Getting pictures off the internet and sending them to celebs

Unread post by Bill73 »

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to print photographs off of the internet using high quality paper? I noticed that some of the autographs shown in the feedback section appear to be images found on the internet, and I was wondering how people are doing this? What kind of paper do you use?

Thanks for your help!

I use HP glossy photo paper and print at home. It isn't the best quality, but it is good enough for me. Some people pick their photos from the internet and print them at their local Walgreens, CVS, Target, or Wal-Mart. That is more expensive, but you can get high quality prints. Hope I helped!

Yes a lot of the pictures used are off sites like Google images , all I do is select a 2mp upwards for image quality (a good size for printing 6x8) and then I print at a local shop,but if your printing it your self any good quality photo paper will do perfect,or if you ain't got a good printer there are a few good cheap online printing sites like photobox ,that do cheap prints in various sizes delivered to your door ,hope that helps

How do you take images from the internet and have them developed at a store? Don't you need something like a memory card used in a camera to develop them?

Yes, you need to put it on a memory card. Some places may take flash drives, but you will have to check on that.

I think Wal*Mart takes several different types of SD cards and even USB. :D

When I find a picture off the internet I want to use I just save it to my computer. Then I go on a site like ArtsCow or CVS and upload them to an account so I don't need any other equipment.
