Recently I used istockphoto.com to seek out unique food-related images for an ebook project. I first searched for related photos and then copied each image by saving the image right from istockphoto.com and placed them into the ebook for my client to approve. Once I received approval, I signed into my istockphoto.com account and went directly to the lightbox which I named after the ebook title so it was easy to locate what I needed and purchased the photos. I was then able to click on the photo from the lightbox to save me time from having to search for the images all over again.

If you have not used iStockphoto.com before, be aware that you do need credits in order to use their images. I have found it to be most beneficial to get a package and have xx credits available to me that I can use over the next year. Once the credits are used, I purchase a new package as needed.
