Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude Hints
Photography
1 of 5: Larry has one of those wondrous "infinite cameras" with him at all times. It never runs out of film! You can press P or * on the numeric keypad at any time to switch from regular travel mode to camera mode. You can still move around in camera mode, and you can use the + and - keys to zoom in and out. Press the left mouse button or ENTER to snap a shot of whatever you're looking at.
2 of 5: Across the top of the camera's view, you'll see the quality indicator lights. These clue you in to how high the photo will be evaluated at when you talk to someone who evaluates photos. The more quality lights that are on when you snap the shot, the more money you can get by selling the photo. If all the lights are on, including the green light, then it's one of the best shots possible. (However, I was never able to find any shot outside of a photography mini-game that gave more than just one light past the red one unless I was photographing a girl with "nude mode" on at the end of the game.)
3 of 5: You can take up to six photos at a time. Once your roll is full, you have to sell them to someone who buys photos (see list in next hint). When you have someone evaluate photos, they do them all at once at a charge of $1 per photo. You then have to sell them everything you've got. (But first save any photo to your photo gallery that you'll want to look at later. The gallery doesn't affect gameplay at all -- it's just for photos you like to look at frequently.)
4 of 5: There are several people who can evaluate and buy photos. Use the list below to find one near you.
