How to Create a Mirror Wrap for a canvas print in Photoshop

In this how-to tutorial, I show you how to create a gallery wrap for a canvas print in Adobe Photoshop. Rather than lose any of the front face of the photo being wrapped around the canvas frame, we mirror the 4 edges to create the file to send to the printer. This gallery wrap technique is a simple method to prepare your photo, ready to send to your printer for canvas printing avoiding that horrible stretched edge look and instead mirroring the front face in a much more pleasing result.

The second half of the video addresses the photoshop canvas wrap effect and how to create the canvas mirror wrap and the first part discusses the process I go through to check an image is actually print-ready. In this case, it involves removing unwanted elements with Photoshop's spot healing brush tool (what a great tool this is by the way!), and a little bit of liquify on the clothing. I also discuss the potential pitfalls of using liquify in a heavy-handed manner on your clients!

1) prepare the photo by removing distracting elements that become more visible when the photo is enlarged

2) Resize the image to the size of the canvas print (front face only) without resampling the pixels

3) extend the canvas by 4cm on each edge

4 copy and flip first horizontally, and then vertically the image and slide each edge into position.

5) (Optional) add your logo or signature.

6) Convert to sRGB or Adobe RGB depending on your printer's preference. Save, and upload to your printer.
