I can't see the whole
image!
The image is too big for a website!
Most of the images will be bigger than your screen. All of them WILL require
further processing before you use them! in order to maintain quality for printed
use most of the images are left at full photographed size - they are much
too big for direct web use. The reason behind this for you (the designer)
to create individual backgrounds, montages, textures, decorations, borders
etc. from the quality original material provided on this site. If you want
bland off the shelf web clipart..... look on another site, go to the links

PowerPoint/Presentation file
size Issues
Adding full-screen graphics to some presentation packages will create
a large file. This if fine if you are creating and displaying your presentation
on a laptop or computer, but if you want to e-mail or transport your presentation
on a disk you may find the file is to big! The solution is to reduce the size
of the image in a paint program before you use it. Alternatively, if you wish
to create a really small presentation to e-mail to other people, you can use
the thumbnails from our galleries as small illustrative icons.
Where did the images come from?
The were taken specially for this site using various digital cameras and from
scanning (3 pass flatbed) of photographic prints.
Are they really free?
YES, so long as you do not redistribute them to other people - spread
the URL not the files! If you use the images we require a link from your website
or a credit in printed material view full terms and conditions
for more information on this. freeimages.co.uk cannot survive without your
credits!
I Want to join the Mailing
List / Access the Member Galleries..... I filled in my e-mail address and
I wasn't sent the password - help!
First check you entered your e-mail address correctly (it's so easy to
make a typo). Second make sure you are using the 'correct' form.... to join
the mailing list use one of the form with the 'join'

I Can't get into the Members
Area!

be able to access the members galleries on most common browsers.
- Check that you have typed the
password correctly;
- Check that CAPSLOCK is
OFF so you are entering the password entirely in lowercase.

on the screen with the mouse, not the enter or return key on the keyboard.

Where are the Members
Galleries?

used as a key to access a selection of special members' galleries (financial,
festive, etc) once inside these galleries download will be the same as the
non protected galleries. There are no individual user names - just a password
which is sent provided after you join the mailing list.
I get an Error

AOL Users - Password Problems
Some AOL users have reported problems accessing the member's only galleries.
The member's galleries have only been tested using Internet Explorer (4+)
and Netscape (4+) on PC and Macintosh systems. If you use AOL, please install/use
Internet Explorer before accessing the member's galleries (you will still
need to connect to AOL in the normal way using the AOL dialling/browser system,
and then open Internet Explorer to access the galleries).
How do I remove an image from
my desktop (PC)
Right mouse button on an
empty piece of desktop (where there are no icons) Display Properties >
Background tab > Select "background picture" (none).
The Images have watermarks?
they cost 100's of Dollars!
This one is simple... apart from the desktops and presentation templates,
none of our images have watermarks and all are free use. If you see a watermark
or are asked to pay for an image then please confirm that you are looking
at freeimages.co.uk and not another site. Perhaps you have clicked on a banner
or used one of the photos.com search boxes?
How do I pay?
You don't. Freeimages.co.uk is free!
Can I Upload My Images?
