Julie, Amber, Boyd, and Gary, I've seen this sort of thing before too! I just came back from one place where they did this sort of thing....

It's a small shop in a touristy area here in Sydney.... I spent a few minutes talking to the person running it....

At this place, they'd take your photo against a green background. Then they could manipulate your photo onto any background you wanted (there were many to choose from)....

Then, they'd print the photo onto a glossy kind of paper, and they could frame it if you wanted....

The technology didn't seem that complicated, I don't think.... With a green screen background, it should be easy to replace the green with any other background you'd like (and do some editing too)....

This place only printed on glossy paper (from little tiny photo sized to poster sized pictures).... They didn't do T-shirts. But the technology just on to glossy paper seemed straightforward enough, I thought.... :)

It'd be a fun idea.... :)
