I’m so happy you talked about Morguefile! I have been loving morguefile.com for a couple years. Although library is still missing a few common subjects, it is quickly growing into a real competition for the costly sites.

Great opportunities. Especially this cropping. I know that http://www.photl.com has partial downloading as well. Its so easy to handle, just choose the necessary part and download.

Hey Sherman dude, this is an awesome pick…

I too was getting fed up paying a fortune to istockphoto, but I never heard of morgue file, and the crop and embed functionality is way cool!

By the way, what happened to the half-hour-huddle, it was inspiring. Is it still going on?

Cheers
James

Hi Sherman

Thank you for this insightful tutorial. I have an account at istockphoto.com, I go there to get all the images I need for my sites. I’ve never heard of morguefile before but I will definitely got there first now, it will save me a ton of money.

Kerch, thanks for your feedback. Great point. Typically, I download from image sites, then upload to my own blog. In MorgueFile’s case, I download after cropping

I have used and loved morguefile for a couple of years. A recent redesign musta moved a lot of stuff , ’cause I lost MANY images in several blogs I manage. In addition, seems like the library is significatly smaller.
The crop and size functions work great on the site. AND I recommend at the very least, after you crop the photo, open the image URL.then save that image to upload. The download and uploads are smaller and faster

Very good point, John. Downloading the images (for ‘keepsake’) is definitely a wise alternative if one is concerned about the services’ longevity

I Love it! Never heard of Morguefile before. Great find. The only Caveat to using their crop and embed link is that if they one day go Buy Buy… so do your images…. otherwise… WAY COOL DUDE!
