I'm currently trawling various Image Libraries for some landscape, flowers and panoramic images.

I've not bought images off such a library before so was wondering if anyone had any recommendations or tips to pass on.

Also can I literally do whatever I want with "Royalty Free" images ?

Free stock photo site.
A lot of the images are completely free, the rest are free but you need to email them if you want to use it for commercial purposes.

Cheers.

Creatas looks good. I want to print the images on products to sell so that's why I'm concerned as to what "royalty free" means.

I think if they're licensed you pay per use.

Royalty free, you pay a bit more, but its then yours to use as you wish. But obviously not resell.

My missus used to work for Creatas who licence most of the big companies work so its a good one stop shop. They are also often cheaper as they were happy to run on lower margins.

Gurgy, check the thread tonight, I'll ask the missus exactly what royalty free means. I'm sure you can use it for that purpose though.
