Relive those wonderful moments captured in your digital photos by turning these into great looking posters. You can use these poster prints to decorate your living room or even your office. You can also use them as giveaways to your family and friends. Who wants their digital photos to end up as wallpapers anyway? Here are some tips on how you can turn your digital photos into posters.
How to Create Posters from your Digital Photos
Check the Resolution.
For best poster printing results, make sure that your digital photos have a resolution of 300 dpi. This is to ensure that the images in your photos remain in high quality when enlarged to posters. You can also manage and edit your digital photos’ resolution using image editing tools like Adobe Photoshop and GIMP.
Upload it on a Template.
Use templates to avoid your photos getting cropped or fitted to your unintended size. There are several online printing sites that offer free templates. These templates come with bleeds and guides so that resizing and cropping your images will be a piece of cake. Certainly, you don’t want your precious portrait get chopped off, right?
Make sure your file is saved in the correct format.
Save your poster design into a print-ready file after you’ve made the final changes. The common file types that printers accept include .JPG, .PDF, .PSD, .AI, .EPS, .TIFF and .PUB, among others.
Look for a reliable printer.
Buy a printer that not only meets your expectations but exceed these as well. A good printing company provides you an online proof for free assuring you of quality, which allows you to preview your design before it is printed. A good printing company also provides you with complete information about your printing project. That way, customers have instant access to printing and layout resources.
Whether it’s a digital photo of you and your family on vacation or a party with your friends, you can always preserve and relive that moment with posters.
