images for use in web design

Hello, i searched for this but i couldn't find anything useful, what can i say i suck at searching. I'm interested to know where do you find images that you use in your design, like a girl that smiles on a sale site or server for hosting design and so on. From where do you buy it, what kind of rights do we have to take into consideration when using such images in a template that we intend to sell?

 

Hi

There are lots of stock photo sites, I use www.dreamstime.com and bigstockphoto.com, but if you search stock photos you will find plenty more.

 

You'd be buying a licence to do ... something with the image. Check what that licence says about reselling. You want "royalty free stock photos".

 

i'm looking at dreamstime.com and i'm trying to figure out what i'm allowed to do with images that are in the free section, if i understood their TOS correctly i can't use images from there in website templates that i intend to sell:

I guess i'll have buy images, this is free, just not the way i thought it was....

 

Try www.myfreedigitalphotos.com I'm sure you will be more than satisfied with their free images!! All Large size too...

 

Personally I use istockphoto.com there prices can be high but they have a large selection.

 

We have been using istockphoto.com for almost 4 years. Happy with their variety.

 

iStockphoto, Shutterstock, Fotolia and (completely free) SXC.hu

 

There are a lot of options to find good images for your design and websites when you take a paid subscription for any of the well recommended stock photo website.
Give a try to Google image search. But be sure to check whether that image comes with any copyright or legal statement with it .

 

Much sites are having a good collection of categorized images. You can find your category by searching on google.

 

istockphoto.com - the best for me, does the job perfectly for everything I need

 

Try Flickr if it's for a non commercial use - make sure you choose a creative commons license.

 

I use Istockphoto mostly, and also sometimes I use images from StockXchng. Envato is launching a stock photo site and I will most likely be using it quite a lot since I really like the envato network

 

Here is a small but unique stock photo website is http://www.photo-wizard.net

Here is where you can find some other inexpensive stock photo directories:

Goodluck

 

I use Stock XChng, gets me large photos too IStock Photo has a large selection but you need to buy the larger images.

 

Istock and dreams time. You have to pay for the better photos, but I have to say, for a couple of dollars, the difference is significant.

 

google images, or google advanced image search and some of image search engines work great during my projects

I prefer Dreamstime.com they have a large variety of images to choose from.

 

I always use I stock. Some of the prices are high but generally they are good.

 

Design and development is the prime activity of all the web designing companies. The thing kept in mind should be the image of the client and services offered by him to the world.
