For joining your images you can start using the automated photo merge tool and it will save so much time and you can adjust from there :) it is in I think file>automation>photo merge and I use the auto option and most of the time don’t need to tweak a thing :)
A couple of tips, even though I’m far from a pro. 1) Keep the camera fixed and move the image instead. That way, the light (and colours) and angle will be exactly the same for each photo. Which equals less editing. Ideally, use a spirit level to make sure the image is straight from above. 2) All monitors and screens have different settings. Test your screen (for example the laptop you use for editing) to see which brightness is closest to a finished print. 50% brightness is usually a lot closer than 100%. For me, 70% seems to be most accurate. If you don’t have your own printer, make a few versions and order a test print. For example, you can have 4 different settings on the same piece of paper. Remember to write what the settings are. Either on the print, or a separate piece of paper to use later.
Love that you took the time to show us your editing and printing process. I love your work! My daughters are creative so i want one of my daughters to know she could have a career in art, especially thanks to social media. This will be helpful to her.
So happy you got sponsored😊 I LOVE YOUR ART!! I hate that there are additional costs if I buy something from the UK now😢 I love your little art corner,very cute I would love to see your process of creating those colorful papers you work with😊
I really like the videos of your collage works, which have given me a lot of inspiration. I want to watch more videos about how you draw your collages paper. I also really want to buy your works. They are very cute, but I live in China and cannot buy them. I am very sad, but I will watch your videos more often
Hi, Em! Thanks for your video! Could you please suggest what I can do if my black ink is printing only on half of the page or in stripes (alternating black and blank lines). I have the same printer as you. And I tried cleaning nozzles…
Sorry but i watched your old video of your graphics a level book showcase and i've been struggling to choose whether to take graphics or art gcse (or maybe both) since i'm going to be choosing them in like 2 days so the pressure is on 😭. I know you were doing a level and its different than gcse, but i was hoping that maybe this would still help me. I'd be really grateful if you could answer some questions (but if you dont know, then thats completely fine!) : Which subject did you prefer, art or graphics? In graphics, did you draw more on paper or on computers? Do you recommend taking both art and graphics gcse? which subject was (fairly) easier? And in graphics, did you get to only do illustration since it was your main topic or did you have to do anything else?
So helpful to know all about photoshop! I was worried if i paid for just the photography one, that i wouldnt be able to add or remove textures and details. Im pretty poor, so will defo be going for the cheaper one 😅😄
Amazing reviews btw I am thinking of a getting a canon printer and so many options. I have a question I hope you can help - Do we need Photoshop to print this good quality or even print with this printer ?
It really depends! For this one I did as I knew I would need a lot of a very specific colour. But for smaller collages I usually have enough of the right papers in my ever growing stock pile. :)
Love your work!!! You could sell digital work like embellishments. I love the owls, the bees, the boats, etc. i know you offer a few stickers. i do scrapbooking (photo album pages) and i buy lots of papers, stickers, die cuts etc in stores but also digital designs - left up to me to size and print. Who wouldn’t love your art?! Yours is totally original unlike people who take free art and collage it into a new design. A lot of your art could be useful as photo page backgrounds….even the winter owl background. I am in Florida so no snow, haha. Would be more cost effective for you to offer digital also but i do understand you as an artist wanting to stay with your original pieces. Just an idea for you to expand the business & generate more income. Keep up the fabulous artwork! If you want some ideas on the scrapbook front, i have many.
I have been thinking about adding digital products to my store, especially things like greeting cards, but I never thought about downloadable stickers. Thanks for letting me know about them!
i have hard times with my printer settings, the colors of my digital drawings are always weird once printed 🥲 i guess its because of cmyk/RGB but idk how to fix it😭i hope ill find the right settings because making home prints seems better than just ordering your own art 😂thanks for this video !
Hi :) I see you posted this a few months ago, so maybe you've solved the issue, but in case you haven't, I thought I'd give you some tips. If your drawing is made digitally, there's a great chance you've used colors that simply cannot be printed, because of the cmyk/RGB difference you mention. This cannot be fixed in printer settings. If you outsource print production, some professional printers can handle these colors, but they tend to become very expensive. I'm not sure what program you're using to draw in, but if you're using Photoshop, you can set up your file from the start with CMYK color profile, instead of the default RGB if you know you'll be printing it. You can also convert to CMYK later, if you'll both be printing it and using it digitally. Here's a link I found about the process in Photoshop, maybe some of it is similar if you're using a different program: helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/color-modes.html I also found this page about getting digital art print ready, independently of program, but it doesn't say much about color profiles: www.lumaprints.com/blog/the-basics-of-getting-your-digital-art-printed/ Hope this helps, and good luck with your art pieces :)

Ohh lovely! I'll ahve tio try that out next time I'm editing as that will save me a lot of time!

Love that you took the time to show us your editing and printing process.

Aww lovely! Yeah there are so many art based careers out there, defiantly not how society makes it out to be :)
so stoked for this video, I have actually been searching for almost this exact video to start making my own prints. excellent timing :)
Yay! Glad to be of service :)
You should do a video how you do your paper it’s amazing!!
So happy you got sponsored😊
I LOVE YOUR ART!! I hate that there are additional costs if I buy something from the UK now😢
I love your little art corner,very cute
I would love to see your process of creating those colorful papers you work with😊
I'll be uploading a video soon where I show how I paint my papers! :)

Is the Canon paper clear on back so you can write on it like a greeting card?
So helpful to know all about photoshop! I was worried if i paid for just the photography one, that i wouldnt be able to add or remove textures and details. Im pretty poor, so will defo be going for the cheaper one 😅😄
So special and helpful.
Cool Canon printer
Your art is so pretty! 🩷 what is the name of the glue you use to paste on the print?
its a pritt stick :)
Thank you! 🌟
Amazing reviews btw I am thinking of a getting a canon printer and so many options.
I have a question I hope you can help - Do we need Photoshop to print this good quality or even print with this printer ?
Can we scanned and printed A3 watercolor artwork into A1 paper?
This is dope
When you prepare the collage papers do you paint the paper specifically for the project you are working on?
It really depends! For this one I did as I knew I would need a lot of a very specific colour. But for smaller collages I usually have enough of the right papers in my ever growing stock pile. :)
Love your work!!!

Are you using an ipad to edit and do everything or a mac book?
Respect.

If you use acrylic or oil instead of watercolour, your photo methods would not work as those mediums are more shiny.
