I used to find that even quite big images would be flagged up by online supermarket photo printing sites as being low quality, if you have access to Photoshop run them through that first and save it as a high quality image, this seems to resolve whatever issues the photo sites have with images taken from the web.

There are loads of high-quality images of those three actresses on Google images, just filter by 'large'.

If i was to send some files to a company like jessops to print out some photos would they print out celeb pics for me? Are there copyright issues?
Any feedback appreciated.
I know Boots and Asda will refuse to print copyright photos as i have read it on other forums because they can be held responsible for producing the copy.

Your best bet is to find a instant photo print machine .

In the uk boots 39p
Co-op - 30p

Yet to look anywhere else

Hope this helps [uk]

Nope, that would be too small for 8x10. something size could only be printed off as a 4x6.

I haven't used either of those, but if that's their prices for a 5x7 or a 6x8 then almost anywhere else would be cheaper.

I use a very large UK supermarket's online and collect in store service, and apart from a very mild verbal warning once have never had any problems with them.

Adaroma should send to the UK I'd imagine. I've got UK friends who use it. {up}

As I said above, "I use a very large UK supermarket's online and collect in store service, and apart from a very mild verbal warning once have never had any problems with them."

I'm not going to name them specifically, but it is the obvious one. They all have to have stern copyright notices on their sites or in their stores to be seen to comply with copyright law.
