- How to create a gallery-style mirror wrap in Photoshop. We'll resize the photo correctly for you canvas print, mirror the 4 edges and then optimize the image quality before exporting with the best settings for print.
If you're working with low resolution photos or images with a lot of noise I'd recommend checking out the topaz suite. In particular bit.ly/gigapix... is and absolute god-send for upscaling our photos and optimizing the quality. I'm still blown away how pixilation is removed, details are added and nasty digital noise is eradicated. It's my secret weapon in large format print preparation! If noise is a real issue then bit.ly/denoise-ai is worth checking out too, and if optimum image quality is important to your workflow, bit.ly/TopazPh... combines the best of Topaz's AI, upscaling, denoise and sharpening!
Regardless of image quality I'll show how to create the canvas wrap and the settings you'll need to export your photo for the printer. Thanks for watching!

In spite of Photoshop's Generative Fill technology, this is still the best method. Why? Because Gen tools currently have a 1024x1024px limit before upscaling is applied. This means for a canvas print where a higher resolution is necessary generative content is going to be too scaled up and blurry. Yes, it's on the sides of your finished canvas, but the difference in resolution stands out like dogs balls. Stick to the mirrored approach for now for best results.
This was really helpful. Thank you. :)
Great Vid thank you - I have a landscape shot I did of Kapiti Island at sunset and was considering putting it on canvas, the tutorial is perfect to help me achieve that
Simple and straight forward, just what I like! Thanks.
Thanks for the great video. What is your opinion of using the new Generative Fill in Photoshop Beta to make the wraparound?
You'd think generative expand would be perfect for this, however, due to the current pixel count limit of gen tools you're going to end up with a greatly scaled up border which really isn't going to print well.
great video
Thanks!
Very good video what's the best format to save my photos for print my printing purposes shop tells me to forward them by email as pdf format I'm not overly happy with quality
Pdf is just a container format. I'd just save as high quality jpeg. Adobe rgb color space if they support it and 300dpi.
First of all, it looks like you got your background LEDs fixed. Red is working again. Now you look like you're on a Death Star movie set!
Second, I'm actually surprised there isn't an option in Photoshop to just create the canvas wrap automatically. Considering how full-featured PS is, how is something like that missing? Especially when you think that professional photographers like yourself probably do canvas prints fairly often. I think ON1 has this feature built in.
Third, have you messed around with the generative fill in PS? What are your thoughts about using the generative fill to flesh out the extra canvas wrap margins vs. doing the mirror method you show here? Which do you prefer?
Maaaaate. Great questions! 👍
1. The leds are precariously wangled between a couple of objects to force a temporary connection. I have red and green but no blue. New ones on their way.... I'll just enjoy being Vader for a bit 😄
2 yes, this is about the best option for Photoshop. They do indeed need a feature like on1. I've actually saved these steps as an action for various canvas sizes so it's a one click and done.
3. Yes generative fill is a brilliant use for making the wrap!
when you change the resolution to 300 in you video do i still do it if it says 72
72 dpi is too low for a good quality print, so yes, change to 300dpi (or whatever your printer supports).
awesome tutorial. One questo=ion, how can I create a template out of this. so that every time I want to print just replace one image and it replaces all images in the PSD, is it this possible, I am totally noob in photoshop and have been using my canon pro 521 professional suite software, but it has its limitations like I can't choose border color etc. So I was thinking to make my own PSD template which I can use for different sizes
I have done just that for my size options. You need to record the steps as a actions.
Great vid, and timely since I am working on a group of prints now.
Brilliant!! Thank you so much!
Good idea Anthony! But I don't have Adobe software, I work with Luminar Neo. Is that also possible?
You use sRGB as the final profile, but the printer uses CMYK.
Recently I had a too dark print because of this. What should I do best?
Hi Erik, yes you can do this in Neo but it's not as easy. I'm sending my work to a commercial printer that uses an 8 cartridge system so CMYK isn't optimal in my case. The CMYK vs sRGB profile doesn't usually affect the luminance only the hue. This seems odd. I have found though that a lot of printers benefit from a slight midtone boost before sending the final file through. You can do this by lifting the mid point in curves in the develop tool in Neo.
thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
nice ! but can this be done using Luminar NEO?
Lumina Neo, or Affinity Photo, or any software where you can manipulate layers I would guess. Though I would tend to think that generative fill might be much the easiest. 🤔
Yes, but not as straightforward. Because there's no snap-to-edge feature in Neo it makes it harder to do.
Please can you do a video for gallery wrap
Thank you worked perfectly!
