Image bank

Type a keyword, an image number (preceded with $) or a photographer’s name (preceded with $$) in the search field. Words used to make a request should be used in the following way:

• a) nouns in the singular or plural form,
• b) verbs in the infinitive,
• c) adjectives and ordinal numbers in singular and plural forms,
• d) proper names and geographical names – you can try English names or the original ones.

In case of homonyms, after typing a keyword that has more than one meaning, stock images matching all the meanings will be displayed. You can eliminate unwanted results by adding other words. Keywords can be used with the logical operator: AND. In case of typing two or more words without the logical operator, the word AND is automatically inserted. For example, result of the search "woman beach" (or woman AND beach) will be stock images depicting women on beaches. Some of keywords consist of two or more words. If you type in at least two words in the search field, the browser will first check if there is a keyword consisting of those words. If there is, (for example a "king penguin" ), than the images that match this phrase will be displayed. If the phrase doesn’t exist ( for example a "blue penguin"), then the browser will automatically link these two words with the operator AND, and the search results will be the results that apply to the request "penguin AND blue"

A correct request will result in a dynamic presentation of content (stock photos, illustrations, vector illustrations, footage, audio tracks). Depending on the number of results, the content is placed on one or several pages. You can navigate search results using arrows located above and below search results. The number of the currently viewed page as well as the total number of generated pages are also displayed (for example 5 of 14). Driving mouse over an image in search results displays following icons:

• cart – adding a product to cart,
• arrows - the blue one for downloading within packs and the green one for downloading for credits,
• pictures – searching for similar results.

Click on the "pictures" icon (first from the right) visible after driving your mouse over the image. A pop-up window will appear and keywords relating to this image will be shown. You can choose several keywords relating to one image and click "Execute" to start a new search. You can also display other content items of the same author or items created during the same photo session.
