Building on my last post, this list comprises some stock photo websites that offer photos and digital graphics at a reasonable price.

Dreamstime

Dreamstime is definitely worth checking out.  They have over twelve million images that can be purchased using credits. Eight credits cost $9.99 and images are available for as low as one credit. Granted, they are smaller size; you'll pay more for a banner size or high resolution.  One week subscriptions start at $44.99, allowing you ten downloads per day for a total of 70 downloads, but again, these would be smaller sized images; the higher the res, the more you pay.

Dreamstime has a free section with over 12,500 pages of free photos (20 images per page).  I haven't yet located a catalog of the free images, but they are searchable.

The site offers a royalty-free license, which means that you pay for the image only once and can use it as many time as you like (with a maximum of 500,000 copies for printed material).  Royalty free images may be used in fine art prints, on websites, in print, or in advertising material.  Images may not be redistributed.

Stockfresh

Stockfresh has a large collection of quality stock photos and graphics, often with a creative slant on common topics.   

As with other sites, images are purchased with credits.  Five credits cost $4.99, with smaller images selling for one credit.  Two types of subscriptions are available; starting at five image downloads per day for one month for $99. If you need more than five downloads per day, a 25 image download per day for one month starts at $249.

Stockfresh's standard license lets you use the image on websites, blogs, newsletters, advertising, multimedia presentations, movies, etc., and in print in magazines, newspapers, books, brochures, and promotional items.  You may also use them on business cards, letterheads or to decorate your home or office.

Prohibited uses are the same as other sites, but an extended license can be obtained that expressly permits your particular use.  Extended licenses include using the image on items for resale, use in website templates, document template, wallpaper, screensavers, etc.

Photos.com

Photos.com is not free, but they have a very nice collection of nature and scenery shots, encompassing over 10,000 pages with 60 images on each page.  Their 'Concepts' section is even larger.  While their technology section is better than some, I was still disappointed.

Image packs can be purchased for as low as $0.90 per download according to the site, but in order to get that $0.90 price you have to purchase 50 images. On the other hand, you can buy one image for $1.99 but if you want high resolution you're going to have to pay $7.99, which is roughly what you'll pay for a high res image from the 'credit' sites.  They also offer subscriptions for 'As low as $19 per week' but that's a little misleading.  When you click through to get the details you find that the smallest subscription is for three months.  You also learn that the "$19 per week offer" is attached to the yearly subscription, which allows you to download 100 images per week (at 0.19 per image) but the end total is a whopping $988.  Not for this girl!
