I’m new to graphic design. I found some good food images at photos.com. After reading its license agreement. I still don’t know if I can use their photo for commercial purpose once downloaded. What I do are things like cropping and modifying the photos to my desired look and size with Photoshop. Then use them in QuarkXpress for commercial flyers and brochures to be printed.

Second, even the high quality food images at photos.com has only a print size of 8" x 5.96" @ 300 dpi. And they are in Jpeg format. Would they look vivid on 8.5" by 14" flyers and brochures (both non-glossy and glossy paper will be used)? My graphic instructor used to emphasize on using tiff files for design works. But tiff photos are hard to find and I guess they’d cost much more.

Just as a thought. I wonder if it would be more appropriate to resolve your questions from the good people at photos.com. Since they are after all, the people you are planning to deal with, and possibly understand their own terms and conditions better than those in this or any newsgroup, many or most of whom have likely never even heard of photos.com.

Thanks. I didn’t thought of that. Called and approved.
