First, you need to understand what a pixel is. In terms of , a pixel simply means a dot of color that makes up the image. A mega-pixel is equal to one million pixels. The more mega-pixels a camera has, the greater the amount of information it records.

The easiest way to decide what to look for is to know what size prints you are likely to print from your camera. A one mega- is fine for those who don't plan on printing photos but rather just post them on the internet. A small print, say 4 x 6, will print acceptably from this camera.

A 2 mega-pixel camera will enable you to produce good quality 5 x 7 prints and fair quality 8 x 10 prints. When you reach 4 mega-pixels you can print out excellent quality 8 x 10 prints and acceptable 11 x 17 prints and a camera will allow you to print out high quality 11 x 17 prints.

Most families find a camera in the 3.2 Mega- to be the best choice. The quality of both 5 x and and 8 X 10 prints is very good yet the files on your computer are not so large you need worry about not having enough space.

Any camera over 5 mega-pixels is unnecessary for all but professionals in photography; even then, only those who have need for poster-size prints find that many mega-pixels worth the money. Most freelance photographers find 4 or 5 mega-pixels to be sufficient for excellent-.

The choice is yours. Look to what you plan on doing with your photos and then decide. In most cases spending the money for increased optical zoom and lower mega-pixels is the best choice. http://www.reviews9.info ]]> How To Choose The House Blue Prints That Are Right For You http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-choose-the-house-blue-prints-that-are-right-for-you http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-choose-the-house-blue-prints-that-are-right-for-you#comments Fri, 04 Jan 2008 21:29:59 +0000 house blue printsreal jerkright from the beginninggreat sourceordealfirst personpriority http://www.artwoo.com/article/how-to-choose-the-house-blue-prints-that-are-right-for-you house blue prints that ultimately build your home is a choice you will live with day in and day out for as long as you live in the home.

You would pin or tape the paper down and begin drawing or drafting.

Drafting paper has a grid to help keep you aligned as you began you design. In CAD, there is a grid you snap to, or guides to keep you straight. We had hard plastic templates to draw curves. CAD has numerous tools to draw curves and lines. We had calculators to figure out distances and ratios. CAD does this automatically.

Overall, you can as replacing Drafting. CAD moved the same type of process into a more flexible and efficient environment. CAD has also helped out with networking of designs. Different designers and engineers can work on the same assembly in different parts at the same time. This team effort really moves the overall process along much faster.

However, as far as print reading goes, that is about the same as it was before. Drafting outputs prints and CAD outputs prints. A human still needs to be able to read them and make sense of them. A plus with CAD is that it is much more standardized and clear. Many times before, prints were unique to their maker. Similar to handwriting, you could not always figure out what the engineer wanted to convey to you. CAD cleans all that up.

CAD is the way we work today. I would be very surprised if you could come across a shop that has hand drawn prints. It just isn't practical.

For photographers, the benefits of are numerous. Canvas prints last longer than normal photo prints, are more durable, and are priced similar to the higher-quality photo printing and you likely utilize to display your works. But most importantly, canvas prints are unique and eye-catching.

Every photographer displays their work on normal printing surfaces in a frame. It's the common way to display works, and for most of the 20th century it worked just fine. Now, however, with digital cameras making everyone a self-proclaimed professional photographer it's important your work stands out from the pack, and you can do that by printing it on canvas prints.

Imagine, if you will, your gallery or the local store/café you sell your photos at. People see the photo in a frame, look at it, nod, and move on. With a canvas print, however, people will instantly be drawn to your work more than any other piece on the wall, because it's unique. Not only is it unique, it looks classier. Even if you only sell photos printed on photo paper and framed, canvas prints will draw people to your example and sample pieces much more readily than they would be drawn to any standard photography displays. Canvas prints draw the eye, and anyone who has ever seen one on the wall can attest to .

