Finding HQ 8x10

Unread post by ILUVEAP »

Hello!

I'm new to all of this and am hoping to get some help. I've read through the forums and have checked out some of the advice given on finding pictures but am still not having much luck. I've found some high quality photos but whenever I try turning them into an 8x10 so I can print them off they get out of focus.

The pictures I'm looking for in specific are of Henry Winkler as Fonzie, John Travolta and Princess Diana, and John Travolta in Grease.

Any ideas on where I might be able to get these? If not, I'll just settle for going with a smaller size.

Thanks for the help!

When checking back, I saw that this thread posted twice. Sorry about that! If possible, I'd like help with one more photo. Tony Curtis from Some Like It Hot.

I swear I'll get this mastered and avoid dumb questions and double posting of threads!

I search google.com and then click images and sort by extra large images. Then I print them out at a store near me. Another good place is allmovephoto.com

Looking online you want to find photos with the most pixels in them--I try for more than 1000 one way.

When you try to take a small image and make them into a large one, yes they will get a little blurry/out of focus. How much depends on how good the editing software you use is.

I checked a couple of the names you said.

Tony Curtis: http://www.dickpostma.nl/TonyCurtis.jpg

Here's a list of high quality Henry Winkler photos

Here's a specific Fonzie one:

You might also try the for sale/trade part of the forum and see if you can find someone with large photos of those people.

Hope this helped. Let me know if you need more help!
