Stock Image includes stock photography and stock footage, means images that can be licensed for specific uses. their uses are very popular with designers, graphic artists, art directors, advertising agencies, and marketing professionals, in magazine advertisements, websites, and marketing brochures. Instead of hiring a professional photographer to create an image. A collection of stock photography may also be called a photo archive, picture library, image bank or photo bank.
Since 1920’s, images could be filed at an agency that negotiates licensing fees on the photographer’s behalf in exchange for a percentage. With the advent of the digital photography, and so many people armed with cameras of high enough quality to shoot great photos, it is a good idea to make these photos available to each other, at a low price, while paying the photographers a commission for each photo sold. Today, the Internet wave pushes this business increasingly blossoming online, especially with the newer micro-stock models.
In this industry, a important feature is so-called “Royalty-free”. “Free” in this context means “free of royalties (paying each time you use an image)”. It does not mean the image is free to use without purchasing a license or that the image is in the public domain. Details:
1. Pay a one-time fee to use the image multiple times for multiple purposes (with limits).
2. No time limit on when the buyer can use an image.
3. No one can have exclusive rights of a Royalty-free image (the photographer can sell the image as many times as he or she wants).
4. A Royalty-free image usually has a limit to how many times the buyer can reproduce it. For example, a license might allow the buyer to print 10,000 brochures with the purchased image. The amount of copies made is called the print run. Above that print run the buyer is required to pay a fee per brochure. Those magazines with a large print run cannot use a basic Royalty-free license and therefore they either purchase images with an extended license or have in-house photographers.
There are two kinds of licenses, Basic and Extended.
With a Basic License, licensee may print or use the image for their personal use in any size provided that there is no subsequent sale or transfer to other persons. The images that users download under the Basic License may be used to make fine art prints, on web sites, in magazines, newspaper, products, software, newsletters, advertisements, flyers, packaging, marketing material, school assignments, presentations, and within films or videos, books or booklets, in either printed or electronic media, as long as the item in which the image appears does not contradict some restrictions. Note that the maximum number of copies for printed materials is limited, for example 10,000 copies. The images that users download with the Basic License also may be used as “editorial use” to illustrate truthful articles or broadcasts appearing in magazines, newspapers or any other editorial context, in either printed or electronic media.
But only With a Basic License, users may not use the images in products in which these images are dominant feature if the product is to be subsequently sold or distributed. Examples include posters, postcards, greeting cards, mugs, T-shirts, canvas, hats, mouse pads, magnets, art prints, paintings, or calendars, and screensavers, web templates, software, web page builders, gallery, or any system where the image file can be unincorporated from the software or system or be shared among, transferred to, or otherwise distributed to a number of users. It is also forbidden to make the image available on a website for download (as wallpapers for example). The use of images for these purposes under the Basic License is not permitted. In these cases, users should buy Extended Licenses.
The following licenses offer extended types of usage for Basic Licenses. These are additional licenses to the rights included within the Basic Licenses. Note that the other restrictions still apply.
1. Increase Max Copies: Extends our Basic Licenses to a maximum amount of printed copies, let us say up to 1,000,000 copies, etc.
2. Electronic Items for Resale: this license includes the right to use the images for web templates that are sold to more customers, screensavers, e-cards, PowerPoint presentations or as wallpapers on cell phones.
3. Physical Items for Resale: includes the right to use the photos for T-shirts, postcards, greeting cards, mugs, mouse pads, posters, calendars, framed artwork that is to be sold to other customers.
Note, buying the high-resolution image (purchasing the license) does not transfer the copyright.
Another important feature of web-based stock photography collections is that the images have been embedded with meta-data, therefore making the images searchable by using keywords. This feature helps users finding photos or footages very quickly over the Internet and make the cost lower and lower. Finally, more and more people can enjoy high quality digital images and videos, and the world becomes more and more beautiful.

Dennis Eisenhower asked:
Of many gadgets that have become immensely popular these days, the cell phone stands being one among the topmost. This is one gadget that almost everyone in the world are going in for and are regularly being upgraded to the latest models that are hitting the markets. As buying trendiest of cell phones is becoming the order of the day, many people are going in for various options such as downloading wallpapers, screensavers and ringtones to personalize their phones and provide it an extra touch.