If you do decide to sell your prints, doing so will likely be cheaper than the cost of printing and framing a work. Because canvas prints are more durable than standard photos, and because they can be covered in lacquer to protect them, canvas prints are fine as-is, even outdoors, and require no extra money spent on custom framing. Not only will it be cheaper for you to produce your works on canvas than on paper, but you can pass the savings on to your buyers. Your work will stand out from the competition and look more artistic and professional, and it will also be available at a lower price. Sounds like a win-win situation, doesn't it?

Photographers aren't the only artists who can benefit from using canvas prints. If you're a painter (or inker), canvas prints make a fantastic starting ground for any works. By printing a background image (yours or public domain) and painting over it, you'll be able to mix the effects of printed (and real life) images and your own work. The result is an entirely unique display that most people have never seen, and it will be guaranteed to bring people to view your works. For those of you who have trouble coming up with backgrounds for more abstract pieces, printing pictures on canvas prints and painting over them also eliminates that little problem. The best part? People will always believe that you used the canvas print background as part of your artistic vision, and not because you didn't want to (or couldn't) take the time and effort to come up with a better background on your own. You can also create canvas prints of people you want to paint or sketch portraits of, and have a great starting base to work over for that lifelike look.

As you can see, canvas prints not only benefit the consumer, but even the producers of art can utilize canvas prints in ways which will help them succeed. The key is to start now before everyone finds out about it.ZaZaGallery - Our art is the buzz in our community.

These prints, I had found at the arts and crafts fair and had an idea that they would greatly increase the beauty of our living room. The prints were economical, but getting them custom framed was proving to be a very expensive issue. Make sure you do not shop for days for a picture frame, it is not needed.

I paid a visit to the local craft shop that provides . With the assistance of the clerk I brought the prints, chose mats and frames that complimented them well. After I returned home, it took just a few minutes of work and there I was- the prints right at my dining table!

Soon I found that the wall needed more. These prints were wildlife sceneries of our most liked state parks. Here is another great photography site http://www.photographyforfun.com. I went through the we had clicked on our previous visit and found too that were matching with the prints bought.

I got the photos enlarged at a camera shop. I again visited the craft shop providing picture framing supplies and shopped for matting and frames. Soon form the picture frame supplies I found a that helped highlight the photo colors pretty well. The double mat also went well with one I bought earlier.

The same clerk was at work. She thought that the earlier project of mine was successful and so I had returned for more stuff. I showed her the enlarged photos and told that I was intending to use them along with the prints. She said she was a great idea and complimented me for by doing the picture framing myself.

So I returned home and was again at my dining table in picture framing. In the end the photos resulted in an amazing decorative piece on the wall. We have now decided to use personal photos and do custom framing as a replacement of other decorative items in our house. Custom framing our own photos has resulted in we creating an great piece of art and that too at a very reasonable cost.

So, I was pretty surprised when the guy who would be working on my looked at me like I had just licked the bottom of my own shoe.

I had thought long and hard about what I wanted, and was ready for the house blue prints to be drawn so we could get this process moving.

We had established a budget, and within that budget, we had planned the square footage of our home. We weren't able to go above that budget, either.

So, my dream of escaping into my celebrity closet with the and the '' sign on the door came crashing down around my ankles. This is why.

Although I had established my wants before getting the house blue prints, I hadn't really thought about my needs.

If we would have gone with the closet size I wanted, including the other things we had to have, our bedroom would not have been large enough to accommodate our needs.

Still, I really wanted it, so I tried to convince my husband and the guy doing the house blue prints. I tried to compromise; however, they assured me that no contractor would build our bedroom around our bed.

My husband also refused to leave the same sheets on our bed for the , and hang our clothes in the .

We might have been able to squeeze our bed into the bedroom, but we would have had about an inch of room to walk around in.

When choosing house blue prints, the first thing you should consider is your family's needs.

We will show how to convert them into digital formats.

Paper Prints

Sizes 4X6 and 5X7. If they are kept too long, tend to lose their quality, the paper might turn yellow, bend and colors faded.

Slides

Are similar to negatives but projecting photos on large screen.

