The problem is that the program makes it's own mind up which images from your "database" to use based purely on how well they fit the source image. Looking through 10,000 images to determine which got used would be no mean task unless it was automated. Ditto, mailing the individual authors to ask for permission / handling the replies. I guess that practically it comes obtaining to buying sets of "Royalty Free" images. Either that or buying a cheap digital camera and spending a month visiting zoos, gardens etc etc etc ... Bob
