    FWIW, I got one of these in the last deal and am quite impressed with it. It was the first canvas I'd bought and I was worried about the level of detail that might be possible in the image, but it's better than I expected.

      I agree. I was pleased with the quality. It looks great above a bed, it's just the right shape and size.

      What was the resolution of the photo you used?

      • moooooooo on 10/01/2014 - 09:06

        3000 x 4000 pixels, taken with a 5MP camera

          If it were that resolution, it would be 12MP…

  • lovepub on 09/01/2014 - 17:57

    bit of waiting time…but this one is $49 if you dont mind wait a couple of weeks.
    Not sure if Big W does a better job printing and stretching.

      Plus $10 postage makes your $49 deal equal $59! Big W better as can pick up and inspect, and get remade if defective.

    what's the minimum resolution of photos so it doesn't look pixelated on a canvas this size?

    • victimized on 09/01/2014 - 18:24

      Would like to know aswell. atm i'm using a picture that's 5184 pixles width x 3456 pixels height.

      And it looks slightly blurry, but im not too sure.

    • sane on 09/01/2014 - 18:54

      When it's printed on canvas it will look a little blurry anyway (texture of the canvas). Besides that I'd say you were looking for about 150dpi as a sensible minimum - which at 40" width gives you 6000 pixels wide, plus a bit for the depth and mounting.

      That's the kind of resolution I've used before when printing on canvas, and its worked fine.

      • victimized on 09/01/2014 - 18:56
        +2

        Aw damn, anyone know where to find 6000 pixel wide images? Trying to look for black & white city photos (so cliche).

        • muncan on 09/01/2014 - 19:10

          Add imagesize:6000x3000 to a Google images search

        • rawm on 09/01/2014 - 21:07

          Would be great if anyone can link to relevant hi res (free) images!

        • muncan on 09/01/2014 - 21:26
          +2

          Use my advice above to find high-res images like this one

          Alternatively, if you have an iPhone 4S or above you can shoot up to 38MP using the panorama feature in the built-in camera app in iOS 6 and above.

        • rawm on 09/01/2014 - 21:56

          cheers, works!

        • The Gent on 10/01/2014 - 04:23

          What kind of images are you looking for?

        • sane on 10/01/2014 - 12:14

          Just an idea, but if you have an appropriate Android phone then the photosphere camera mode spits out pretty damn good panoramas with very little effort, particularly with KitKat and the recent improvements.

          Portrait orientation, then snap five images in a horizontal line and you have an instant high res shot. If you want a taller shape, just add extra snaps to it.

          If you go the whole hog you can get a 360 deg shot as a panorama (eg http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/articles/73441-thumb/goog… )

    • Thaal Sinestro on 09/01/2014 - 19:09

      To avoid pixellation or blurriness, make sure your image has at least 200 pixels per inch of print size (300 dpi is best). For this resolution, at 300 dpi, that would be a whopping 72 MP file!!! I own a great, high quality photo upsizing program called Benvista Photozoom. You could try the demo version, but some graphic programs watermark their output. Or you could download the "free" torrent version. Or if you upload the image to a file hoster, I could upsize it for anyone who is interested. Also, you probably want to apply additional sharpening after upsizing.

      Since you are folking out $60, you want to see optimum results.

      • Gnostikos on 09/01/2014 - 20:12

        Thankyou for mentioning Benvista Photozoom; never thought there'd be dedicated image resizing programs but Photoshop just doesn't cut it sometimes with low DPI images. I'll give it a go.

  • muncan on 09/01/2014 - 19:22

    Bear in mind people, this is canvas, not a Retina display.
    You don't really need 20MP+

    • m2000 on 09/01/2014 - 19:33
      +1

      Yes I agree! You're mainly looking at a distance (a few metres?) just depend on where you intend to put it)
      Saw a few done just from normal 12-15 megapixel photos, quality is fine (obviously your original need to be good/sharp..,)

    • GregFiona on 09/01/2014 - 19:36
      +2

      true, the images will look just a bit blurry if you look at them from >1m distance, but since it's a huge canvas viewing them from >2-3m is going to be just fine! In the last 3-4 months I have purchased 4 big size canvases from snapfish and photobox. The photobox ones look sharper than snapfish but the color is a bit off and there is a lot of black detail missing.The snapfish ones look perfect from > 2m distance.

      BTW: the pic of the deal is not a 50x100cm canvas but a "more" panoramic ratio

    • moooooooo on 09/01/2014 - 19:43

      In my first comment I mentioned I was happy with the output. It's a 5MP image so by all accounts should not look any good but I view it from 2-4m in its location. I wouldn't want to view it from 20cm regularly but that's true for pretty much any item in the house.

    • Halc on 09/01/2014 - 21:07

      yeah 300dpi sounds a bit excessive.. i'm not going to hold a meter wide canvas 10cm from my face like my phone after all :p

    • bargdebarg on 10/01/2014 - 05:49

      Most sensible comment yet. I had one printed from a cropped 12mp photo taken on an entry level dslr last year. Quality is good. Up close, you can see a little fuzz but this totally disappears when you view it properly

  • unity1 on 09/01/2014 - 19:46

    I Haven't had any printed from BigW but have used the fabness deals when they pop up $49+10 shipping for same size.
    Quality is very good. The max size they allow or it seems to me is 15mb jpegs.
    I'm using a Nikon D800 files which are large so I find myself reducing the size and usually end up around the 5000px mark on the long end always at 240dpi.

    You can't go wrong. For reference I have printed from a D700 with great results too.

  • Hoju on 09/01/2014 - 21:50

    Wow. Perfect timing thanks OP.

    Any thoughts on how this might go with a scanned image? I have a book of an artists work. Can't afford originals but if I could scan a painting from the book and print it like this it would be great.

      There are cheap flights to NZ so you could buy a house there. Cheaper because it's a third world country? ;-)

  • darian on 10/01/2014 - 00:54

    I think BigW must pass images thru a filter if they are greater than 300dpi and then scale them: I had a sharp image I created that was 16,000x7,200 pixels at 600dpi that I had printed on two 12"x18" prints during the last special and the print turned out blurrier than the original.

    It's still okay, but nowhere near as sharp as from an inkjet printer at 1:1 resolution.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2014 - 04:51

      600dpi is a bit silly for a 12x18in

      72dpi would be enough for such a small print

  • Hoju on 10/01/2014 - 08:33

    I see that these are stretched over a wooden frame.
    Does anyone know if it would be possible to take it off the wooden frame and frame it as if it was a painting?
    Or would it just bounce back like pizza dough and end up being all distorted/wrinkled?

    For anyone after canvas prints in other sizes, the Fabness deal bbourizk mentioned is on again: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/130007

    They have the same price as this deal, but will be shipped to your address for the same price as in-store pick up. They also have a bunch of other sizes if you don't have panoramic proportion photos you want printed. If anyone has tried both services, maybe they can comment on differences of Big W to Fabness?

  • Twisty on 10/01/2014 - 11:04

      Use some sort of photo collage maker, there's plenty online. It's also pretty easy to do in MS paint, just make a custom size like 12000x6000 and paste in resized photos. Save it as a .tif and probably a jpg/png as well incase they don't support tif.

      Hi Twisty, see the Fabness deal also on. It's the same effective price as this deal for that size, but they also offer less wide aspect rations as well (at differing prices). May suit your photos more.
