What are these strange image numbers? (040710-1001)
The first 6 digits are the date photograph was created e.g. yymmdd
The next 4 or 5 digits are the unique image designator for that image e.g. 1001
Sample image # 040710-1001 040710-1001 July 10, 2004 - Image#1001


Copyright Symbols
We use what some would consider "heavy handed" copyright notices and watermarks. This is to protect both us and you. By reducing internet theft of images and hotlinking, the images you license are fresher.

Site Colours
Your image selection requirements are the primary purpose for this site. A darker background frames the viewed image, making it easier for you to see than if surrounded by glaring white or (?).

Keywords
There are many "Keywords" on the bottom of most pages. This text helps the search engines help YOU to get HERE. It must have worked...

Licensing Answers
Rights Managed Usage (RM)
We manage each usage of Rights Managed (RM) images. You license only the specific rights that you require. You can prevent competitors from using image, or buy non-exclusive unlimited usage. In many cases you can license exclusive use of image.

Royalty Free Usage (RF)
Rights are cleared for most usage except selling/licensing/distributing the file or image itself. Licensed for repeated usage on up to 3 computers in a single office. OK for most usages both editorial and commercial.

How can we offer both (RM) and (RF) on the same image?
I am glad you asked. Most stock images are released with either Rights Managed(RM) or Royalty Free(RF) usage available. We have thousands of images and only some have been licensed to anyone ever. Thousands of fresh images are here for you to use first, or exclusively. If an image is shown available as both RM and RF, then that particular image has not been licensed to date. In this case you can choose either RM or RF. The initial licensing of these images will set that image's future usage, you decide! Since these images were all created in house we have reliable records of image licensing.

Personal Use
You plan to use images or photos for personal use only. Modification or reproduction including scanning is not permitted.

Editorial Use
Images published by news, media or other party with primary intention of sharing information. We will supply images for most legitimate media requests for a nominal fee.

Commercial Use
Images or prints are to be sold, given away or published in material either for sale or used to promote a product or person. No prints may be used for commercial use under any circumstances. We provide digital files specifically tailored to publisher's needs.

Viewing Answers
Adjust your monitor to best view our site and ALL OTHER sites on the web
Many monitors are adjusted poorly or not at all. You can easily adjust your brightness & contrast settings on most monitors to greatly improve your view of the web, including of course our own images. The image below shows 11 shades of grey from White to Black. If you cannot see all 11, adjust your monitor to see as many as possible using your Brightness & Contrast settings.
Feel free to use this image on your own site if you wish. We certainly didn't invent this idea but took the time to create our own image and post for the benefit of all. Pass it Forward!

You can choose a balance of text size vs how much of a web page is displayed on your monitor.