Negatives

Are processed film usually 35mm roll which hardly used unless to develop new paper prints.

Want to know how to convert all those from traditional paper and negatives to digital? This is easy to copy and a better way to keep the photos in the computer for long time. For amateurs try simple, easy and cheap methods. Professional photographers will spend time and money on this process scanning and requires different equipment.

Scan prints on a yourself, is a cheaper way, unless you want to send to a professional scanning service that will scan and them back the originals and a DVD with the digital scans. Sometimes, it's a risk to take, mailing the only hardcopy of your photos.

The Resolution is measured by the number of dots per inch, if you are going to scan it yourself. Usually the scanner can scan at 1200DPI or more. The higher the resolution the slower the scan and bigger photo file size. If the higher resolutions scan is at 300 to 600 DPI, you get better results.

When you buy a scanner check the scanning Speed, which is measured by number of scans per minute and check the speed at the DPI you're going to use. Speed is important if you are using more than hundreds photos. For better results, scan at the lowest resolution possible, 300-600DPI is good enough.

Photo feeding is not an issue if only small number, but for more photos make sure that the scanner is fast and easy loading. A good scanner will automatically load stacks of photos, feed and scan them for you.

and slides is harder than scanning paper prints, so a professional scanning service is easier and cheaper. Standard flat scanner will not be good enough; you need a film/slides scanner. Negatives and slides are high resolution sources and require scanning at higher DPI than paper prints. In this cases 2400DPI or higher should be used. So scanning home photo paper prints is good enough but scanning the source negatives is a not needed.

You can see how easy to photo paper prints by yourself rather than using professional scanning service. For a small investment, get an expensive automatic scanner which has all the functions to convert your original quality memories into digital format, for you and your children to enjoy.

Plus you can keep these photos stored safely on DVD hard drive or online where you can never loose them. And you can share your photos with the world faster then you can say cheese!

Anybody can obtain this equipment and start making prints right from their home. The days of worrying about the film running out and going top processing labs for taking prints are over!

Digital Photography Printing- Take Care of The Following Aspects

However, before you start taking prints from your newly acquired digital photography printing equipment, please keep the following tips in mind for better results. For good quality, digital photography printing you must ensure that the pictures are downloaded at their maximum resolution, which should be about 200-300 dpi for an 8x10 print. A 200 dpi is sufficient for large prints (13x19) that might be viewed from a distance but for a 5x7 print, 300 dpi would be necessary. There should be sufficient resolution for good quality digital photography printing. You would need at least 400kb (kilobytes) for a good 8x10 print.

If you work with JPEG file format, some image information might be lost in digital photography. It is advisable to make all the changes at one go and then save them at one time. The quality of digital photography printing depends to a large extent on the paper being used. You must use only recommended paper for the printer. As the good quality coated paper is quite expensive, it is advisable to complete all cropping and changes on the imaging software before giving the print command. For inkjet printing, the most durable paper is known as archival paper and it is acid-free.

For digital photography printing, regular color inkjet and laser printers might not be the best choice. If you want to print directly from your camera, you should use a printer, which is PictBridge-enabled. You can also use portable printers, such as the HP Photosmart 320 series to get 4x6 digital photography pictures anywhere. Dye-sublimation printers are good for smaller 4x6 prints but the paper and ink for these printers are frightfully expensive.

When you are printing larger than 8x10, you might not be happy with the results from your own digital photography printing. In such cases, you should use either one of the brick-and-mortar, or online photo labs.

Professional photo labs can carry out quality digital photography printing from the information on your memory card and as such, you can take your CD, digital camera or the memory card to them for getting quality prints.

That's why websites can be such a wonderful resource.

If you pick the right website, getting your prints will be as easy as snapping a picture with your digital camera.

The first thing to look for is a site that's focused on your needs, and not simply trying to sell you more cups, , t-shirts and other photo paraphernalia. That stuff has its place, but first and foremost you want to find a reliable photo printing provider, not a party planner. Hint: If the site is primarily focused on photo sharing, then they're likely going to help you the most with photo printing.

