It's quite hard to get good pictures of individual items because they tend to be obscured in most games you played, so you you have to keep playing until the one you want is out in the open, and then there are resolution issues, so taking a screen grab on device and blowing up that small area produces a very pixalated image that isn't a great reference.

The latest update has improved the zoom resolution in the game, so it might be easier now to get pictures of every item in every picture but that is going to take awhile.

What I would recommend is to use a bunch of compasses when you start a new picture. Compasses are great because you can get a few items with each one that is activated. They point in the direction of an item, and you can drag the compass around the screen following the direction it is pointing. Once it gets close to an item it starts to spin and the item itselt becomes highlighted on the screen. You can hold the compass there and get a good look at the item before tapping it, and then see which item gets marked off the list. That way you can learn what they all look like and also start to learn where they tend to hide in the picture (every item only has a few locations it will be).

You can get compasses by combining a number of different low level collections, if you are missing any items you could add them to your wish list and your friends will probably be happy to help out (as they are not rare or special collections, so people tend to have spares they are happy to give to friends). You can also buy compasses with coins you earn from winning pictures/puzzles, which is a great use for the coins. Run some talismans that give you extra coins for each picture/puzzle and combine any collection you have ready to coin (gives a lot of coins) and you will be able to buy a bunch of compasses in no time.
