Where to Get Source Images

There are many ways to create/obtain images for use on your site. Here are some examples: 

 

 

Digital camera  You or a professional photographer can use a digital camera to create original product images. In this way, you will have complete control over the orientation of your product in the picture and the background color and can ensure it is well-suited to your CommerceCM Design.
Request from manufacturer 

 If you are reselling products that are manufactured by another company, you can submit a request to the manufacturer that they send you product images for use on your site. 

Copy from other sites  If you are reselling products that are manufactured by another company, you may be able to copy images from the Manufacturer website, or from another reseller’s website. 

IstockPhoto (or similar) 

IstockPhoto.com and other similar sites sell stock royalty-free images for very low prices. Images are categorized and indexed allowing users to quickly find the types of images they are looking for. 
Use of a Graphics program  You (or a graphic designer) may use a graphics program to create, edit or in someway enhance images for use with CommereCM. For images such as SiteAds this process will be fairly common.
