My internet connection is so slow that this search is painful for me
with Google Images.  I'm trying to find an image, preferably
vertical-format, preferably fairly large, that shows a CD in an open
tray of an (audio) CD player.  I'd also appreciate knowing if there's
a better way to find such an image than guessing word combinations
with Google Images.  Thanks.

Greetings, viseu!

I think that I have found an image that looks exactly like what you
are seeking.
http://img.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/tn/80/802220.t.jpg

I have also enlarged the image slightly for you:

I look for different pictures using Google Images all the time, and I
have found that guessing word combinations usually works well for me,
but I also have a faster Internet connection.

For instance, if you would like to find an animated gif of the Pink
Panther, try:

pink panther animated
pinkpanther animated
pink panther animgif

Since Google often indexes most of the words on the page with an
image, the more words you supply, the more you may be able to narrow
down the selections.

exactly what you needed!

Thank you, but I was looking for a vertical (portrait, not landscape)
format picture, and maybe one a little bigger than that.  Let me know
if you come up with anything else.

Hi, viseu!

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by a "portrait" image. An
image of an audio CD player will by necessity be wider than it is
tall, because that is how audio CD players are dimensioned. I can
reformat the image I gave you (or any such image) so that the "canvas"
is taller than it is wider, but that is going to give you a lot of
unused white space. Is that what you want?

Thanks,

aceresearcher

Hi, viseu!

I believe that I can provide you with exactly what you need in this
image, once I receive additional specifics from you. Since I have not
yet received that additional information on what exactly it is that
you need in this image, I wanted to let you know that I will be out of
town for a few days, and I will check this Question as soon as I
return so that I can provide you with the image.

Thanks,

aceresearcher

Thanks for trying.  I did ultimately have a friend take a picture with
a digital camera.  I'm not sure how to rate the answer since the image
you suggested wasn't large (though you have a good point that most CD
systems are horizontal).  I guess I'd put a 3 in, though if you can
find a large picture (maybe better than the shot my friend took?) or
teach me a new search strategy, I'll put in a 5.  Thanks.

Thanks for your response, viseu!

Please do not rate this question yet; I always strive to make sure
that my Customers get exactly what they need. (Please ignore, for the
moment, the dire Google warnings about rating the Question -- although
they are big and in red typeface, Google Answers will NOT beat you, or
punish you in any other way for delaying your Rating, and you can
still ask as many other Questions as you wish while it goes unrated!)

I can provide you with such an image (larger than the one I
specified). However, I still need to know if you want the image in
landscape format (wider than it is tall) or in portrait format (taller
than it is wide) with a bunch of white space above and below the
image.

Just let me know which way you would prefer it.

Thanks!

Thank you, it's very kind of you to keep helping me.  I think I could
work either format into the project I'm working on.  As long as it's
fairly big (200 or 300K?) I should be able to composite it in.  Thanks
again.

viseu,

For some reason that image had a streak across it. I've loaded a new,
clean image for you here:

Surely you just take and edit a digital photo. It takes moments.

Here's one I just took. Please use it if it's any use. Let me know if
you want it re-sized or a very small file size etc. If the link
doesn't work just copy and paste it into your browser address window
and press enter.

Good luck.
