You could always start small and experiment with your phone. When you ask for a source where you can get images, what exactly are you asking for? There are image libraries that you could access stock photos. Adobe even have one: Search images, vectors and illustration to start your project | Adobe Stock Others include: Stock Images, Photos, Vectors, Video, and Music | Shutterstock Stock photos, royalty-free images & video clips | iStock The stock photo libraries typically allow purchase of image son their own or subscribing so you can access as many as you like on your monthly fee. ...

If you're doing serious photography work, a good camera would probably be the way to go. It would allow for much more control over focus. You could even pick the right lens for the specific photo required. I looked at the following site: https://clippingpathservice.com/our-services/ From what I can see in the above, I'm even more convinced that getting a good camera rather than just relying on your phone would be the best approach. ...

Hi, The answer is really - it depends. It depends on what level of quality is required, how the pictures will be used (website, print), what phone you have, lighting.... Here are a few considerations The number of megapixels does not mean better quality. The sensor size is important. Here is a good article that discusses this point. https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iphone/best-camera-phone-megapixels-3502115/ I could go into other things like lighting but perhaps provide more information on what you actually are going to do and advice can be directed more to that. ...

Trevor.Dennis  wrote Great job with post #24.  I love all the little details, and that is an excellent set of shadows on the Kangaroo — you've really anchored it to the floor.   Thanks Trevor. Glad you like it and that it comes across well. The platypus didn't feel exactly right but have just adjusted it now. The technique I used for shadow for quite a few of the additions was (using the kangaroo as an example): 1. In a new layer, I used the brush with 60 pixel size, 0% hardness, black colour, and drew along the bottom of the tail and feet of the kangaroo. 2. Since the brush thickness extended above the feed and tail, I erased the top part. 3. I then moved the layer below the kangaroo. I had drawn on a layer on top to help identify where to draw. 4. I changed the opacity of the layer to 65%. For the spider, 1. I selected the spider shape by Control and clicking the layer (Windows). 2. Expanded the selection by 2 pixels. 3. Feathered the selection by 2 pixels. 4. Filled the selection with black (in a new layer above the spider). 5. Changed the opacity to 75%. 6. Moved the layer behind the spider. I was happy with the way the koala worked out. For this, I did not try select the edges of the koala precisely. The koala was in a tree and I selected the area around the koala with leaves. I pasted into the the Christmas tree and used an eraser brush with a feathered edge to blend the edges in. I kept a few gum leaves as the koala needs something to eat ... View more
