Where do you guys usually get the backgrounds for your edited screenshots? Whether it be a cloud deck or airport, where's usually the best place.

I usually use:

airliners.net
webshots.com
google images.

Any good ones?

I always use Google myself. I also always select "Large Images" when searching, so that I get a nice, big image that can be resized without losing quality.

Yeah, the problem with Airliners though, usually there's an aircraft in the picture. I figure the best is either "Airport Overview" or "Window Views"

I ought to try A.net, as I've always used Google image search. Can be a pain if you've already taken the screenshot you wanted, and you can't find a pic with the right lighting!

The clone tool will come in handy to get rid of any annoying wings!

Well that only works with like.. straight cloud backgrounds, if it's some sunset or something, that's darn near impossible. Ususally the pictures are so big on A.net that you can just clip out the plane, and salvage enough of the picture.

However, it seems that if I'm looking for something specific, like the side view of a runway or something, I'll just end up take the picture in FS, then HEAVILY editing it with grass textures, etc.
