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.

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, .gif, or .tiff formats.
  • What kind of images work best?
    The images should be high-resolution. 100 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.
  • How large of a file can I upload?
    If your photo is up to 20 MB, then upload your photo by email as attachment.
    If your photo is more then 20 MB, contact us for assistants.

  • What is the smallest size image I can use?
    We require an image that is at least 1 Megapixel.
    When you order any work of art we will always provide you with an example proof of the photo cropped to your exact size specifications.
  • How Big Can I Print My Digital Picture?

  • How big you can print your digital picture depends on the number of "pixels" in your digital picture file. Pixels are the "dots" of color that make up your digital picture. The greater the number of pixels, the bigger you can print your image with quality results.

    Finding the Pixel Dimensions of a Digital Picture
    You can find the pixel dimensions of your digital picture by opening it in your favorite image viewer program and then finding the image properties in your program's menu structure. Alternately, you can also find your dimensions in these ways:

    • Windows - Locate the image using Windows Explorer. Click your right mouse button on the image file name, and then choose "Properties" from the menu. Go to the "Details" tab. The dimensions will be listed there.

    • MAC - use the finder to locate your image. Click on the image name in the finder. The image and information about it will display. The last line of the file information is the image dimensions.
