How To Pick the Perfect Photo

Follow these simple guidelines to ensure the best results for your Custom Paint by Numbers kit.

1. Image Quality Matters

• Choose a high-resolution photo with sharp details.
• Avoid blurry, pixelated, or compressed images, as they can lose important features when converted into a painting.

2. Close-Up Shots Work Best

• Photos where the subject is close to the camera provide the best detail.
• Distant shots can result in less clarity, making it harder to capture fine details in the painting.

3. Good Lighting is Key

• Opt for soft, even lighting to enhance details.
• Avoid strong backlighting, harsh shadows, or dark environments that can obscure features.

4. Choose the Right Canvas Size

Larger canvases capture more detail. Pick the right size based on the number of people in your photo:

• 1 Person: 12x16” (30x40cm) or larger – Ideal for portraits with clear facial details.
• 2 People: 16x20” (40x50cm) or larger – More space ensures both subjects are well-defined.
• 3+ People: 20x24” (50x60cm) or larger – Best for group photos, allowing enough room for details.

💡 Tip: Match your photo’s aspect ratio to the canvas for the best composition.
