Help for Printing Pictures

Unread post by jess101 »

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could tell me how they get their pictures to send in for autographs?

How do you tell if it is good quality and where do get them printed.

Also what is an ideal size to do?

What websites do you get pictures from?

Any help would be great I only recently started sending pictures, but am having trouble getting good pictures.

thanks!

Quality that's good is usually above 4MB. You can use them off google, and print em at walgreens

As long as its over 1000 x 1000, it will look GREAT!
4MB's is huge and DOESN'T have to be that big.
Britney Spears==>> 6 #1 albums. 2 diamond albums. 8 platinum albums. 400+ awards. 200M+ records sold. Britney has sold over 45 million records this decade despite only releasing three albums. Globally, Britney has more #1 singles than any other female artist except Madonna and Rihanna. "Oops!...I Did It Again" by Britney is the 5th best selling album of the 2000s decade worldwide. Britney is the only female artist to chart her first seven albums in the top two of the Billboard 200. Britney has achieved at least one #1 album in 3 different decades (90's, 00's, 10's). Britney is the first solo female artist from the 90's to reach 1 billion Spotify streams. Despite NOT even being a single, 'Tom's Diner', ft. Britney , has become Giorgio Moroders best-selling digital track. 2015 Billboard Awards ratings reached a 14-year high, with numbers peaking during Britney's performance. She IS the princess of Pop.

I've used Walgreens once, but they had me sign a form about copyrights etc...it was only two pictures, but I use adorama.com now. When you upload the picture, there's a little graph that shows the picture quality. There have been several times where I found a pic with high dpi that i thought was good, but when I uploaded it, it said the quality was low.

I use them when they have a sale, but their shipping is a bit high, even if they arrive pretty fast. I get York photo emails a lot, and right now they have a sale on 3c prints, probably 4x6 with a limit of 100. If anyone wants me to send the the link, let me know.

Surprised to hear that, I've never had an incident at Walgreens here than I can relate to that.

Ya know what? You defend Walgreens like your work there :mrgreen:
And like I said people have been having issues with Walgreens MORE AND MORE as time goes on.
