[quote="Nasli"]I'm new here, don't know where to introduce myself :P But here I am. My name is Nasli I'm from Denmark and I'm also an autograph collector.

So here's my question:

When you send photos with your letter, do you print the photo yourself?
And do you use real photo paper or just plain paper to print the photos on?

In advance thanks! {up}[/quote]

I print my own photos. I usually all the time send my own photo.
I use glossy photo paper.
You can buy some at a supply store/staples.

Thanks and I totally agree it rocks!

Thanks for the link. I just added the link to my bookmarks & I just visited the site & you're right, they do have good photo's. I'll use that site along with IMDB to print up my own photo's to send to celebrities.

[quote="EugeneE"]Hi Nasli,

When I send a photo to a celebrity, it is always a photo which I print up myself. I find a photo which I like of a celebrity online then I download it to my computer & then I print up the photo's. I print up my photo's onto HP Photo Paper, I have both glossy & high gloss photo paper, this type of paper from HP is very good but this photo paper isn't cheap.

But one word of advice is this, if you decide to print up your own pictures, many pictures online use a low resolution & when printed to photo paper might end up looking fuzzy or showing pixels.

I would suggest using the Internet Movie Database located at http://www.imdb.com/ , they have high quality photo's which have a good resolution & they look really good when printed onto quality glossy photo paper.[/quote]

Thanks for the tip Eugene! And that's what I found out yesterday I could do. I'm one of thoose type who'd rather die the pay for photos, and so I screencap'ed photos from IMDB and resized it on Paint.
And it looks okay I guess, because the photo is such a good quality like you said it makes it much easier to resize them.
As for the glossy paper thing - I'm still doing my little research I work in a photoshop and it's pretty expensive for 25 pieces. I'll see what I can do about it.

Thanks again Eugene! :D
