m.a.s.h. sign needed

April 12, 2008 3:36 PM

Image filter: You know those signs you see on trails and the tops of mountains, pointing in all different directions to distant cities? Like this, or this? Looking for such an image, high enough resolution that I can photoshop it a bit and use it in a presentation.

Not to point out the obvious, but the first picture you linked is released under a creative commons license, and is 1024 x 768 (click the "All Sizes" link above the image). How large do you need it, and what for?

Here are two I found after a quick google. They're both reasonably ginormous, and, with the nice solid colors, easily photoshopped.

You could try various searches at Stock Xchng.

Well, the license for that first pic states: No Derivative Works. You may not alter, transform, or build upon this work. Not sure if that's what you meant.

That resolution would be fine. Something that won't look terrible in a powerpoint presentation. I want to change the text on one sign, so hopefully the lighting would be such that the sign is clearly readable.

Although this search will give you some variety, I think this image will work best for you.
