Photoshop is the de facto standard for image editing and manipulation.  As such, it’s also EXPENSIVE, and it’s overkill for common jobs, such as fixing red-eye or cropping and resizing images.

But did you know that now you can use Photoshop online, for free?  And that’s not all–they’ll even give you 2 GB of storage for your favorite images!

Check it out here: Photoshop Express Online

Next time you need to adjust an image quickly before submitting it to SignsToday.me as part of a print project, this could be just the tool you need!

I’ve got news for ya–the picture frame is dead.  Well, maybe not completely dead yet, but it’s on life-support and the doctors all have grim looks on their faces!

Today, there are many more unique and visually striking means of displaying your favorite digital memories available.  Here are 5 of my favorite ways to turn boring old photos into conversation pieces:

1.  Turn ‘em Into Stickers and Decals!

Everybody loves stickers–wouldn’t it be neat to seal birthday party invitations with the honoree’s baby picture?   Or get a giant removable wall decal made of your son or daughter playing their favorite sport (just like the pro athelete decals you see advertised all over TV)!  The possibilities are endless with just a little imagniation and creativity!

2. Create a Custom Vinyl Banner!

Transform your favorite family photo into an eye-catching vinyl banner to display at your next family get-together!  Durable and reusable, these banners might just become treasured family heirlooms themselves!

3.  Make a Personalized License Plate!

We’ve all seen those cheap, air-brushed license plates on display on the front of vehicles.  But why settle for that, when you could have a full color, custom printed license plate created even more cheaply?  Put your honey’s picture on it, or a family photo, and display your love for all the world to see!

4.  Make a Custom Poster!

Got a great landscape shot stuck on your memory card?  Turn it into an inspiring and beautiful poster so that you and the world can finally admire your photographic talents!  Also great for remembering special events–from the state playoff game to your child’s graduation!

5.  Transform Your Photo into a Work of Art by Having It Digitally Printed to Canvas!

This may be my favorite–have your photos printed directly to canvas and they will look as if an expert artist painted them just for you!  These will definitely inspire envy in your guests, and make extra-special gifts as well!

I’m sure you’ve thought of at least a few photos you’d like to transform as you read this.  So get started right now at SignsToday.me–your digital printing specialists!

Convert Your Images Into Vector Graphics Online with Vector Magic

As you may or may not know, when uploading your own artwork for printing as part of your design at SignsToday.me, you should pay attention to the size of the print area and the physical dimensions of your artwork.  A tiny .gif or .jpeg simply cannot be stretched large enough and maintain the quality of the print for say, a large canvas print.

However, sometimes the perfect image is in an unscalable format, and you’d like to enlarge it, but maintain the original quality of the image.  Well, great news–vector graphics were created to solve just this problem.  A vector graphic (common file extensions are .svg, .eps, and even .pdf) can be resized to any dimensions with virtually no loss of quality of the image.  Thus, they are commonly used in the printing industry.

So, how do you convert your .gif, .jpg. or .png into a vector graphic?  If you don’t have access to an expensive graphics program, such as Adobe Illustrator, this could be a tricky problem.  You could always ask your printer to convert the file for you, but this could entail extra charges.

Fortunately, the easiest and best-quality way I’ve found is to use an online tool called Vector Magic (http://www.vectormagic.com).  You simply upload your image, and it’s automatically converted to a high-quality vector graphic, suitable for any use!  And the quality of the vector images is generally pretty amazing–it performs better than Illustrator’s Live Trace function in my opinion.

It’s not free (although, they were offering 2 free uses with the creation of a free account–not sure if this still applies), but it could be a lifesaver if you need to transform a 2 inch square logo into a 10 foot wide canvas banner by tomorrow!  Very cool stuff, indeed!

The new year is typically a time we all make resolutions to do the things we wished we had done all year long, but somehow never found the time to do.  It’s a time to focus on those things that we push into the backs of our minds, telling ourselves, “I’ll do it tomorrow,” knowing that tomorrow will never come!
