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Edit_Your_Photo\"><\/span>Edit Your Photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"525\" data-attachment-id=\"17859\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/how-to-turn-photo-prints-into-art\/picture2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture2.jpg?fit=936%2C624&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"936,624\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Picture2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture2.jpg?fit=788%2C525&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/Online-Printing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture2.jpg?resize=788%2C525&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sport, Skating, Halfpipe, Skater, Skates, Skateborder\" class=\"wp-image-17859\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture2.jpg?w=936&amp;ssl=1 936w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture2.jpg?resize=350%2C233&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture2.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s pretty rare for the photo you take at the moment to be absolutely perfect. There\u2019s always a way that you can enhance the colors, change the lighting, or crop the image to really maximize the effect of the image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Editing your photo with professional software is one way to fix up your shot, but you can also do minimal editing on your phone as well. Simply click \u201cedit image\u201d on your phone to adjust the photo, overlay filters, play with lighting, and much more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many phones also offer an auto-editing feature that chooses the best changes for your photo at the touch of a button. These options might include Dynamic, Enhance, Black &amp; White Portrait, and Color Pop. They\u2019ll auto-adjust lighting, colors, and more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_an_App\"><\/span>Use an App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not an experienced photo editor and you\u2019ve never used PhotoShop before, there are a number of apps that make it easy to edit your photo beyond the basics provided by your phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can even completely change the look of your photo into something different. You can find apps that make your photo look like a watercolor painting or oil painting. Some apps simply add brushstrokes to create the feel of a handmade work of art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Convert your photo into an Andy Warhol pop art style piece or make it look like it was painted by Van Gogh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can browse your app store to find which ones offer free editing and which ones require a subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Print_Your_Photo\"><\/span>Print Your Photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"525\" data-attachment-id=\"17858\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/how-to-turn-photo-prints-into-art\/picture3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture3.jpg?fit=936%2C624&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"936,624\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Picture3\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture3.jpg?fit=788%2C525&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/Online-Printing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture3.jpg?resize=788%2C525&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Background, Woman, Room, Young, Girl, Interior, Photo\" class=\"wp-image-17858\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture3.jpg?w=936&amp;ssl=1 936w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture3.jpg?resize=350%2C233&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Picture3.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 788px) 100vw, 788px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You might think the hard part is over once you\u2019ve finished editing your photo. But printing the picture can be the most difficult decision. Depending on the style of your home, your personal aesthetic, and the edits you\u2019ve made to the photo, you have a ton of printing options to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Print on Wood<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Printing on a wooden plaque or board adds a whole new dimension and layer to your photo print. The color and grain of the wood often shine through the print and enhances the photo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wood prints can imbue your image with a little rustic charm. It is especially appropriate for romantic photos as well as images in nature. A close-up shot of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/best-wedding-brochures\/\">wedding<\/a> or the sunset fading behind your favorite tree is great candidate for wood prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Print on Canvas<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve transformed your image into a watercolor or oil painting, then canvas fabric stretched on a frame is the perfect material for your print. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The masters painted directly on canvas, and now you can print your image onto the same material! Canvas prints are typically about an inch thick and add a more substantial feel to your wall art than simple photo paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can print and frame at the same time with the help of your local 1-hour photo shop or screen print in higher quality and with more customization options at a professional print store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Print on Paper<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Printing on paper, as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/short-run-posters\/\">poster<\/a>, is a perfectly valid choice for turning your photo prints into art, and there are plenty of different options to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are matte papers and glossy papers as well as textured papers that imbue the final image with a cloth-like look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even the weight of the paper is important because you don\u2019t want to print on a flimsy piece that allows the colors to bleed. The most popular papers for wall art include smooth cardstock and heavyweight photo paper. Ordering paper samples can help you decide which type of paper is best for your print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-layout-flex uagb-block-05b14929 alignwide

frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right frame for your art can be a complex process that depends on the colors in the piece, the art\u2019s medium, and whether you want to cover the art with glass or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hang_It\"><\/span>Hang It<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t just throw a piece of art up on a wall and expect it to look right wherever you put it! There has to be a little thought and consideration of the piece itself as well as the most appropriate space for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might already have a vision in your mind of the best place for your photo print. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But does the spot have enough space for the framed or unframed piece? Will it be in direct sunlight that could degrade the colors over time? Is it hidden in a nook nobody ever sees?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carefully measure the space and make sure it shows off your photo to its best effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, double-check the hanging requirements for the canvas, wood, or frame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know how many nails you need and where they should be placed, measure again and leave light marks to guide you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no point in printing the most beautiful photo you\u2019ve ever taken and then hanging it crookedly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_to_Get_Started\"><\/span>Time to Get Started<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With these basic guidelines, you can convert photos into art quickly and easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you choose to work with a print and framing shop or do it all yourself, these tools will help you create high-quality, powerful art! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get started today and fill your home with all your favorite photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don\u2019t always have to buy someone else\u2019s art to beautify your home.
