A couple of weeks ago I received an offer from the folks at Photofiddle to try out their service. All you have to do is upload a high-res photo and their computer system will render the image in several different effects from watercolor to pop art style. One you make your selection, they print your image on canvas or archival photo paper. You can also order the prints to be framed or stretched on a frame. Sizes from 8″x10″ up to 70″x 280″.
I sent them two different photos:
View of Paris rooftops from the Printemps department store café
From Maison et Objet 2008 – WR Collection stand
And here are some of the options I received:
Although I was very tempted to order the bust photo rendered as a colored pencil sketch, but I decided to go with the city of Paris photo as oil painting.
And here it is, printed on canvas mounted on stretchers:
Thanks Photofiddle!
I’d been toying with sending Photofiddle a few of my fave photos. Now, I’ll definitely give them a try. Thanks
Hi Barbara – i was really impressed!
