Methods for generating composite images are disclosed. A first image is selected via a Web interface presented on a browser and a second image is selected via a Web interface presented on the browser. The selection of the first image and the second image is communicated to a server via a network. A composite image is automatically generated, which includes filtering to simulate an appearance of the second image as applied to the first image according to a manufacturing process associated with a filter selection. If applicable, an embroidery price of the composite image is automatically calculated, the embroidery price comprising an estimated price for the application of a design represented by the second image to a product represented by the first image. The composite image, along with the calculated embroidery price (if applicable), is communicated from the server to the browser via the network.
