Graphic designers on a tight budget may appreciate the fifty new stock photo CDs released by Turbo Photo (http://www.turbophoto.com) for only $49 or less each. The royalty-free CD-ROMs cover various subjects such as Animals, People, Nature, Food, Travel, and Backgrounds, and include a free 300dpi hi-res download for each CD title. With fifty CD titles, this means that fifty stock photos may be immediately downloaded for free.

Corel is the most comparable in "affordable-level" stock photo CD-ROMs, however, a majority of their CDs are still priced at $99 or higher by resellers (Source: http://www.fotosearch.com/corel/). While other stock photo agencies like, ShutterStock or Photos.com provide affordable photo subscription services, Turbo Photo finds that many users still seek the convenience of having a tangible stock photo CD-ROM.

Image resolution on the CDs range from approximately 2560x1920 (14MB) to 3264x2448 (23MB). If output at 300dpi on a printing press, print sizes of each photo ranges from 8.5" x 6.4" to 10.8" x 8.1". The stock photos are ideal for small to medium-size print jobs, like collateral, direct mail, print ads, packaging, web, or multimedia. The license agreement also allows entrepreneurs to use the photos as printed merchandise that may be sold, including for gift items like mugs, mouse pads and calendars, or even framed art.
