Royalty free images

Hi guys, I'm just wondering where you get your images for your apps? I need some that cannot be created from scratch (not drawn) and need to make sure the pictures I use are licensed right for sale within the app?

Here are several resources I use regularly: http://www.istockphoto.com/ http://www.bigstockphoto.com/ http://www.clipart.com You can also do a google image search. Under advanced settings, check the Only images labeled for reuse, and if you're selling your app, you should also check the commercial use box

Clipart.com has an annual subscription that allows unlimited downloads. It's really reasonable, but their selection isn't as nice. The others, you pay depending on the size of the image. For web images, they're very inexpensive.

For the most part, yes. There are some restrictions. Read the fine print. You shouldn't have a problem unless your building an app that resells the pics.

I use Getty Images. They have a free iPad app as well, so you can sit down on the couch and surf for images for hours :) Its great!
