I'm going to college for graphics design, stock photos and cool shit FTW.

11"x17" posters at 200 DPI needs big images.

i save it for the beautiful (usually) artwork and to 'collect' it

because i find most forms of recreation completely fucking boring. it's equally entertaining to just daydream to an hi-res scene... about a thousand times better than watching TV anyway. maybe i just started appreciating art at some point too.

Where do you go to school? The industry standard for print is 300 dpi minimum, your schools weird.

Posters generally have a lower dpi, iirc.

I'm here for a few reasons.

Stock images. Good stock images are hard to come by, especially high res ones. This is where you guys help solve my problems.

The roffles. The only thing funnier than a man's scrotum is a man's scrotum at 8000x6000. for some reason, if something is high res, it becomes funnier. True story.

Print fodder. I intend on compiling the best of /hr/ into posters for my wall. I can get myself access to some lovely industrial printers, so I surf /hr/ for things to adorn my room. Unfortunately, many things here, while nice, don't have that 'cool stuff' feeling you get wehn you buy a poster for your room, and I've only found about three good HR pics. I'm also very picky. :P

Artistic appreciation. Its hard to appreciate a picture when its full of artifacts and/or its the size of a postage stamp. You guys excel in fixing this problem. Historical pictures, nice anime concept artwork scans, tasteful pornography and amazing photos are the mainstay of my HR collection.

What he said. Everything is much more tasteful in /hr/ and there are hardly any flamewars at all.

To make some clean, good res walls. Most of my dual screen walls I cropped from /hr/ posts.

im here mainly for the poster print outs these days :D i recently found shitloads of uber looking and highres pictures of landscapes on wikipedia commons :D

The detail. Typically hi-res images have more meaningful information in them than something small. Even though the file size is much larger.

High resolution images for the sake of high resolution images, ie. no reason in particular.

If I had to think of a reason, one of the tamest boards of 4chan and big images so I have something to practice my drawing with.

i look at these /hr/ pictures and fantasize about a place that doesn't so closely resemble hell

The above link was one of them. The attached image, albeit at a much larger version, was another.

Oh, and vectors. You guys rock for vector art. I forgot that as one of my reasons for pimping out HR.