Be careful, though, when choosing a web site that seems solely focused on photo sharing. Sometimes those types of websites are too technical and tend to fall short of quality photo prints. The last thing you want is a website that makes it too hard to print your photos online. The best websites are the ones which allow you to easily upload your photos, choose your pictures in a few clicks and order prints.

Secondly, look for a site that will deliver the prints directly to your door. There's nothing easier than getting home from work, opening your and seeing the fruits of your in your hands. That's photo printing. If you have to stop by a store to pick up prints, you'll likely have to wait in line for your prints, and maybe even wait in line to pay! There's really nothing easy about that.

Another thing to look for is an easy process. Look for sites that give you the ability to upload entire folders of photos all at once. Then, photo printing is a simple matter - all you do is upload your photos from a party or vacation all at once, pick the ones you want to print, order, pay and wait for them to come in the mail.

Of course, a selection of print sizes is important for photo printing, but you don't want too many choices. Unless you are a professional photographer, or aspire to become one, don't get too caught up in trying to decide which print size is best. It's more important that you get your photos printed.

Finally, keep an eye on price. While it's important to pay a fair price for your photos, many providers lure you in with very inexpensive per print prices, only to increase the price on later orders. Also, the low per print price sometimes only applies to bulk orders of the same print.

The most important thing to look for is an photo printing service that understands how much you cherish your photos. After all, these are not just photos you are entrusting to them - these are your memories. And your memories are worth a lot.

With so many options available, it can be quite a challenge finding the right printer for you or your business.

Below is a list of things that our product specialists recommend our customers to look for when .

Print Quality: Lets face it, if a printer doesn't produce good-looking prints, than you might as well be drawing by hand. When looking at the specifications, check out the DPI () of the printer. The higher the DPI, the more accurate the printer will be, giving you better quality prints.

Another thing to consider is the printers color depth. The higher the color depth on a given printer, the more colors it can print. This in turn gives you prints that have much more .

Print Speed: Consider the PPM (prints per minute) that the printer can produce. The more prints per a minute a printer can produce, the faster its print speed is. If you plan on printing in a high volume on a daily basis, the print speed should be of especially high importance to you. Even if you don't plan on printing in high volume, the print speed could still be of importance as nobody really likes waiting for a single print.

: If you want to share the printer with family or colleagues, see whether or not the printer supports a wired or wireless connection. Some models are ready to connect to a wired or wireless network straight out of the box, while others support a network add-on that you can purchase if you want to use this feature later on.

Paper Capacity: If you plan on doing high volume of printing, you should consider the paper capacity of the printer. When a printer's paper capacity is large, it means you will have to re-fill the printer with paper less often, which is a great convenience.

Size and Weight: If you have limited space in the room you plan on putting the printer in, the size and weight of the printer should be considered. You should be able to put the printer in a location that is easy to access, and with a printer that is too big this might not be a possibility.

Definitions:

DPI (Dots Per Inch): A measure of the resolution of a printer, scanner, monitor, or mouse. It refers to the number of dots that are fit into a one-inch line. The higher the DPI, the more accurate the image/information will be.

Color Depth: Number of bits for each pixel in an image. The higher the bit depth, the greater number of colors there are. This is also sometimes referred to as bit depth.

PPM: The amount of prints a printer can produce per a minute.

Paper Capacity: Refers to the amount of paper a printer can hold in its tray(s).Buy Computer Electronics at DirSelect.com View More Articles at the DirSelect.com Learning Center Buy Printers]]> Epson Printer- A Must Have Accessory http://www.artwoo.com/article/epson-printer-a-must-have-accessory http://www.artwoo.com/article/epson-printer-a-must-have-accessory#comments Thu, 11 May 2006 12:32:03 +0000 epson printersinkjet printerslaser printerspoint of sale printersepson printerepson rangeepson website http://www.artwoo.com/article/epson-printer-a-must-have-accessory s offer good quality and a wide range to choose from.

