wow...did this thread miss google search? Select images and you can search for anything including pics with transparency and animated gifs. Some you can't use but I usually always find something to use very quickly.

Google image search is not a list of stock images. Very rarely can you find one that you are licensed to use for free from it.

Are you familiar with copyrights ©?

I get a lot of clients saying just use google images, gwpriester is right on the money with his last post. You have to be careful on what pictures you use.

gwpriester frequently does a Google search for 3D stereograms and finds many of his image being used without permission--one person even had a Kindle book, of my images. And then gwpriester has to spend time to have those images removed. The Kindle book came down in under 12 hours and the so-called author I am sure got an ear full.

richinri - Go to Amazon.com and buy a copy of Electronic Highway Robbery - An artists guide to copyrights in the digital era by Mary E. Carter. A very bright person who is near and dear to my heart.
