This document discusses various options for sourcing images and processing images. It outlines advantages and disadvantages of sourcing images from books, Google Images, stock image libraries, copyright free sites, and taking your own photos. It also discusses common image processing techniques like cropping, scaling resolution, and their advantages and disadvantages for print versus web. Sourcing your own images provides quality control but requires time and effort, while stock images are guaranteed quality but have costs. Lower resolutions are better for web but lose detail, and higher resolutions are suitable for print but demand more system resources.
