Question:
Are you allowed to print photos taken from the internet at CVS?

I'd like to make an autograph request to a television star, but it's impossible to find a physical photo of her that I could purchase to send along with my letter and SASE. I have however found a great headshot online that I think would be great for an autograph. If I downloaded the picture to my hard-drive and e-mailed it to CVS, could I order a glossy print of it, or not? In other words, are you allowed to order prints of (presumably) copyrighted photos? I'd prefer sending a photo to be signed rather than, say, an issue of (or a page from) Soap Opera Digest. Or should I just omit the photo from my request and assume that the actress has some of her own on hand? I realize that some celebs require you to send an item yourself, since they don't have anything to send to you.

fotoace is correct, but as well as not being legal, you simply cannot do it technically. Any photo on such a website is of a very low resolution. While it looks fine on the computer, it will NOT print with any degree of quality. I don't think you want an ugly, pixellated, blurry photo autographed do you?



I have never known any celebrity that, (if they do any autograph service at all), does not supply their own photo with the autograph. Just write and politely ask for such.

You can contact the website where you found the photo and see if you can get a print from the photographer.

in simple terms coming up the action picture provides you with "negatives" till you're utilising slide action picture. in case you desire prints then you incredibly would desire to get the negs revealed. on the different hand, get them scanned onto a cd for digital records or purchase a scanner that may test negatives and do them your self.