There are many different type of ringtones ranging from monophonic to polyphonic ringtones and real ringtones, MP3 ringtones, etc. While many ringtones are not compatible on every phone that is available, monophonic ringtones are usually compatible for all phones although not many prefer to have these tones on their phones.
Polyphonic ringtones are the most preferred type of ringtones that are often downloaded off the internet. This is so because these include about anywhere between 4 to 40 tones being played at once to provide a good effect to the ringtone.
So, are ringtones free for download or is it necessary to buy ringtones?
Although some ringtones are available for free, it is often required to buy ringtones to be able to download them and use them on your cell phone. But, why is it essential to buy ringtones?
Ringtones are downloaded from ringtone providers who have to pay royalty to recording companies to be able to use the original music that is being played in the ringtone. Many also need to pay the service providers for enabling these ringtones to be played by users of the particular network.
But there are some options where you need not buy ringtones but it is available for free. These generally contain ringtones from original music for which the copyright period is over and is free for use. Also, it is sometimes possible to find the latest music ringtones when some bands provide these ringtones as a promotion for their latest albums. Also, some websites generate revenue through advertisements that enable them to provide free ringtones that actually helps in improving web traffic.
But, opting for free ringtones or going in for cheap ringtones is not a good choice always. The internet is a hub for many unscrupulous elements that misuse copyright laws and bring out pirated versions of ringtones that is actually illegal to use. There are also sites where downloading free ringtones can invite trouble in the form of adware or spyware that can cause many difficulties and lots of frustration.
An option used by many to avoid the necessity to buy ringtones is to use a converter that helps in converting audio files to a format that is compatible for use on the cell phone. Some people even use the composer option on their cell phone to create their own ringtones. People also use methods like infrared transfer and Bluetooth transfer of various types of ringtones to enable them to get the latest options without having to buy ringtones.
Although it is advisable to buy ringtones instead of going in for free ringtones that are available, it is best you carefully research and see if it is safe to try the free options or cheap ringtones as there might be some malicious intent behind providing such an option to you.

There are a great many screensavers out there for your computer. Do you know how to tell a good one from the rest? The good ones, being true screensavers do exactly what their name implies. On the other hand if you don’t use a good one, you probably just have a screen decoration using the name screensaver.
Many people don’t know there is a difference between screensavers, they see the name screensaver and trust the software for what it is supposed to do. In this article I will discuss these differences and how you can spot them in your screensaver software.
There are just as many free downloadable screensavers out there, as there are retail screensavers. Retail screensavers have some very good ones as well as some not so good ones. This also applies to the free downloadable screensavers, … there are good ones and not so good ones. Regardless if you download free screensavers or if you purchase them, you should know some things about identifying a good screensaver.
The first of some important things is watching for a screensaver where most of the picture remains still and in one position while it plays. A example of this would be a picture of a fairground but the only moving part of the entire picture is a marry-go-round. Everything else remains still and in one spot. This is a perfect example of a screensaver that can etch your computer screen. Another example is a monitor I saw at our local Goodwill store when I was looking for music CD’s last summer. As I walked the isles of the store being a little nosey, I saw a used computer monitor on the shelf for sale. The monitor wasn’t plugged in, and I saw the screen of this monitor was severely etched by a cheap screen saver. It was very clear which screensaver did it too. It was one of the Coca Cola screensavers that are out there. This one was the one with the bears sitting in the snow watching fireworks. The image of the bears sitting in the snow was etched into the lower half of the monitor’s screen. This is exactly what I’m talking about.
Secondly, any screensaver that has a still frame or border around the changing images and is consistent through the playing of the screensaver is another type of screensaver that can etch your computer screen. Damage like this can happen on computers that leave screensavers run for days on end, such as office or other business computers that leave screen savers play for entire weekends, over night and during holiday shut downs. One may ask, “how can you tell if a computer screen is etched, and what does it mean?”.
