Go Xcavating for Stock Photos

I use stock photography a lot in my presentations -- although image search engines like Google Image Search can bring you hundreds of thousands of photos, they don't always have the best quality. In contrast, stock photography sites offer high-quality images at pretty reasonable prices. I really like iStockphoto, but what I'd really like is a meta-search tool that searches across all sorts of stock photo sites. I wonder if Xcavator.net is the answer to my prayers. From this site you can search more than 6 million images. You can save pictures to your own "lightbox" at the bottom of the page, or click on "Hi-Res" to purchase the photos at the site where they reside. What's even better about this tool is its ability to match images -- once you find an image you like, click Match and Xcavator will refine its search accordingly. Xcavator is definitely a site I will be trying out as I get ready for presentations in the future.
