Creating Images
One of the most time-consuming, but personal, solutions is to create a digital image using a graphics application. There are many possibilities if you choose this route: PhotoShop®, Illustrator®, Freehand®, Painter®, Paintbrush®, MacDraw Pro®, etc.
If the artist in you (or in someone else you know) is better suited to paper, pen and ink or some other medium (such as photographs or slides), you may use a scanner to scan your image into a digital format that can be used on your home page.
With flatbed and slide scanners for both Macs and PCs, you can preview your scans, zoom and do other simple manipulations before choosing the final scan and saving the image in the desired graphic format.
Once your image is in a digital format, you may choose to manipulate the image. Suppose, for example, that you find an old photograph of your childhood pets, Dog and Cat. Unfortunately, Bossie the Cow is also in the photograph and your home page is only about dogs and cats. By using a graphics application, you can erase Bossie from the picture, paint the barn a brighter red, and erase the clouds on the horizon!
