We're new to digital printing and we want to know where we can find sharp, clear professional images, for example, where would you find an American flag with the Statue of Liberty so I can superimpose statue over flag? Is there a website or a company that provides these images? What would be the cost? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

There are literally 1,000s of sites offering image such as you describe. Some you pay for what you want, some are subscription, some sell CDs.

Prices are from the ridiculous to the sublime as well. Here's a short list to start with.

Thanks guys. Didn't think it would be that easy. Now let's see if we can learn Adobe programs as easy.
