Picture Ideas

[andrelaplume]

I figured if I could learn how to use an app (My Disney) then I could learn how to use the camera in my phone and learn how to use movie maker to make a little video of my recent trip - who prints pics anymore!

Anyway, sadly, I had a folder that had hi res shots of the entrances to many attractions: Soarin', Figment, Mission Space, Test Track, Indy Stunt show etc. I deleted that folder by accident. I stopped by Best Buy to see their geek squad..they are gone for ever

I found many such generic pics on the net but when blown up to full screen size they are pixaleted.

Any ideas where I might find some usable pics of these things that are hi quality that can be shown full screen?

Without trying to be condescending: Use the google search parameters. Search for what you're looking for, like Soarin'. Then select "Images" instead of "All". Then click "Search Tools". You can then select size, type and even usage rights. You should be able to find what you're looking for pretty easily.

Not condescending at all...but I think you missed the point...sure Google will show dozens of pics....you can right click and save. However if you open up the pic it's the size of a stamp. As soon as you pop it into movie maker...or anything that enlarges it...it's pixelated...unless I am doing something wrong.....

First, you need to look at the dimensions of the picture. It will say something like (This number x This number). This should come up when you click on it on google images, otherwise, right click and look for Properties or View Image Info.

It sounds like you are only downloading the thumbnail. Once you have found an image you like on google, click on it and then click "view image". It should open the picture in a new tab at its native size. It should be very large if you have selected a large image. Then try right clicking on that photo.

It sounds like you are just clicking on the initial photo which is usually just a downsampled version.
