Stock Sites

Stock sites are repositories that contain a massive amount of stock images, or high quality images that are ready to be manipulated and used in your creative endeavors. Stock images are helpful when you need a specific image, but do not have access to equipment, software, or skill to create one. When using these images, be sure to pay close attention to the licensing of each image: some of them require payment, some of them require citation, and some of them limit the distribution of the derivative work. See the Content Repositories for a list of stock sites.
