From Photoshop to Art Gallery

Posted by Alina Bradford Jan 27, 2008

I love to create paintings with Photoshop and Corel. There's something about creating with my Wacom pad I just love. The problem, though, is that all these great paintings are stuck in my computer and can't be hung on the wall.

I was kind-of depressed about the situation until I learned about the company imagekind.com. They take digital images and print them on the canvas of your choice, and even frame them, then they ship them to you.

I was skeptical about the quality, but I tried it anyway.

I took a painting that I created with Corel and downloaded it to the site. Then I picked what dimensions I wanted it to be, and then picked a frame. I got the painting about a week later.

Wow! It looked like I had painted it right to the canvas. I showed it to my husband and he couldn't even tell the difference. The framing was very professionally done and came complete with a wire hanger.

I am really impressed and thought I'd share my experience with other artists out there wanting to make their digital works more "real."
