More Free iStockphoto Content

Aside from the “Free ___ of the ___” content that I discussed yesterday, there are also some partner promotions out there that can be a source for free content.  These may, or may not have a regular license like content downloaded from iStockphoto in the usual manner.  I’ll try to cover that in each case.

Free Content

Microsoft Office

If you’re a Microsoft product user, you may have access to hundreds of free images.  Does the following apply to you?

You must have a valid license to a Microsoft Office suite or any of its programs or a software product that includes Microsoft Clip Gallery or Microsoft Clip Organizer to download this content.

If so, head on over to the Microsoft Clip Art Collection.  The images here are easy to go through, easy to select, and easy to download to your Clip Organizer.

License: The images in the Microsoft Clip Art collection are for your personal use, only!  Microsoft bought special extended licenses from the contributors to this collection.  If you need a regular license to use for business purposes or a higher resolution version, each image has a link to the iStockphoto regular image download page.  For more details on the Clip Art license, see: http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/permissions/default.mspx#E4

HP Promotion

Logging in, and going to the following site link allows you to download 30 out of 52 free images: http://www.istockphoto.com/imageoffer.php?lpid=hpfree

These images come with the standard iStockphoto license.

Caldera Imaging

Like HP, if you are logged in and go to the following link, you can download 10 out of the 15 images provided: http://www.istockphoto.com/calderaoffer

Again, normal iStockphoto license.

Free Credits

Here is a link to sign up with a the code “5EDUFREE” for 5 free credits, and 20 free image downloads from a pre-selected group: http://www.istockphoto.com/educationaloffer

If anyone wants 10 free credits when signing up a new buyers account, just get in email contact with me, or leave a comment with your contact here, and I will send you a code.

Discounts

The following codes all say they work on your first purchase, but it couldn’t hurt to try to use them on subsequent purchases as well.

The code “TWIP” will give you 20% off of your first purchase price of $60 or more.

Use the code “5COOPT” during your credit purchase, and get 20% off your first purchase.  Plus, when logged in, you’ll be able to download 30 out of 60 pre-selected images, here: http://www.istockphoto.com/scoopt

Use “TWITSTOCK” when purchasing, to get 20% off of your first $60 or more Pay-as-you-go credit purchase, or get 20% off your first 30 credits/day Subscription with “TWITSUB”.  More info here: http://istockphoto.com/twitstock

Courtesy of HP Training, get a first purchase 20% discount on Pay-as-you-go credit packages over $60, plus 20 out of 50 free images here: http://www.istockphoto.com/hptraining.php?code=hpcd_en

From StockLayouts.com, get a first purchase discount of 20% on a $25 minimum PAYG order, when you enter “5TOCK1AYOUT5″ and 20 out of 50 free images here: http://www.istockphoto.com/stocklayout.php

Conclusion

Those “X out of Y” content download areas seem to have differing images, so pick your favorite and download away.  I hope some of this will be able to save you some money and make you a longtime customer.
