Step 5 - Other images
Search for any additional images you may need. You might also need to bring in pictures from home, which can be scanned or brought on a CD. Google or Getty Images are a good place to start. Remember, many of the sites that we have used have search engines within them, and can bring you to higher resolution images.
The background image should be a large image - aim for above 900 dpi if it will be the whole background. Any other images that you use should be 500 dpi or over.
Once you are finished with collecting your images, go to DIRECTIONS.