Identifying a etched computer screen is very easy. Simply turn off the power to the monitor, wait a moment for the monitor to settle after the power was shut off. Now look closely at the computer screen while the power is still off. If you can see the images or shadows of your computers images in the black screen, … this means your computer screen is etched and the monitor is permanently damaged. This is what screensavers are supposed to avoid. However if using a screensaver (example) that uses a frame or border around its images, it is likely after long term use that the frame or border of such a screen saver will etch into the screen. This means the shadow for the frame or border will be visible on the screen when the power is off. This also holds true for screensavers that use logo’s, names or clocks in the corner of the screensaver that don’t move and hold the same spot while the screensaver is playing.
This is why the ideal screensaver is one that blacks out the whole monitor leaving a dark screen with no pixels at all being lit-up, … just a black screen until you bump the mouse or keyboard. In fact, this black screen option is one of the choices for your screensaver if you have Windows XP, … go into the control panel then choose the display icon, then click on screensaver and go down to the screensaver called ‘blank’. Yes, this option works on systems running single and dual monitors.
Looking at the Windows XP screensavers is a good way to show a person a example of perfect screensavers. Super dark backgrounds and the ones that do show images, … the images don’t hold the same position throughout the playing of the screensaver. They constantly move around the black background avoiding the possibility of any etching.
After reading this article, one might ask “okay, I just noticed I have one of the less than favorable screensavers with stationary images, … should I replace it?”.
Actually that is up to you. You can replace it if you desire. You can also turn off your monitor or set up the monitor to shut off entirely if not used after a certain amount of time. I have my computer set up to show black screens after five minutes of no use, and after twenty minutes the computer shuts off both of my monitors until I bump the mouse or keyboard. Setting up your computer to shut off the monitors can be done through the control panel of your Windows operating system and going through the power options. This feature can easily extend the life of a monitor because it remembers to shut the monitor down even when you forget, … plus it saves a little electricity.
If you choose to replace the screensaver, … before spending money on another screensaver, try downloading some shareware or freeware screensavers first. Then if you are not satisfied or didn’t find something you like you can exercise the option to buy one. This way you tried your free resources before spending money.
Remember, … a good screensaver is one where the entire screen is constantly changing, nothing stays in one spot without moving.

It is a well known fact a few decades back computers used to have serious problems with monitors. When static images were left on them, monitors could easily burn them in permanently. To fight this problem, people came up with software programs that were set to change the images displayed on computer screensaver after a certain period of time, thus preventing monitors from burning. These programs were the first screensavers.
Today monitors are a lot more advanced, and displaying static images for many hours is no longer a problem. However, screensavers did not disappear; instead, they have developed and now have many new functions.
Today you may use screensavers to show your individuality and spirit, you may make your desktop unique and thus different from million of other desktops! Blooming gardens and birds’ songs, gentle murmur of a brook and leaves rustling, fascinating and unforgettable space travels and many more pictures from you dreams will color your every day at home or at the office. Screensavers will always improve your mood and raise your spirit, adding something interesting to your daily life.
If you are fond of taking pictures or have collected a great stock of nice images you can make a slideshow of them and place it as a screensaver on your desktop. You can find lots of programs and utilities in the Internet which will help you to create your own screensavers. There are also huge amounts of the websites which will give you a wide variety of screensavers for your desktop.
At present 3D animated screensavers present the greatest interest. They are multifarious and spectacular and sometimes people watch them as a short movie. Such screensavers will accompany you during the holidays or take you away from boring daily routines, to the dream islands and tropical paradises, or to the nice house with a roaring fireplace and cat watching it from the armchair. Just have a look at the 3D screensaver and you will see there almost a real world, with awesome nature or mysterious and breathtaking Universe, with soothing sea and warm sand or any other place where you would like to be at this moment!
When you find a screensaver of your dream and download it, you install it and change it to your taste by choosing different scenes, views, tunes, etc. It is should be mentioned though that not all of the screensavers have various settings and can be customized. As a rule, most slideshow screensavers or free screensavers have limited functionality. Still, even among those you are likely to find attractive and colorful sceneries.
