    As we see on various product selling websites men and women standing together looking upward towards product or something else.
    But i want to ask is there any free resource(s) available on internet to get these kind of images.
    Thank you.

    Hi

    This company is not free but its only $1 per image, you have to buy $20 credit minimum but its a good resource imo!

    A royality is a use license for images. you pay for the use of the image..you can pay each time it shows.

    A royality-free image is an image that you pay a one time fee to use it many times.

    A completely free image is a image that the photographer has given free use.

    A copyright free image is an image that has no copyright attach and can be used by anyone..nasa often posts copyright free images and PD PHOTO give copyrights to users.

    Often "free" sites attach a "link" trade to the images. You may use the images for any reason as long as you link back to the website.

    The STOCK EXCHANGE Has many completely free to use images but you must look under the large thumb nails of the images to find out if the photographer has given free use of the image.

    So in conclusion....

    If it says royality free..it is not free.

    thanks, Corena...
    Damn, it means that if I'm using pictures at my site - owners of photos can write abuse or something else... :(
    I did not know about it before :(

    Even if I changed name and size of picture?
    I know that many sites are using full-PAID pictures without paing! Especially our Russian webmasters...
    I want to create full-legal sites, and I don't want any troubles with people or search-engines... :(

    If you go to The Morgue File or to Stock Xchange to find new images..there are hundreds to choose from.

    If you need business people and you do not mind giving some space to a link
    business people looking up this site has very good stock business people and only wants you to place a link back to there site on your page.

    As for change the size of the image..that will not work. It is still copyright infringemant.
    As for other webmasters..If a company finds that they are stealing images there are stiff penalites and if the sites do not cease and desist when asked..the person who owners the images can speak with their service provider and have the sites frozen.

    I hope this helps you.

    Are you on dial-up?

    You can always resize/reduce them afterwards.

    I've never used it myself, but a while ago my friend told me about this site: creativecommons.org. Maybe you can find the kind of images/pictures you're looking for there.

    render them? If it is a copyrighted image and you only use a filter it is still copyright infringement.

    It's a copyright issue that ought to be taken as seriously as someone taking your site and publishing somewhere else as their own site. It's the same idea. There are plenty of places to get real, quality, affordable stock photos. Use them. I like istockphoto.com . Their stuff starts at one dollar.
