Choosing The Right Style Of Photo Montage

Feb. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- It can incorporate digital photos and even scanned photos to give a personalised display that is truly personal to you and it can be given as the ideal gift or kept for yourself. Once you've chosen the photos, you can also decide on the style of photo layout that is used – overlapping, photo frame, or collage. For an even more unique touch you can have a filmstrip montage created and a montage can be added to many items besides incredible quality HD Satin. http://www.photo-canvas.com/photo-collage-montage.aspx

Choosing Photos To Create A Montage

A standard photo montage print typically contains between 6 and 16 photos but the quality of HD Satin that the montage is printed on is such that you can create a photo collage using miniature pictures and still enjoy excellent results. Family montages look very effective and are bound to be appreciated by everybody at home. Wedding montages or anniversary montages are great gifts for the happy couple, while a romantic Valentines montage makes a beautiful, loving, and heartfelt gift.

Digital Photos Or Scanned Photos

While many of us have an abundance of digital photos either left on our camera or uploaded to our hard drive, it is also usual to have old paper 6' x 4' prints from various events and times in our life. While digital photos do generate the best looking results, it is possible to scan and use your own photos or send them in and have a professional team scan them for you. Using a professional to scan your images ensures that you enjoy the best results.

Printing A Montage On Canvas

The canvas print montage is the most popular item for using a montage or collage. It is available in a range of standard sizes and bespoke dimensions can also be made to order. While the size of the photos you use will ultimately determine the number of pictures you use, larger canvases obviously work better with more pictures. This also leaves you the option of what style of canvas to use to get the best results.

Overlapping – Overlapping enables you to use every bit of space on the canvas and is perfect if you have a number of pictures of the same size. The corners of pictures will overlap other pictures in order to create a more blended and better looking effect.
Photo Frame – The photo frame look utilises a picture in the background and your choice of photos are printed in photo frame style borders with a gap between each one. A good looking effect for any type of picture.
Collage – The collage uses a large number of photos in a single design and each one is printed very small on the canvas. This effect works so well because of the use of the tight HD Satin canvas and can be a superb centrepiece for any wall.
Filmstrip Montage – The filmstrip montage is another unique design. Choose between three and nine photos and these pictures are printed on the HD Satin canvas, but they also include a filmstrip style border printed around them. This method is very effective when all the pictures you include are based on the same theme or are of the same person.
