I am starting a website selling t-shirts that I make...(airbrush hobby). And I want to have my friends model my shirts. I bought a Kodak DC265 and photoshop (Like the salesperson suggested) but I cannot get my model pictures to look like the one on Eddie Bauer.com, Gap.com, Dillards.com and other major sites. I know presentation is everything and I want mine to look just like theirs not like an amateur photoshoot. Did I buy the wrong camera?..not enough accessories?...should I have bought a 35mm and a scanner? I emailed those sights to see how they make their pictures look like that but got no resonse. Can you guys help me. Lee

What lighting are you using? The photos on www.gap.com use at least three lights, possibly more, including a large softbox. You might visit your local bokshop or library and look up the subject.
