You know, there's something incredibly cool I realized in doing photoshop projects using stock images. In the end, it's sorta like a collab, really. I mean, I may edit them, and stick them together into an original piece, but if not for the wonderful stock providers I would not be able to make them without going out and getting all the textures and taking the pictures of people and animals myself. So if you're a photo manipulator, please make sure to give credit where credit is due, and link back to your sources and follow each of their individual rules, and if they'd like, be sure to send them a note or comment so they can check out what you've done with their stock.
Thanks, to all the stock providers I've used, or will use in the future.
