FAQ

General Service
  • We transform your photo image file into a DIGITALLY PAINTED work of art.
       The digital artist has at their disposal several tools not available to the traditional painter. Some of these include: a virtual palette consisting of millions of colors, almost any size canvas or media, the ability to take back mistakes, erasures, pencils, spray cans, brushes, combs, and a variety of 2D and 3D effect tools. Digital painting software give artists a similar environment to a physical painter: a canvas, painting tools, mixing palettes, and a multitude of color options.
  • We do not accept negatives or physical photographs.
Photo Questions
  • What image file format should my photographs be?
    We accept most digital image files but we recommend you to send your picture in .jpeg or .tiff formats.
  • What kind of images work best?
    The images should be high-resolution. 180 dpi (dots per inch) is a good minimum. Images that are 2 MB (1600 x 1200 pixels) will work fine for most artwork. Other sizes could also work.
  • You can check the file size by right clicking on your image, then, click on properties, where the size will be displayed. Images that are 2 meg or higher are great. Images under 2 meg but higher than 0.5 meg are usually workable, depending on what style of artwork you would like and how large you want the final product to be.
