Diamond Painting with Your Own Picture - How to Choose the Perfect Image and Size
If you want to create a completely unique artwork, you can choose the Custom Diamond Painting option and create a Diamond Painting from your own photo. However, remember to choose a suitable image and size to ensure the best possible result. In this guide, we will go through how to choose the right image and size for a Diamond Painting.
How to choose a suitable image?
Almost any image is suitable as long as you pay attention to a few details. When selecting an image, it is important to note that very small details may not stand out in the finished Diamond Painting. It's better to choose an image with a clear subject so that the Diamond Painting looks good and the details are distinguishable. Secondly, if the image quality is poor, it may slightly affect the result of the Diamond Painting. We recommend that the image is at least 800x800 pixels.
The most important thing in choosing an image, of course, is that you choose one that pleases you the most.
How to choose the right size?
Choosing the right size is one of the most important things when acquiring a Diamond Painting. Before deciding on the size, consider the following factors:
-
Will the finished work be displayed somewhere, such as on a wall? If yes, we recommend choosing a larger size so that the result looks good and the details stand out.
-
How detailed is the image you chose? If the image is complex and contains a lot of details, we recommend choosing a larger size to ensure the best possible result.
-
How large a Diamond Painting can you manage to make? If you are a beginner, we recommend choosing a smaller size for your first work. A smaller work is easier and quicker for a beginner to make.
Remember that the choice of size greatly affects the outcome. By considering these four factors, you can choose the right size that suits you and your chosen image.
See the example image below to see how much the size of the image affects the accuracy of the result. The left image is from a Diamond Painting approximately 20x20cm in size, and the right one is from a Diamond Painting approximately 80x80cm in size.