Fond memories are linked to that little hand wrapping around a finger and squeezing the love into both the baby and the parent. Sooner than most parents would like, those tiny little hands grow up.

Of course, the baby's are also a source of amazement for most adults. Everyone has to see those precious little toes to see for themselves how perfect the bundle of joy is. Playing "this little piggy" with such cute little toes embeds the baby's perfection into the memories of each parent.

You can now save those precious memories forever. Not only do you have the footprints that the hospital made for you, but you can have a real three-dimensional of those perfect baby hands and feet. Several companies can help you preserve the memory of baby's perfection.

How can you tell if that art print that's caught your eye is more than just another pretty face?

Art prints are works of art in and of themselves, and may be handmade by artist-printmakers (artists' prints), digitally printed (giclée), or photomechanical (offset lithographs).

Artists' prints are handmade and are not reproductions of paintings: the print is a unique work of art. The term covers a range of such as etching, woodcut, engraving, screenprint and linocut. Editions tend to be less than 200, partly because the materials used to make the prints wear out. This type of print is sometimes called an "original print."

reproductions are multiples copies of the same , but produced in guaranteed limited numbers. This makes the image more exclusive. The market price can rise over time, if demand outstrips supply. Edition sizes vary but are limited by market forces, not by the physical constraints of the printmaking method. Most are signed and numbered in pencil by the artist with a commitment that no other reproduction of the image will be made.

An open-edition can be produced in any quantity and the image may also be used in other ways, such as on tableware. Open editions tend to cost less than limited editions and are much less likely to increase in value.

Giclée prints are made using digital printing technology, usually inkjet. The technology enables users to produce small runs of prints. It also allows retailers to offer 'print on demand' services, where buyers select an image and it is printed out there and then.

Several factors influence the price of art prints:

Artist and Rarity Certainly the name of the artist is a major contributor to value. But the art prints of even the same artist may have widely ranging prices. This added value is due to rarity. The more valuable print may be part of a limited edition run of only a few copies, while the more affordable from a larger open-edition run. But they are both original pieces of art by the same artist. It's a good idea to be well acquainted with the works of a particular artist and his or her peers as well. Research into an artist's place in the art world will help you ensure you're getting a good value.

Editions, Signatures and Seals Before the twentieth century artists did not routinely number nor sign their prints by hand. A signature can come from the plate but is not much of a value. What counts is an individual signature of the artist on the print, usually with a pencil (ink would eventually fade). Modern art prints are often numbered by the artist himself, i.e., "34 / 100" (number 34 out of an edition of 100).

Condition It's not unusual for older art prints to have some flaws. If there aren't any, check again! It might be a reproduction. While minor flaws such as slight soiling are considered normal, depending on age, other defects, such as trimming into the image or heavily faded colors, can reduce the value of a print considerably.

Quality of Impression Prints taken early from a plate or woodblock are more precise and detailed in lines than later impressions. Depending on the technique, a block/plate is worn out after a certain amount of impressions. Hardly more than 2,000 impressions could be taken from a woodblock without a rather visible deterioration of quality. Look to the numbering (i.e., 15 / 450) to determine what place in the run the print had.

Size Larger prints tend to cost more than smaller ones. This rule of thumb is less valid for older prints than for modern ones.

Provenance Provenance, or the item's ownership history, can influence value. Prints from a famous collection will usually yield a premium.

Subject Although a matter of opinion and personal taste, the subject of a print has a great influence on value. You'll pay more for cute animals, pretty women, nice landscapes, interesting portraits. Commercially non-appealing subjects are ugly, gloomy, or war-related, no matter how classically significant the work is. After all, it's being bought to put on the wall. People will pay more if they like the image.

In the end, it's your own opinion of the value of the print that matters the most. You'll be happiest with an art print that you personally like. Although art prints can sometimes be a good investment, the best way to get the most for your money is to enjoy it every day as it graces your home. The value of that? Priceless.
