Flickr just announced a sport , newfangled — albeit kind of costly — program calledFlickr Wall Art . All you have to do to rick your Flickr photograph into a large canvass , pic saddle horse , or rule book is select your preferenceson the new Create portal site . Two clicks — and at least $ 50 — after , and your living room ’s newest adornment is on the path .
This service is kind of a mixed bag . On one mitt , Flickr Wall Art sound like a really easy way to buy prints—”as short as two clicks , ” the companysays . ( Realistically , it takes about a dozen clicks for your first order . ) Flickr also brags about using “ museum - quality materials and professional printing . ” photograph mount come on “ Fujicolor Crystal Archive Paper with a lustre finish … mounted on a 1″ durable black bestride - board finished with woodwind - textured edges . ” Sounds luxurious !
It may be , but it ’s not quite the respectable deal . price for an 11″ x 14″ canvas start out at $ 64 , and two clicks on a Google search will reveal that you’re able to get the same thingat Canvas Pop for $ 43 . Walmartwill do it for $ 20 . Without take care the ruined product , it ’s hard to tell which service offer the best quality . But it ’s probably safe to say that Flickr is not the trashy option if you ’re looking to make some bulwark art out of your photos . Flickr also does n’t say how big photos need to be for uploads , but when we tried one over 1000 pixels wide , it did not work .
appliance is worth something , though . It ’ll be interesting to see if Flickr turns Wall Art into an easy way for professional photographers to sell prints on the web . Until then , we ’d encourage you to betray around . [ FlickrviaTechCrunch ]
