    What are some good sites for getting royalty free photo's other than on the google image search?

    I need mostly business type pictures.

    Thanks.

    Yahoo is not bad if you do not have huge collections

    My two favorites:

    http://www.photos.com/
    http://www.istockphoto.com/

    Photos.com is subscription-based and is cheaper if you pay for several months at a time. IStockPhoto.com is per-image but REALLY cheap (like $1 or less per image) and is great because photographers post/sell their own stuff there instead of selling it to the company.

    Others you might consider are Corbis.com, Comstock and a couple others out there, but Photos.com and IStockPhoto.com are, to me, the best if you can't afford Getty, and, frankly, most of us can't.

    www.flickr.com

    One of the best. Your photos ARE link-able. And it's free to a certain point.

    Cesar,

    I tried to download some of the photos from microsoft and I couldn't find where to open them. It says it transfers them to the clip organizer, but it's not there.

    how I do I pull up these pictures (not the thumb, but the full image I downloaded)?

    Photos.com
    IStockPhoto.com

    :)

    They are royalty free and reasonably priced. Plus, we have some photo libraries on CD as well.

    I usually double click on the picture I want then click "bigger preview" then simply right click and "save image as"
