Collecting alternate images
Once you get all your images, one good one for each of the favorite things in your outline, start over at #1 and find an alternate for each item. You can decide later which is the final choice that goes in your video. If you have to delete an image because it is blurry, too small or inappropriate you still have options!
Continue using the steps outlined below to add more images to your collection. You will turn in a snip of your Project Folder details views to show the resolutions of all the images you gathered.
Steps to Finding a Suitable Image:
Go to Google, click on "Images" and locate the settings menu. Choose Advanced Search Settings.
Enter your search word(s) - simpler is better, and no numbers for sizes there
Change the size to 8MP or larger to start. 6MP can still work, if you are careful about the resolution values.
Click on thumbnails and hover over the new, larger thumbnail that appears on the right.
Compare the resolution to 2560 x 1440. If they are both larger, it is worth continuing. There are few exceptions.
If the larger thumbnail stays blurry instead of getting sharp and clear, the actual image may be blocked.
The new thumbnails underneath the large one are NOT filtered to 8MP or larger. Don't click them.
Your next search may forget the 8MP filter. Check at the top of the screen to see if it is still in effect.
SAVING THE IMAGE... AND ITS ADDRESS
BEFORE saving the picture, we must copy the image address so we can paste at the bottom of our Word document.
Right-click on the image and choose "Copy Image Address" - it's the best way to get it.
Right-click on the image again, choose "Save Image As", and navigate to your Project Folder to save it. Make sure your picture is the full-screen version, NOT the thumbnail.
NOW switch over to your Word document, go to the bottom of the last page and Ctrl-V "Paste" the image address.
NOTE: Make sure the address doesn't have the word "Google" in it - sometimes we accidentally get the search term address instead of the one for the extra large image by itself.

Saving the Image
Getting the picture into your project folder is only the first step. Before saving, you must copy the image address of the actual image (not the website). THEN you save the image and switch to File Explorer to find the "Comments" field in the Details pane. Pasting and saving the URL (image address) is essential, and images without them will be deleted.
