Where do you get images from?

i use google to search images when i need to make some project but doesnt fit in all my needs at all

any other better place?

 

www.sxc.hu is my main resource. (free)

http://www.bigstockphoto.com/ (paid, via paypal and it's affordable)

 

Most of the images I use, I normally get from http://www.deviantart.com/ Its a free website, full of loads of user submitted galleries. So far, I have always been able to get anything I have wanted or needed from it.

 

corbis is a biggie although expensive in my opinion

 

That's a big no no... those images from devianart are copyrighted to the artists and you would be making huge copyright infringements.

Before using ANY images.. make sure they clearly state that it's "royalty-free" and check the terms of usage as well.

 

I like the Stock Exchange

 

i use iStock.

 

]www.sxc.hu is my main resource. (free)
this is first time I hear about this site
thanks for sharing

 

Please don't use deviantart unless it's for educational purposes like practicing. Many of those works are copyrighted. Better off to use sxc.hu.

 

thanks yall for the responses they were very helpful to me

 

[URL="http://www.deviantart.com]Deviantart [/URL] has been my #1 choice for years too...It is a free images galore and I love it

 

Have you tried our http://www.publicdomainpictures.net

 

I like your site! It should be added to the list!!

Respect the copyrights of the artists

 

I get mine made. My sister does a pretty good job.

hey, google pictures are cpyrights too, beware!

SXC is the best choice, dreamstime is actually pretty good too, pictures start at $1 though

 

another user of sxc.hu here...awesome free quality...

 

http://www.Photos.com

We use this for our Web and Print design needs.

Great Database. Nice Variety. Pretty Affordable. No Tension about Copyright Issues.

Enjoy !!

 

I have tried to gather all free image sites to this forum thread here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=268332

 

I recently made a blog post on this very subject.

Be careful where you get your images from and always ensure that you have them licenced appropriately for your intended usage.

 

StockExchange is DEFINITELY your safest bet.
Anywhere else could be putting you into copyright jeopardy.

Deviant art does have copyright. All the submitted artwork is copyright of the artist, and using it is a STRICT copyright infringement unless stated.

I'm trying to find other sources for abstract graphics which I can use for free while creating templates. So far, all sources of abstract graphics I've found have all had copyright issues or have wanted a link back on every page. If I'm creating Wordpress Themes, I can't link back from all pages, can I? :wink:

I just checked out www.publicdomainpictures.com and I absolutely love it!
I think I'll bookmark it and use it for finding header images for my future Wordpress themes! THanks for the link.
