Print Your Facebook Photos On A Large Canvas With CanvasPop

With our mobile devices’ cameras improving year in, year out, and supplementary apps making editing and manipulating easy for essentially anyone to master, social networks from Facebook to Flickr see billions of images uploaded to servers each year.

As such, the potential for revenue stretches way beyond in-app purchases and subscription models, with many apps now offering print services for those special snaps. Hipstamatic for iOS is a prime example – offering various different lenses and printing services to give its cult following a very retro, vintage snapping experience on their digital devices.

If you’re thinking a little bigger than a few more pocket photos, though, you may want to consider CanvasPop. The service allows you to upload photos from Instagram, Facebook, or your hard drive, and turns them into a canvas ready to spice up a big blank space on your wall.

Many Facebook users end up with thousands of photos, so CanvasPop serves as a great way to single out those favorites and give them a little more meaning than simply making up the album numbers. The service has been around for a while, but up until now, hasn’t had Facebook support, instead catering for desktop images as well as those of the insanely-popular Instagram – fast approaching 30 million users.

Some pictures simply cannot be appreciated on the small screen, and need a bigger platform from which to shine. In such cases, CanvasPop is a great solution, allowing those images most memorable to be blown up and placed in a more sacred location than 43rd position of a 212-photo album. Of course, by using the term "blown up", many of you will envisage pixelated, blurry shots due to the down scaled nature of Facebook images. Fortunately, CanvasPop’s forte is image upsizing, and the company uses special technology to ensure the finished article is nothing short of perfection.

Similarly to the Instagram experience, you can add your own filters to the image before finalizing your order. There are a range of sizes available, from 8 x 10 to 24 x 72, and prices start at a modest $30 – stretching to $419 for the largest.

Here’s a video complied by CanvasPop, which demonstrates how the service works.

Sample Photos Taken From The New iPad’s 5 Megapixel Shooter

Although the iPad has been a revolutionary product since the first iteration dropped some two years ago, it has, in the eyes of many, taken a backseat to the Cupertino company’s smartphone.

When the iPad 2 dropped last year, many consumers were left a shade disappointed by the new screen – or specifically – a lack thereof. The cameras added gave the impression that Apple had decided the iPad would benefit from snappers, but didn’t have the resources to keep them of the standard consumers had become accustomed to with the iPhone 4.

Thankfully, the speculation leading up to the release of the new iPad was exactly on-point, and Tim Cook’s company has delivered a truly spectacular 5 mega-pixel snapper which will leave photos looking exquisite on the all-new Retina display.

Apple has showcased some of the images featured in the keynote speech on its website, along with a couple of videos; all of which are downloadable. There’s one of a ladybird, one depicting a beach, another of an old ship as well as an excellent shot of a border collie, check them all out below:

The iPhone 4 and 4S have both had stints as the camera of choice on Flickr, the popular image social. With Apple’s claims today that smartphone, desktop and notebook owners all prefer to use their iPads for the majority of tasks such as e-mail and web browsing, don’t be surprised to see the iPad camera become a hit with the budding photographers now the specs have been brought up to scratch.

There has been much talk of the "Post PC" era, and although it’s becoming a somewhat overused and vague term, Apple leads the way in the evolution of the tablet market. The new device covers photography, improves gaming, connectivity, and the new processor means tasks can be completed in a smooth and streamlined fashion.

Those of you looking to purchase the new device – you’d better make sure you have your preorder in place, pronto! In the meantime, feel free to drool over the sort of images you’ll be able to take, as of next week!
