The process of putting photos onto canvas is a lot like putting photo’s onto paper only they use larger tools and more specialized chemicals. I think they even put a special coat of film on the canvas to maintain the pictures seamless quality. Their is also some sort of a coating process done after the picture is complete to protect the picture from fading. photos onto canvas really look amazing and bring out the class in the picture. Even a seemingly benign picture can really be brought to life and energy in a canvas picture process. It is an expensive process but worth every penny.
