There are people with decal machines in places such as a swap meets or indoor swap meets that do it cheaper. I bought the 35th anniversary stripes from a decal guy in an indoor swap meet for $80, and they look exactly the same. All I did was took a .jpg file of a 35th anniversary car with a good view of the stripes, and the guy from the decal machine simply opened up the file on his computer and selected the stripes, then the machine made the decal.

He might have used the picture you gave him to open an existing file of the stripe pattern but there is no way to take a picture of a car with stripes, open that file and have it cut those stripes 
$80 is unbelievably cheap too for that stripe kit. Have you installed these yet?
For the Manta type stripes, $100 is pretty cheap as well especially considering you get two of them and they use the top notch vinyl.
