No, I am not clicking them directly...just taking them straight off google images page. Perhaps that's the reason for poor quality?
That's going to be the problem then, you need to click on the image and open up the original image, then save it. Thumbnails on the search page will do nothing ;)


Thank you so much! You have been a great help! {up} :D

Absolutely any time! I am always happy to help out true collectors and decent people.

Double checked a couple on my online photo uploader (ALDI) and they're showing as sufficient for 10x8, and perfect for 6x4/7x5 so you really shouldn't be having any problems as long as you're saving the proper sized image.

Seem big enough to me, I take it you are clicking "view original image" etc and not just saving them straight from the google image search page? I know that may sound daft, but worth checking. I'd see no reason why most of them shouldn't print fine.

Those are some of the ones I'd like. Thanks for your help. :)

So I've already tried searching under large in google images. They still come out quite blurry.
Can you indicate who you are looking for and maybe provide some links to the images you're using? I'm at a loss as to what you are doing wrong, but there must be something as there's no way large images shouldn't print at 6x4 or 7x5. The general rule of thumb is anything size 800x600 should print at 10x8, and that (I think) is the minimum size for large images on google... so if they print at 10x8 size, they should print easily on smaller ones.

Without meaning to sound rude, then you must be doing something wrong as images from Google's large category should be good enough quality to print up to 8x10 size, sometimes bigger depending on the image size, let alone small pictures.
