Where do Images Come From
Following on from Dcasa14 comment on the power of images I would like to discuss the source of such images.
The Website publisher will have to select the images but where do they come from? A few of us will have their own stock but most will have to hunt around for the right image which we think will have the power to attract attention. For some it may be a quick and easy process but for most it will be daunting. How do you source free and unrestricted images to use on your websites? Is it free, is it copywight, will I have to pay royalties, does it have an end date? or is there some source that will give me some security.
Having wasted some time trying to find useful images at a good resolution I would like to know if there are site that can provided a decent range of unrestriced images. I have only tripped over Simplfy.com which provides a range of images but it is still confusing about copywight and cost
Is they an community knowledge about likely sites for images and photographs?
Regards
Rackie

Google also offers free images just by doing this: - Follow these simple steps to find royalty free images using the Google Images advanced search.
1.Enter a search term in Google Images search.
2.Click the Gear icon, then select Advanced search.
3.Scroll down and use the usage rights drop down menu to select free to use or share, even commercially.
