Stock photos
I thought it'd be handy to have a list of stock photo websites here. Some are free some you need to pay, perhaps let us know if they're free or paid when posting links too. ![]() May 25 09 03:06 am Link I like the idea. However i got no ideas. ![]() May 25 09 09:18 am Link The ones I use are deviant art of course, and SXC.HU which has both free and paid. May 25 09 09:20 am Link It really is not that simple... you may pay to download a photo, but you are rarely buying the *photo* - you are buying a license to use the photo. You will need to pay careful attention to the license you buy and what it allows you to do. Simon May 25 09 09:22 am Link PAID: istockphoto.com corbis.com fotolia.com FREE: google.com (image search, extra large images) sxc.hu everystockphoto.com There's tons more to look through if you use google and type "stock photo" or any other variation. May 25 09 09:35 am Link I second iStockPhoto.com If you want real, legal stock photos, you have to pay. Sorry, end of story. iStock is cheap, and you can buy just the size you need ($1 for a web sized photo!).

Forget google and just pay for your images or take them yourself (meaning using a camera rather than pillage). May 25 09 11:42 am Link I usually do shoot my own stock, but this is a pretty good free one. http://www.cgtextures.com/ Yes, I read the license.
