If they can't get it right, Don't pay them. THEY are the experts. That's what they're paid for.
BTW.... I have a "poor man's cobra" a 1965 Sunbeam Tiger. Original Ford 260 V8 and 4 spd trans.

Hahaha!, that's not even Walmart quality. I don't who you used but they weren't the experts. I don't know if you got this job done over the internet, but you should take it take a place you walk in to and deal face to face with a person. I think Walgreens does that and I believe Walmart does too, actually. Just a suggestion to look into.

You need a custom size they tried to “cram” the image in a smaller dimension and squad the image during the process.

Super cheap. Also Costco makes nice canvas prints as well as Metal Prints

The aspect ratio of your image was not proportional to the aspect ratio of the canvas, so like waterscoop said they squished your image down to fit on the canvas.

.... because if they scaled it down to fit, it would have left blank space on the canvas. So yes, you either need to find a canvas that matches the image aspect ratio or do some cropping and scaling yourself to get it to match whatever canvas size is available or preferred for your final product.

The aspect ratio of an image describes the proportional relationship between its width and its height. It is commonly expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, as in 16:9. For an x:y aspect ratio, no matter how big or small the image is, if the width is divided into x units of equal length and the height is measured using this same length unit, the height will be measured to be y units.

In, for example, a group of images that all have an aspect ratio of 16:9, one image might be 16 inches wide and 9 inches high, another 16 centimeters wide and 9 centimeters high, and a third might be 8 yards wide and 4.5 yards high. Thus, aspect ratio concerns the relationship of the width to the height, not an image's actual size.

That's a fine looking ride, RTR! Yeah, I don't know what they did, but you should go elsewhere.

Nice ride. My late father owned an original Shelby Cobra 289 in which he nearly killed himself while disintegrating the car. Quite a bit of reconstructive surgery went into putting his face back together back in the day. Do be careful with that Hot Motor Scooter.:icon_thumright:

Stretched canvas?

Interesting thought.But what ever it was.Its plain to see they don't put "eyes-on" their product,before they ship it.I'll find out who the company was,somehow.Just don't want to tell the 'gift giver' their gift is ... garbage.
