can any one advise the best place to find transparent images without backgrounds, free or pay sites please , thanks
Are you looking for anything in particular? A geat source for images without any background issues is using "dingbats". With dingbats and a paint program images can always be customed for your needs. Usually the only restriction for using dingbats is they can not be repackaged, renamed and sold. Dingbats are found on font sites, they are installed to your 'system font" file. Anything you can do effect wise to text in TLC you can do to your dingbat art and they are usually free. For how to use look at post 5: http://www.logodesignforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=28353&highlight=dingbats#post2
You might want to look at purchasing collections such as "ClickArt" 1.2 million images for under $50 by Broderbund or buy their Printshop or PrintMaster and have a user friendly program with graphics, fonts and the ability to even do photo editing for about the same price. One site that isn't very expensive for image downloads is https://members.graphicsfactory.com/CDRom/cgi/cdvol2.cgi?membership=4&trackid=000
