Digital Vision's collections I believe are distributed in the US by Eyewire
(formerly adobe image club), www.eyewire.com. You can also check out
PictureQuest. One of the better object collections is from a company called
RubberBall. They have lots of people as well as things without backgrounds.
I think you can find there collection at PictureQuest www.picturequest.com.
Good luck.
Jeff Phillips
