Boy, I can't think of what might be making the photos look narrower than the original. Unless you're not shooting from exactly straight on?
In Photoshop, which I use, I can check the proportions of a photo, to be certain. If it's a 24 x 36 canvas, for example, I can set the vertical image size of the photo to 36 and see if the horizontal comes out at 24. (Be sure the "constrain proportions" setting is on.)
And, Denise, here's how you can tell if you're shooting from too close with a lens setting that is too wide-angle. The tell-tale sign will be that the straight edges of your canvas look bowed outwards. If that happens, be sure to zoom in a bit with your lens, if you have a camera that will do that.
Also, check in your viewfinder that the edges of your canvas look parallel, and not looking like they're going off in perspective. If they're not parallel, it's because you're too high/low in relation to the canvas, or too far over to the side. Move around until the sides look as parallel as you can get them.
Hope that helps!
