Smile examples of how to put photos with background on T's

Hi. I know I can cut the shape out to print on transfers but it seems to me that some kind of background would enhance the shirt.Does everyone have a special way or cutout to use their on their background, or do you just print the whole rectangle and press? I'm thinking of like a cloud or swirling cloud background that fades to nothing surrounding the photo. I don't have much imagination so I am hoping that some other ideas, with examples, from more talented people will get my thought processes moving along some broader avenues of what works. I figure the cloud thing will work for babies, but what about peoples cars or their(whatever their proud of) other things or just event pics? Please use you imagination and help me out. I'm not very good at expressing my thoughts so feel free to expand on this line . I am getting familiar with corel X3 so how to do it, along with pics of examples of the end result, would be greatly appreciated.

You can do alot of differant things.. you can fade out the back ground so it blends in slowly.
you can put a decorative frame (think like a picture frame only odd shapes and cool designs)
around the picture?
those are just a couple of differant ideas

Thanks Susan. Thats what I'm talking about. The problem is that I haven't an artistic bone in my body. Thats why I am so emphatic when asking for pics or examples.This is another area where I need other people brains to help me out. I bought two very poor pieces on software that does this for me but the frames and templates are very amateurish and I don't believe they will work, although there is one that would be a low end template I might use.

The example in my previous post has a pic (blue skeleton) that doesn't belong to me. Its is just used in this example. The thing is that this template isn't very sell able. I need the pic ( the pic inserted is of the young man) to be the main part of the transfer, unlike the example I have shown.

Default Re: examples of how to put photos with background on T's

Thank you. Those are some very cool graphics and nice site BTW also. I know graphics can be cut to the edge and look very good, but a photo, to me, just doesn't quite look right cut to the edge. It needs some kind of frame, background or something to "set" the pic into Like the photographer will have some kind of backdrop when taking pics instead of just printing the target image on blank/white paper background. I have in mind like swirling clouds/fog feathered to nothing but I'm not very imaginative and am hoping for other ideas like Sues picture frame, actually have them already. There are "frames" in tshirt factory but that isn't a program that will give very professional results but can get some decent picture frames from so not a complete waste of money and its OK to play with.
