Good Printable Pictures

Unread post by ivette08 »

Can anyone help me????

I'm trying to find some good sites or help on how to print good pictures. Every picture i have printed they come out blurry when they are expanded to 8x10 size.

Does anyone know why this is happening and if there is anything i can do to fix that?

Or do I need to just look for another picture? If so can you recommend a couple of good sites.

Please help me with this issue.

Thank you,

Yes, the pictures you are printing are too small to expand.

Found this site for classic movies stars that have large scans great for printing.

A lot of people seem to have problems with finding pictures these days, when it's really easy!
When printing a "8x10" picture you should try to find a image with the highest quality possible. The bigger the picture is, the clearer it will be when you print it.

There are several ways of finding hq pictures.
1. By Googling a actor/actress/artist their name at http://images.google.com/ you can chose the imagesize for which you are searching.
For example: When looking for high quality images of Nicole Kidman put it on "large" or "huge".
- http://images.google.com/images?q=Nicol ... sz=xxlarge
- http://images.google.com/images?q=Nicol ... imgsz=huge
2. Looking for fansites with large image galleries.
Type in the celebs name followed by fansite and you'll find tons of huge fansites with awesome pictures. For example: "Nicole Kidman Fansite" gives atleast two large sites with galleries.
3. Sites like http://www.celebrityphotoshoots.org/ or the one posted above have alot of hq photos of several celebs.

note: you don't have to print 8x10 if you don't want to/are able to. "4x6 are just as easily signed by a single celeb and are relatively cheaper to send!
