Can you project a photo? i'm an artist wanting to project my small art onto a larger canvas to trace instead of gridding it out and all that hassle??

Yes but the quality isn't great whatsoever as well as the room needing to be pitch black

If you are looking for good quality picture I would NOT recommend this. The blue start up scream does not even show large. If you are really into your work its probably better to just spend that extra 300.00 for a good quality projector. Epson projects are really good.

I bought this for my wife to project her drawings and it didn't work for her directly from her laptop (using the USB), she had to transfer her drawings to an SD card and it works for her that way. I wouldn't get it to project travel photos or presentations though, it reheats after a while and looses quality.

That thing is awesome! thanks for the idea. Ill definitely put some thought into it. I cant draw at all that's why i have to give it thought. Id basically be spending the money on a friend to use it all the time and me to upload the art.

Wesley,We do provide a free demo program that will allow you to capture and save an image in a bitmap format. You can save this image anywhere you would like. Can you tell us what you are trying to accomplish with adding the print on the card? There might be software available that could work better for you.Thank you

It would project it THROUGH the window unless you put some paper on the opposite side to the one you are painting. But that's a fairly easy fix, I'd think. Another alternative that I personally would find to be awesome is to get the glass sandblasted. The frosted glass would take the outline projection perfectly, and you could use that as an element in your work by leaving some of the frosted portions unpainted. It would also make it much less likely that the paint would peel later. I could understand why that wouldn't be practical for a lot of the projects you might try but sounds kinda cool right? Edit: I see Pam there beat me to the paper idea. So I'll see you paper and raise you 3020 Liquid Masking Film 32 oz here on Amazon. Paint it on the opposite side, project, trace... and then when you don't need it anymore, peel it off like cling film.

It would be a bit of a challenge, but it can be done. I can project an 8' wide by 6' tall image. The room would need to be quite dark with no outside light contamination. As the distance from the wall increases the image intensity and fine detail decreases.

Aye, I'm actually using Photoshop now on it. Don't see any reason why it wouldn't be supported.

phillip hi. did you ever try it with pen or marker? i am interested in applying them to the back of photos and using that as a postcard. thank you!

send it to your email. Depending on your printer and the size of the picture, you can... however, it will be grainy the more you enlarge it.

no..... you have to be able to see through whatever you set on the screen or it will cast a huge black square on the wall! If you could print the picture on clear projector film, very very very transparent, it COULD maybe guide your painting. but....

Not out of the box as far as I can tell. It would probably require a plugin of some sort. I'm not aware of any specific one but the good news is that PaintShop Pro also supports a good amount of PhotoShop plugins.

I use this to be portable and I project from behind. So I am not worried about the image quality. The image quality is acceptable to me. If you are thinking of using this at home I would just clean up a wall and just make sure the paint is nice and even. If you are really concerned about image quality then get some flat white paint. If you are using it to be portable and project from the front then there are better options. A screen that is more opaque will give you a better image, but you cannot project from behind. Anytime you lose light you are going to lose image quality. This screen does not reflect all the light. Hopes this helps. I use this to be portable and I project from behind.

The unit I have can rotate, blink, or be fixed. It's a pretty neat little product. Make sure the objects are what you what though. I don't remember being able to select the image being projected.

I would recommend you buy a digital video projector like an Epson. They are way brighter and work much better for art projects than this one.

you can but wouldn't suggest it. UNLESS you are trying to make a stencil of some sort...?

This is only for projecting a photo or drawing onto a table or wall. I use it enlarge my sketches so I can paint or mix medium art.

There is no reason the projector can't be positioned vertically (so that it faces down) if you can find a way to hold it in place. (Shouldn't be too difficult). Same with the images you want to trace. The image size limit is 3.25"x 3.5". For larger images, you'll need to move the projector to finish it. Moving side to side is doable but forward or backward changes the size of the image, meaning it won't match the first part you trace. I found I need the projector to be about 4-5' away from the surface I'm transferring to to get a sharp image. Also, the room will need to be dark for the sharpest image.
