...scene in photoshop.? I have a few wedding and very important pictures that due to circumstances ( weather etc) were taken in cluttered backgrounds. I recently perfected a technique of cuttting people out of one picture and blending them in a far more flattering and beautiful scene from another picture in photoshop cs4.

My problem is where can I find a lot of photographs to do this.
googled for stock photos but finding it hard to find suitable stuff.

Advice greatly appreciated.
 
If you have access, I would take a bunch of digital pictures of whatever scenery you want. you can then upload this as one layer into PS, layer your cutouts on top, then merge the layers. I can't remember the name of the tool but there is a blender, i think it looks like a little sponge, that you can set to help you blend. If the photo obviously looks a lot more clear or in a different light than the cutouts, play with the visual settings in photoshop. change the blue and red tones to match that of your pictures, or set it to be less clear and more blurry. there are a lot of cool tools in PS now to help you do exactly this. you could also look up more specific pictures in stock, like paris, winter days, sunshine, the beach, etc. the more specific key words, the better. hope this helps.
