Another options is to manipulate your images to make them unique. If you use Photoshop there are all sorts of options. You can see some suggestions on my web site CampPhotoshop.com.

Be sure that you do not always use the most popular images from a service like theirs.

However, I'm intriqued by Flickr and some of the comments made about that so I'll be giving that a try. Like my other marketing twin said, we love iStock… great for what we need.

We use istockphoto and photoexpert. Its amazing how the Internet has helped bring the cost down of pictures. I remember the days when we used to pay a few dollars dollars for the same types of picture. The right picture can definitely turn a website from a mind process to a heart process. Hi John

I've been using Photoshop Elements for a couple of months now and it's so much easier (and cheaper) for the simple tasks I need. I love Istockphotos, but have also started using Flickr for photos recently and found this post really useful for understanding what you can and what you can't use. http://www.skelliewag.org/a-complete-guide-to-finding-and-using-incredible-flickr-images-162.htm I tried using Photoshop for quite a while and really struggled through.

Love the search capabilities there - you can type in almost anything! I've used Flickr some as well, but didn't find it as easy to navigate. I look forward to looking into some of the other suggestions people have made. I love iStock – so easy to use. Love the search capabilities there – you can type in almost anything!

It's great to have access to soo many pictures for a beyond reasonable cost. Ive used istock before for website pictures and for direct mailing.

I thought I'd take the opportunity of your post to mention my related topic Photoshop oriented web site CampPhotoshop.com. Currently in beta, the site will ultimately provide tutorials for beginner to intermediate Photoshop users on how to create special effects and edit images in Adobe Photoshop. I’m giving away the tips for free. Value added tutorials will also be available very soon for a small charge. Related Photoshop freebies, such as brushes and actions will also be available for those signing up for the CampPhotoshop newsletter. If any of your readers are interested I’d appreciate any helpful comments about the site as well as suggestions for tutorials they would like to see. John,
