Title: Cat pic printed on canvas
Post by: peejay1977 on November 26, 2011, 11:44:30 AM
Hey all, anyone ever had it done? Me and my other half were considering it for one of our daughters Xmas presents, she's so in love with Portia and with her staying with us at the moment I can see how much she loves her, she's 14 and getting on a bit so thought now would be a good time to take a decent pic and have it printed up large scale for her? Wha'dya reckon?

Haven't had it done but I'd be thrilled to receive one as a gift so think you should go for it! Portia is gorgeous so I'm sure she'll look great on canvas  :Luv:

Had it done today, should get it back on 7-10 days, 30 frickin quid though, still it'll be worth it to see the look on her face :)

What a nightmare I had, had it done at Max Spielman but due to there ridiculous software it came back wrapped over the edges so it cut her ears and paws off so I was fuming especially since I specifically chose the option to have a white border so the whole photo would be on the front.

Went to Asda and they couldn't do it with a border, although they couldnt tell me why, they suggested I photoshop it and add my own border but couldn't tell me what size  >:(

In the end I paid the thick end of £50 and had it done by Photobox who were great, this is how it looks, I'm very pleased :)

That's a fab picture! And thanks for discussing your efforts with asda/max s, so photobox come out with the best canvas then. We've just had a pic of our kids done by you-frame dot com. The quality was pretty good and they discussed with us where it would be cropped. Very impressed with your pic though!

It looks amazing  :wow: excellent gift!
But the good quality photo will have also helped with the great finish  :)

I think Gill is right - Misty is wanting her big modelling break too....!!  :evillaugh:
She's looking at the computer with a "its all about Portia.. :yawn 2: when I'm soo pretty too  :P" look on her face....haha bless  ;)
