Article Material Help: Scans needed!

CharlieAudin · 07-18-2011, 10:23 PM

Hey TMNT fans.

I am doing a TMNT article for a French magazine that will look over the popularity of action figure, cartoon and also video game of tmnt. The staff here is amazing with photoshop, but we cannot print pixelated picture. I was told Technodrome forums can help

We have all action figure picture we need (we all have many from being kids!) but we need some high quality scan or picture of cartoon and also video game.

I can show you what we need.

We really want this as the introduction page picture, but of course it must be very big to look clean in print...

We will also have section about different video games. This is our favorite tmnt game, but all large picture on the web is very pixelated and dirty.

same problem as game boy game. not any large picture online.

pictures need to be high resolution to look good in magazine print. that is why i ask for your help so that we can offer clean and good looking page for readers. merci~

I thought I may have seen some better pictures of the game covers around here at one point, but I can't seem to find them right now. I'll temporarily move this to the Video Games section to see if anyone can help out.

You're not going to find hi-res scans of Manhattan Missions unless someone here can scan it...
But the odds of someone even having the box are slim.

As for the group shot, there are plenty others like it you can use if you look around.
It's a generic picture with no source, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Never say never again, Powder!

I don't own it, but I do have a fairly high-res picture of the epic image somewhere in my files. I'll have to search for it.

EDIT:
Well shoot, just should have loaded up MobyGames!

This one has that little Moby logo in the bottom corner. I'll check and see if I have a cleaner version.

Google images works in some case, but print magazine needs to be very high resolution and clear, prefer 300DPI. Some time we can upscale and clean and we have done for the other 20 + image, but these images are not easy to find in such large size.

Are you saying the ones we've provided thus far are not good enough quality?

I think so. OP is right though, printing anything to make it actually look good requires an insane DPI.

Yes. I am very happy about good support!!

but image with lots of artifact and pixel will look unclean and contrast the rest of the magazine. That's why I am asking assistance with scan material.

I like the way you think!

You can actually click and drag images to Google image search as well...
