photo transfer

Picture moving process

Photo transfer is a technique for moving a printed image onto another surface—fabric, wood, canvas, or other materials.

The process typically involves applying a medium or solvent that releases the ink from paper, allowing it to bond with the new surface.

Craft and art applications range from decorating furniture to creating mixed-media pieces: She used photo transfer to put family portraits on canvas.
