CanvasPop Uses "Micro-Vectorization" Taking Low Quality Facebook Photos Making Them Available for Photobooks!

Mashable reports that the future has arrived just a little quicker than we thought!  We always thought that Facebook photos wouldn't work in photobooks but thanks to CanvasPop they took what "couldn't be done" and created a business.  That's the entrepreneurial spirit!

Basically, the company's theme is that they can take any photo, any size and blow it up to any size.  The possibilities are endless and it's all due to "micro-vectorization."  We won't go into all the volumes of what vector images are, but suffice it to say, a vector image is an image that can be enlarged into whatever size you want and it won't be reduced in quality.

So go back through that Facebook photo galleries and start thinking about which photos would be great in a photobook for that special someone!  Suddenly the digital photographs that you thought you couldn't use anymore can be used and can be AMAZING!!!
