So your membership application has been thoroughly checked by our staff to make sure you have met all the requirements, don’t worry we are not the M.O.D. but we do take this very seriously. You have now received your validation e-mail, accepted your membership and you are ready for the good stuff, finding and purchasing your images. First things first, how do I find the perfect image? Here at Fotolia we have developed a quick and easy search function to make this process as painless as possible. It is comprised of four specially designed areas:
Search, Detail Search, Category Search, and Gallery Search.

Hi Folks,
I have been taking lots of calls from people who are just discovering Fotolia and are eager to join the family. Seeing as I am new here also I have had the opportunity over the last few weeks to make my way through the process. So here it is Fotolia for Dummies, (or for those of you on the sensitive side Fotolia for beginners.

Photographers and designers have the choice to offer their images free to members of Fotolia if Fotolia does not accept them. If a member offers their image to the free section, the photograph will be accessible via the search engine in the free photo section. The image will be sold at the price indicated by the photographer if Fotolia accepts the image.
