Default Which royalty free photo discs are best?

Hi there everyone,

I just wanted some advice on which royalty free stock photo cds/dvds are best as there are so many on the market that im not sure which one to choose! I have seen products like Art Explosion 300,000 on sale and also Mammoth 800,000 clip art dvd too but im not sure about which product offers the best quality?

Im essentially looking for royalty free photos which i can enlarge and use for design work in web and print and so the images will have to be a decent resolution and i would like some of the photos to include romance/love/couple themes, sunsets, urban city life with buildings and people/youth etc.

Any ideas will be gratefully received. Perhaps some of you other members have tried some of the discs and can recommend one?

Many thanks
Gordon

I stopped using Discs around the same time istock came about I just found it easier and cheaper to buy on-line also found it's nice to let clients view the images online.

Thanks Toon,

I am just looking for a cheaper cost effective way of using royalty free images without always having to worry about the ongoing costs of purchasing new photos.

Many thanks
Gordon

I use Dreamstime a lot.

It's such a small cost .. under $1 a photo .. that you really don't have to worry about the cost .. and it's high enough quality to be better than stock.xchange.
