Now that I had my idea for his gift it was time to look at my options for canvas prints. I wanted to find an image that would give my poker loving cousin something to smile at every time he looked at the print. This meant taking some time and looking through my digital images. I also had access to a scanner which meant that I could use my hard copy images and scan them in to my computer so that they can also be used. If you have friends or relatives you can contact that might have pictures contact them as well - don’t limit yourself to just the pictures on hand. You can also download digital images of famous poker games very inexpensively from various websites. If your poker player talks about a famous game in poker history, this would be a great way for them to remember it.

Once you have decided on an image, you can upload it to the Canvas Press site and make some modifications if you need to. Cropping is available as well as the ability to change the color scheme to black and white. The next important step in the process is choosing the size of the canvas. In order for the image to be a great gift, your photo to canvas print will need to be in a usable size for the amount of space your poker lover has in his or her home. My cousin, for example, has a tiny apartment but nothing on the walls, so I picked a size that would look good in his living room. Once you complete the process and check-out, all you have to do is wait for your image to be delivered to your door. It’s fast, simple and a great way to give a truly unique gift.
