[TUTORIAL] superpand-o's guide to: Finding HQ Images

curious delirium | graphics; resources; tutorials | closed

 

You know how some (read: most) of those graphic request shops demand for you to find hq image links? My shop demands that as well, and I’ve seen those links. And they ain’t pretty. Here’s how you should find it (for those who haven’t figured it out yet).

 

 

 

First, look at these links.

 

Idols

soshihd || exohd || hqsmtown || shineehq ||yeahkpophdpics ||

yeahhqsmtown || yeahhqsuju ||yeahhqkpop ||

yeahhqjpop || yg-sister || milkystepsx3 ||

Ulzzangs

jjang-ulzzang || yeahkidulzzang || ulzzanggirls ||

If the idol/ulzzang you’re looking for isn’t in one of the links above, always remember: Google is your best friend! (Google Images, in this case.)

 

First, go to Google Images (duh).

 

Let’s say we’re looking for HQ pics of BtoB’s Yook Sungjae. So the most obvious thing to do is type his name in the box, like so:

 

 

As you can see, the images are not too big (except for the one highlighted in blue–but we need to play safe hurrr).

 

So we look for this:

And click on that thing. It loads and look at the menu again. The size part of the menu should look like this. If not, click on it again.

 

Okay, so now that’s done we look at the pictures. Say we found two pictures that look good, like the ones highlighted in green below:

 

 

… Click on it. What are you waiting for?

 

It should take you to a page where there’s something like this on the right side:

 

Click on the “Full-size image” link and wait for the picture to load.

 

Once it has loaded, like so:

 

Copy the URL and paste it into the request form from where you want to request. The next step is optional.

 

Right-click and save the picture. Because hotlinking is not a good habit, you should practice this. Upload the picture to your own server (i.e. your own website or your photobucket/minus/imgur/whatever account) and look for the direct link. Copy and paste that into the form.

 

That was easy, wasn’t it? So there won’t be anymore excuses if I see some graphic designers whining about their customers. yeah.

 

Here's the original post.

 

Was that helpful? No?

Aaaanyways, I'm baaack. Yes.
