Hi all,

I was thinking about getting a panoramic picture i took whilst on holiday this year printed and framed for the O/H's Christmas present. If possible i'd like the picture to be played with a little to get the best out of it, and then cropped and print to suit.

Is there anywhere that would do this? Would it be better to supply the seperate images that were originally stitched together and someone else could do the stitching?

Here is the image in question (uploaded to photo bucket so is quite small compared to the originals), thoughts and views are welcome.

Thanks in advance
Dan

I was just about to ask exactly the same question. I have a triptych image, which I'm looking to print for a member of the family for xmas but the cheapest place I found was £18.00 plus P&P. Its 210x594mm.

Hi Guys,

I had some pics done a couple of years ago with an online company. The hardest part was finding someone to do a panorama in the size I wanted, which I couldnt. So instead I up loaded the pic to them and ordered it as a 30" x 20" picture (the largest they did) this obviously had a large white border top and bottom but filled the age left to right. When the pics came to me I just took it to the framers and got the to chop the top and bottom off and mount it. Cant remember who the online photo place was but there were loads that did it.

Here are the pics. I used photoshop to stitch them.

You're right its probably cheaper to get a poster print and have it chopped yourself.

I cant remember where I found that £18 offer, it was one of the top searches off Google! Will have a look about and see what I can find

Look at Wall Decor and there might be a size you're looking for.
