Where can I get pictures to edit

[Kens Digital Media]

I know there's places to get free to use pictures online but these pictures are of good quality.

I'm looking for pictures I can "touch-up" and use the pictures on my website free of charge. Before and after shots is what I'm looking at. I need pictures of people with red eye, dull teeth, wrinkles etc.

I want to get not so good pictures of people and edit them for examples to put on my website for a service I'm going to offer.

Anyone know of a website(s) where I can find pictures like this?

Thanks

Or... you can take perfectly good portraits and doctor them to look bad, lol.

This is a site I've used alot in the past:

stock.xchng - the leading free stock photography site

Hi Keith

That's an awesome list of "quality stock photos". Not quite what I'm looking for. How do I put this, I'm looking for undesirable pictures of people. I need pictures to show before and after pictures so I can show how I can transform one dull picture into a masterpiece

I haven't found a website with pics like this yet, maybe a niche market?

Yeah Dave, people want to put good pictures online, why can't they put average or less than average pics online lol.

I've seen some just really bad pics online and I won't touch them. If you can handle it do this, I warn ya don't do it but if you must then ok...

Go to google, type in girlfriend, then click on images. I warned ya lol.

Sorry I couldn't help it.. lol

You may find what you need in one of those thirty or so sets of free photo resources linked to above.

A lot of searching.

Two alternatives:

- Take a bad picture yourself (and a good one to illustrate differences in shooting)

- Try google image search to find it, then ask permission to improve it

Just thought of another, ask someone here to provide a photo they'd like to see improved.

Good luck.

Keith

How did you fare with this?

[Kens Digital Media]

Well.. it's on the back burner for now. Wow I can't believe it's been 8 months. Do I procrastinate or what

[dgridley]

No more than I do I bet.. of course, I have a medical excuse
