For those of you who have printed on canvas, are there any special post processing steps to take? I've never printed on canvas so I'm curious about sharpening and saturation in particular. Thanks for any advice.

I print lots of canvas....no difference for me. Canvas actually helps an image that is a little soft due to the texture.

I agree with Joe - basically no difference. Canvas is a forgiving media. I've done about half a dozen and the only thing I would do beyond normal processing is to bump up the mid tone contrast a bit; seems to help the overall image definition.

I have found that images look better on canvas if they aren't TOO sharp. I agree with Joe Rogers.
