    Free Large Photos

    Free Large Photos contains a collection of over 600 images and allows others to use the photos as long as credit is given and it's not used for making money. An RSS feed is available for the collection and here are the most requested photos.

    Click any image to view its page and its full sized version and its categories. Each image comes with a short caption. The Paris Opera Garnier photo is gorgeous.

    Get images covering outdoors, nature, travel, transportation and more. While it's a small collection, it's well done.

    Kingdom Graphix Gallery

    The photo collection at Kingdom Graphix Gallery is free provided you link back to kingdomgraphix.com/gallery. You can even "alter, chop, slice, make psp tubes or brushes using these images" according to its Terms. Here's an unusual, but nice term of usage, "You MAY NOT use my images for ANY projects that include animal cruelty, hate, adult websites, religious defamation, violence of any kind or race defamation."

    To download photos, requires free registration. Regular visitors can see what's new by clicking New Images. Also view the top images by rating, votes, hits and downloads. You can't directly access the top images from the list. Instead you'll need to do a search or click the category and find it there.

    The site has over 900 images sorted into 20 categories. Other than regular photos, it has textures and manipulated images. The Ice Castle images are breathtaking. You won't get more than thumbnail pages until you register and the collection is worthy.

    MSN.com is a large network that provides or links to news, resources, directories, guides, online applications and searches. Its search box appears through most of its network and when you enter a keyword, Images appears in the results page. You can also get to Images by going to the MSN.com home page.

    When you get your first search results, the Settings option is available. Click it to change the display, results, SafeSearch, location and language options. The search results lets you know how many results it has found and whether you want it to display All, Large, Medium, Small, Color or B&W (black and white). All overrides everything including Color and B&W. If you have B&W selected and click All, then color images appear.

    If you're not happy with the results or find a problem, click Help us improve that appears on the bottom of the results page. Here you can provide feedback from general comment and getting inappropriate images to copyrighted image and a problem. Click the image to get its details as well as the page it's on. MSN makes it clear that "MSN Search is not affiliated with the contents or authors of the page displayed below. We are not responsible for its content. The image may be subject to copyright laws." So check the image's page to find out if it's copyrighted or not. If it's yours, you can report the image.

    http://www.picsearch.com/

    picsearch

    picsearch is an image search engine that uses its own technology to crawl the Web and index the images. The Terms of Use says the images are protected by copyright. If you want to use any image found through picsearch, contact the webmaster or the copyright holder to get permission or it may be clearly stated on the Web site where you find the picture. This page also explains how you can prevent your pictures from being included in picsearch.

    Family filters are in place at all times, so parents don't have to worry about kids turning off the filter. Help explains how to search and how to improve your results. Preferences allow you to change the interface language (nine choices) and whether or not you want the results to open in the same window or in a new window.

    Advanced search options let you select whether you want only images, animation or both; color, black and white or both and the picture size. When doing a search, the results page suggests other relevant keywords to help you narrow down or broaden your results. The thumbnail page displays the image size, source and info. Source takes you to the page where the image is located and Info provides the file size, image size, colors, URL and shows the page where it lives beneath the information. A nice search tool.
