Tutorial: How to snatch the iTunes video artwork (Windows).
A couple of people were asking me how you snatch the iTunes artwork from rented or bought movies, so I thought that I would make a quick easy tutorial for people, so they will know how too. And then once you have the artwork, you can submit it to my artwork thread, found here: iTunes Official Artwork: Movies, TV Shows and Short Films
NOTE: This does work for any type of artwork, but i'll just be using a movie artwork.
Step 1:
Before we do anything, you must find the movie that you want the artwork from (I will be using 'Mean Girls'). Once you have found the movie, right click the movie and click 'Get Info' at the top of the list.
Step 2:
When you click 'Get Info' a small window will pop up. Click on the 'Artwork' tab. Below will be a small thumbnail of your artwork, highlight the image (It should look like the one below).
Step 3:
When your movie artwork is highlighted, on your keyboard click 'Control+C' to copy the artwork like shown below.
Step 4:
Go to the desktop, and right click on the desktop-background and click 'Paste'.
Step 5:
A image file will show up on the desktop titled 'image'. That is the HD artwork already in a file for you to upload to the artwork thread
Oversized images.
To upload to my artwork thread (link above), you need to upload the artwork to imageshack, and the maximum image size is 1.5mb on their website.
Step 6:
Right-click the 'image' file (your artwork) that's saved to your desktop and go down and click 'Properties'.
Step 7:
A new window will pop-up and if you go down to 'Size:' it will say the size of the image. If the image is over 1.5mb you need to resize it using photoshop (Save it as a jpeg and change the quality). And if it is under 1.5mb then you can go and upload it right away.
