Stock Images and Inspiration

 

I have gotten several requests or questions about where to get some really good stock images. While there are a number of sites that have good images at varying prices, there are two that I visit frequently. The first is iStockPhoto.com. They have a large database of images, illustrations, and videos, all at varying price ranges for different uses. The second site is Fotolia.com. This site offers remarkable images and illustrations at comparable pricing to iStock. I frequent both of these sites, not just to purchase images, but also to do a little idea harvesting. These sites offer images and illustrations that other users have done and it can be quite an inspiration to just search through and just get ideas. Give it a try. You may find that spark.

Viewing and Basking in your Image

When I’m done working with an image, I like to sit and admire it (hey, I spent six hours working on it, I should). To do that, I hit the Tab key, then hit the F key three times. This hides all of the panels and toolbars and lets you see the image by itself surrounded by black. To get back to regular mode, press the F key and the Tab key one more time.
