Hi, I'm new here and I've been watching all the wonderful work you people do. I was just wondering where do you get the images to work with? Is there any webpage where we can find images to use in the contest that are not copyright? Thanks

Gery

External images?

Copyright? what the hell is that?

What did i do wrong?
Sorry

Last but not least, the site of a friend, Piet:

He is - starting to be - very famous in Belgium and the Netherlands, TV, film and more:

On a related note, any time I'm surfing the Web and I find a site with hi-res pics that I think would be good externals I bookmark it.

I have a folder just for photo manipulation links. Inside that folder there are three more folders holding bookmarks for chopping tuts, source photos, and free fonts.

I even bookmark the copyrighted stuff. I've emailed the copyright owner and gotten permission to use the images once I've explained what PSC is all about. Most of the time the owner of the image just wants to be notified when the pic is used so they can see how it was used in the chop. Oh and I ALWAYS save the email that gave me permission. It's a CYA thing.
