Moire Pattern
 
Terri

I used to work in a printing company. When I had trouble with a moire pattern, sometimes it resolved if I changed how the art was angled. For example, a photo with a moire pattern at 90 degrees might look better at 45 degrees. In printing, it had to do with a screen being laid over a photo with an existing screen (the screen is the thing that is put over a picture to break it into dots). Possible what is happening with your art is that the "screen" pattern of the canvas is interacting negatively with the digital camera pattern.

You might try putting your art at different angles on the wall, and shooting samples to see if that resolves the problem. Or angle your camera lens, keeping your art stationary. Also, as was mentioned, try different resolutions/DPI.

Julie, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried shooting at different angles to the light and it does seem to help a little. A friend who also has a G2 suggested that I change my settings and take those pictures at Superfine resolution and RAW format and see whether that helped. I also think using smoother canvas would make a difference. I like the medium canvas texture but may try using a portrait grade more frequently.
