How can I improve old artwork photos to make them sellable as prints?

Go back through your archive and work from the original files to clean up and improve old photographs of your artwork. Use upscaling software to enlarge older, lower-resolution images so they’re suitable for printing at larger sizes. Even photos from 2005 or earlier can often be processed into print-quality files with modern tools. This expands your available inventory significantly—you can suddenly offer prints of work created years ago that you previously couldn’t market for sale due to image quality issues. This is especially valuable if you’ve been creating consistently for many years but didn’t always have access to good photography.