Brighten up your desktop with a screensaver and get a world of your dreams!

A screensaver is a computer program or application that replaces the image on a screen when the computer is not in use. Screensavers today are used for both entertainment and / or security reasons.
You can configure your screensaver with a password so that anyone who wishes to use your computer will need to have an authorize password before they are allowed to use it. In addition, you could use your screensavers during fairs and exhibitions for promotional purposes. With a specially designed screensaver you could capture the attention of browsers or shoppers at exhibitions and event based shows.
Today screensavers have been so advanced that it delivers high quality graphics such as 3D and / or real time images. Human factor research has shown that using real images are much faster than using rss feeds. This allows for information or warning devices of sever weather conditions, accidents or news etc.
Mostly a screensaver is use by the user for entertainment, aesthetic reasons when the computer is left alone while the user is away. Imagine sitting in your workstation taking a short break, sipping away your favorite beverage while trying to find for something to look at to ‘get away’ from work for awhile.
The screensaver saves the day. It really depends on your preference, for example, I would love to have a deep blue 3D real fish aquarium screensaver. I can see these 3D animated fishes swimming away, taking my mind off my work for awhile. It is as if having a fish tank or an aquarium in your office without the hassle of changing the water or feeding the fishes.
What about this? 3D animated water fountain equipped with the following sound of water. Providing tranquility and Zen feel at workplace. Well, if you like Alps and mountains there are even screensavers on them, so are birds, wildlife and many, many other themes you can think of. Best of all you could download them free. But I would definitely warn you to be careful where you download your screensavers and wallpapers from. Many now on the internet has spyware and adware included and may corrupt your computer or desktop.
I have setup a mini website that hosts free screensavers and wallpapers that are certified save for use by eTrust, a consumer authority on the net. Yes, the screensavers and wallpapers are free. You can choose from a range of static, animated, 2D, 3D and a variety of themes. Enjoy! http://screensavers.weebly.com

James Lunden asked:
Screensavers were initially invented as a way to prevent ‘burn in’ on computer screens. Burn-in is what happens when a single image is displayed on screen for an extended period of time, resulting in a ‘burn’ of that image permanently damaging your screen.
The older, earlier generation CRT monitors, particularly the black and white ones would generate a mark on the glass screen if a static image was left on for overly long. As an example you may have been playing a computer game, pressed the pause button to answer the ringing phone, and got so caught up in the conversation that you forgot about the computer. By the time you come back an hour later, the image would have burnt onto the display, leaving your computer monitor irreparably damaged. With an automatically starting screensaver installed, this situation would have been prevented.
Today, with the prevalence of newer more advanced CRT and LCD screens, which are highly resistant to display damage, burn-in is no longer an issue. These newer generation of monitors have in built energy-saver capabilities, which renders them highly resistant to phosphor burn in.
However this does not mean that screensavers are now useless. They are in fact still very popular, and are used mainly for aesthetic, entertainment appeal.
There are many animated and complex screensavers which people put on their computers to watch them as their monitor screens idle. These more complex screensavers do however use up a good deal of CPU, and are not strictly a good option for computers with lower memory. Some examples of animated screensavers which are very popular are the aquarium or moving fish ones.
A couple alternatives to animated screensavers, are either a blank screen, which is quite boring, or, better yet, a wallpaper or slide show screensaver. Slide show screensavers display a continuous rotation of either photos, or wallpaper images on the screen, which are both entertaining and use minor CPU power. Many of them now come with special transition effects between each rotating image, which can make for quite interesting viewing in itself.
There are many different types of wallpaper screensavers floating around the net, which cater to all different tastes, including celebrities, cars, movies, nature, cartoons and many more. Some people may even prefer to build their very own screensavers, with family photos or pictures of pets or friends.
So in conclusion, are screensavers still necessary from 2007 onwards? The answer is certainly a no. However that does not mean that they aren’t still being enjoyed by millions of computer users around the world. Computers today are becoming very personal objects, as we interact with them daily, and a screenaver can serve as another avenue of customization.
