Of course,
PhotoDirector users will not
generally be using images created by others. PhD is about cataloguing & modifying your own photos to make them look their best or to create special effects.
There may be times, in some presentations, when others' images are needed. That's when
copyright & licensing needs to be considered.

"Free" Image Sites
The few sites listed are a combination of free and royalty free photos & images.
Free = no cost. Some images are in the public domain and some are under the creative commons license.
Royalty free images may cost money, but you don’t need to pay a royalty each time the image is used.
Most sites offer only lower resolution photos, though 4MP+ images aren't uncommon. Typical resolutions of images are listed beside each site.
