Anyone know where I can find a good source for photos and illustrations to laser, particularly for memorial plaques? My CorelDraw & Hemera graphics just don't have the quality and detail I'm looking for.

I'm not opposed to shelling out a few bucks but many of the sites I'm finding are asking triple digits for one graphic...ouch!

Thanks in advance,

Laura

so far, I've had fair luck with google images. As in, go to google.com and click on Images (http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi&q=), then search away like normal.

I just found this and made a plaque of it today...


Just have to watch copywrite stuffs.

A lot of clipart collections comes with high res photo's, but it's a crap shoot on what you get. You might be able to call the makers and ask if they have specific categories. Art Explosions has a bunch of photo's. If you need just a few, you can ask here for more specific items and we may be able to help.

Good luck, let us know what you come up with..

I like the plaque Shaddy!

I've searched a bit on Google but still not finding exactly what I want. Those images would probably be fine for samples but I have reservations about using "non-legal" images for actual sales due to copyright laws.

I've got a prospective customer looking for detailed religious images so I've been looking for the last few hours but not much luck so far.

If they are Christian this might work.

If you can e-mail me, I might be able to help. I am an artist and I have a lot of images in that catagory. If you can tell me what you are looking for I might have it available for you. It would be royalty free (Reprintable) images. Even though they are copyrighted, you would have the right to use them.

Hey Michael,

Why don't you post a couple thumbnails - you might find some buyers amongst (sp??) your friends....

Hi Laura,

Check the archives. I asked this question shortly after the lazer forum started and Kieth and a few others posted some good links.
