Hi, I just wanted to ask for the experienced, do graphic designers, in order to sell their designs, they have to take a picture of every little picture? Say for example I want to make a picture of this amazing beach to sell, I take the beach picture with the sun blue sky. What will happen if I get like a orange sky theme from Google Image Search but fix it so it can look like sunset scene beach? Can I get in trouble? Or even the smallest detailed? What if I want to add like a pool to look like its a resort? The pool picture is from Google Image Search. If I make money from my picture, can I get in trouble? Or even the smallest pictures details like beach beds? I really don't know the business very well but I am really interested. I have a long way to this knowledge. Do you have to be a photographer? I remember reading that is not necessary but it can help, so how do people who don't know much of photograph get these pictures, do they draw them and make them look real? Honestly though, I do like to learn but everything seems tougher as I start learning more and more.
Thanks
