    Hi Laurian,

    I've got a few hundred I can sell to you - don't worry, only a few bucks. They're fully editable within Photoshop, too.

    If you would like to see a few samples, pm me.

    Good luck!

    I use google images and other image search engines and then
    Find Vertis Fluid Mask3 and you will be able to cut a person out of any photo and send it right to photoshop and make nice looking graphics for your site

    You really want to be careful just grabbing images from searches. They could have copyrights attached which could come back and bite you later on.

    I tried to share some relevent links to free stock photo sites etc. but my post count isn't high enough yet. =( I will pm them to you. They are not my sites but they should help. Okay I can't pm or anything yet. I guess I will have to up my post count and then I can share the links to the stock photo sites. *blush*

    I also purchased Hemera's Photo Clip Art collections on the cheap through ebay. They are nice quality images and many of them have the backgrounds removed so you can just drop them into your design.

    I hope this post helps. =)

    I agree with Heidi on this one. Consider for a moment the case of an actor who was properly paid for their photograph, then years later that photo was used for another purpose without their consent.

    Source: Actors Fight for Control Over Their Photos

    Stern noted that even if an actor or model has been paid for a photo shoot, one of those shots could be misappropriated. Such was the case for Russell Christoff, a former model who was paid $250 for a photo shoot for Nestlé in 1986. In 2002 he was shocked to find his photo on a jar of Taster's Choice coffee -- an endorsement that hadn't been agreed upon in the contract he signed 16 years earlier. Christoff sued Nestlé and was awarded $15.6 million.
    And there have been other examples. But you have to have permission, or use only images with the correct attribution and license. Instead of just grabbing what you want from the Internet, do a search for GPL and creative commons.

        Yes, they are free. No need to purchase credits. What your referring to is probably their sister site Stockxpert. Sxc.hu is absolutely free.
