Here are the tricks/tools to get original images on these sites. If you post a link for an image from one of these sites for a request (esp. Daylife and Fathead), please rehost them first and do not hotlink them.

NFL.COM

1.Go to www.nfl.com/photos

2.Pick the gallery for the game/collection you're looking for

3. Find the pic, then right-click on the thumbnail image at the bottom and select "View Image"

4. Near the end of the link, delete the part that says "_gallery_600" or "_thumbnail_120_150"

Recently some galleries/images have not worked with this trivk, but most do.

DAYLIFE

1. Enter http://toiextra.daylife.com/search/photos/1/?q=andrew+luck in your address bar, switching out "andrew+luck" with the player or term of your choice, making sure you replace spaces with pluses

2. Scroll through the listings and if you find a pic you want click on it, and it will take you to it's page.

3. Take note of whether it's a Getty or AP photo. Then right-click on the image and select "View Image".

4. Now in a new tab, open up either gettyimages.com or apimages.com (depending on your pic). Find the picture on there and click on it, and it should open a pop-up window. Find the dimensions of the picture and note them down them.

Getty Images lists dimension as width x height

AP Images lists dimension as height x width

5. Now go back to the original image/link and change the number at the end of the link to x(height) i.e. x3500. Then at the end of the link add this: ?fit=scale

BLEACHER REPORT

1. Go to google.com and go to Image search

2. Type in your player/term followed by: site:bleacherreport.com

3. If you see a pic you like, click on it, then click on "Full Size Image"

4. In the link, replace "display_image" with "original" (no quotes)

5. If the link has "crop_exact" with dimensions at the end, simply change the values after the h= and w= to 5000 and the q= to 100

Some Notes

Links that have names i.e. "joemontana_display_image", are usually NOT high-res but you can check them anyways. Links that have numbers i.e. "107241256_display_image", usually are high-res.

If you see a pic on AP or Getty that you like, you can see if B/R has it by replacing the player with its Getty/AP image number in the search

FATHEAD.COM

1. Go to the Fathead website and look for your player (Can also do it by team)

2. This is what you get http://www.fathead.com/nfl/seattle-seahawks/. Lets say I want that Russell Wilson cut, I will click on his pic and get this http://www.fathead.com/nfl/seattle-seaha....hic/?src=browse

3. So next, you wanna right click and open in new tab to get this http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/Fathead/....him%3fscl%3d1}}

4. Go to the end of the link and find the part that says this:

Fathead/12-21076_NFL_Russell_Wilson_2012?

copy that and replace

Fathead/RealBig_WideT_GreenPoolCue_Temp?

in the front of link

5. Now u should have this

http://s7d2.scene7.com/is/image/Fathead/....him%3fscl%3d1}}

then, you take the part that says:

?layer=comp&wid=640&hei=640&fmt=jpeg&qlt=95,1&op_sharpen=1&resMo (start at the "?" AND GO TILL THE END OF THE LINK)

replace all of that with this

_prod?layer=comp&fit=constrain&hei=3000&wid=3000&fmt=png-alpha&qlt=100,0&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bicub&op_usm=0.0,0.0,0, 0 &iccEmbed=0

NEULION POWERED SITES

Step 1:

Open the gallery of your choice, for this example I'll use Boise State.

http://www.broncosports.com/PhotoAlbum.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9900&PALBID=422277

Step 2:

Find the image you want, right click, copy image location, open a new tab, and paste it.

http://image.cdnllnwnl.xosnetwork.com/pi....11112232032.jpg

Step 3:

Locate the size of the picture, this varies on different sites, for the BSU example, you'll see /640/ in the pic URL, delete the 64 so you are left with /0/, the image should then come up full size (not every pic is 3000 pixels)

http://image.cdnllnwnl.xosnetwork.com/pi....11112232032.jpg

Not every image is high quality either, really depends on the site/team/photographer/lighting, you know, all the stuff that matters on other sources. Anyway, just thought I'd share.

FANHUB.COM

1) Go to http://thefanhub.com/photos/

2) Then you click one of the players

http://thefanhub.com/photos/for_team/5/Baltimore-Ravens#!prettyPhoto[1732]/0/

3) You then click on the link of the players name next to profile

4) Right Click and hit "Copy Image URL"

5) When you get to the page with just the photo

http://thefanhub.com/uploads/large/uspw_5722100-1322809785.jpg

You take out where it says large and type original

Go to http://news.daylife.com/ and search whichever player/person you'd like images of. I'll be using Andrew Luck.

Step two:

Find the picture you'd like, and copy the url.

Example: http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0dNcf7g3uPcNj/439x.jpg

Step three:

Replace the "439" or whichever number is there with "3000" and add "?fit=scale" at the end of the link.

Final result: http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0dNcf7g3uPcNj/3000x.jpg?fit=scale

Their tumblr (click me!) does post some decent pictures, although not always of sports.

Examples:

1. Where do you all get your cuts from? I only use photobucket to find them but that doesn't have enough and they aren't very good quality. I need some other sites to get some from...

and also..

2. Where could I find some stocks like the one in the sig below( near matt moore's legs) that kinda make the render come out? Because I just keep using that same stock over and over again.

Edit: actually I have 3 ?s... What are some Gfx sites that I could post my work on to get some more CNC and help me get better?
