Stock Photography

With the idea of expanding our offer and following the latest trends in the global IT industry, as well as making our online store ever more useful to you, our clients, and always offering you more than others, Yu4You.com started a new service. Following the largest online international Stock Photography stores, we are starting our Image Bank - a service that will enable you to download high resolution artistic photographs, which you can use in a wide variety of applications.

The photos we have in our offer at this moment are Royalty Free, which means that you can use them unlimited number of times in various purposes, with a lot less limitations than licensed photos. In case you are looking for photos that will doll up your new web site, any kind of advertisement, packaging, CD or DVD cover, video or multimedia presentation, commercial, postcard, greeting card, poster, business card, article illustration, etc, Yu4You.com Image Bank is made for you!

We treat every photograph in our Image Bank as any other item at our online store - if you loved the ease of shopping at Yu4You.com, you will be able to shop for photos easily and safely as well. If you need more information about the other possible uses of the photos, as well as the explanation of the terms we use when describing the photos, please take a look at our Glossary.

A royalty is a sum paid to the creator of performance art for the use of that art. It is also a sum of money paid for the use of a license, or for use of works covered by copyright, patent, registered design or trademark.

In short, you can do the following with your Royalty Free images:

Permitted uses:

• Use the image in virtually any kind of promotional item : websites, advertising, packaging, personal projects, CD or DVD packaging, film and video presentations, multimedia presentations, commercials, books, greeting cards, posters, postcards, business cards, articles, etc. etc...
• Make one copy for backups.
• Ask us if you have any questions about usage.
• Read the License Agreement. This is just an overview! `

Forbidden uses:

• Use images in templates for resale [e.g. flash templates, website templates, brochure templates, powerpoint templates]
• Display images larger than 640 * 480 on the web.
• Resell the images on "Print on Demand" products, such as Cafe Press products, posters, cards, etc.

Dots per inch (DPI) is a measure of printing resolution, in particular the number of individual dots of ink a printer or toner can produce within a linear one-inch space.

Generally, printers with higher DPI produce clearer and more detailed output. The DPI measurement of a printer is dependent upon several factors, including the method by which ink is applied, the quality of the printer components, and the quality of the ink and paper used. A dot matrix printer, for example, applies ink via tiny rods striking an ink ribbon, and has a relatively low resolution, typically in the range of 60 to 90 DPI. An inkjet printer sprays ink through tiny nozzles, and is typically capable of 300 DPI. A laser printer applies toner through a controlled electrostatic charge, and may be in the range of 600 to 1200 DPI.

The DPI measurement of a printer often needs to be considerably higher than the pixels per inch (PPI) measurement of a video display in order to produce similar-quality output. This is due to the limited range of colors typically available on a printer: most color printers use only four colors of ink, while a video monitor can often produce several million colors. Each dot on a printer can be one of only four colors, while each pixel on a video monitor can be one of several million colors; printers must produce additional colors through a halftone or dithering process.

The printing process could require a region from four to six dots on each side in order to faithfully reproduce the color contained in a single pixel. An image that is 100 pixels wide may need to be 400 to 600 dots in width in the printed output; if a 100×100-pixel image is to be printed inside a one-inch square, the printer must be capable of 400 to 600 dots per inch in order to accurately reproduce the image.

A pixel (a portmanteau of picture element) is one of the many tiny dots that make up the representation of a picture in a computer's memory. Usually the dots are so small and so numerous that, when printed on paper or displayed on a computer monitor, they appear to merge into a smooth image. The colour and intensity of each dot is variable.

Pixels per inch (PPI) or pixel density is a measurement of the resolution of a computer display, related to the size of the display in inches and the total number of pixels in the horizontal and vertical directions. This measurement is often referred to as dots per inch, though that measurement more accurately refers to the resolution of a computer printer. PPI may also be used to describe the resolution of an image scanner or digital camera; in this context, it is synonymous with samples per inch.

Typical circa-2000 cathode ray tube computer displays are generally capable of 72 to 130 pixels per inch. For example, a display that is 11 inches wide by 8.5 inches high, capable of a maximum 1024 by 768 pixel resolution, can display about 93 PPI in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This figure is determined by dividing width (or height) of the display area in pixels, by width (or height) of the display area in inches.

The display resolution of a digital television or computer display is the number of pixels (or maximal image resolution) that can be displayed on the screen, usually given as a product of the number of columns (horizontal, "X"), which is always stated first and the number or rows (vertical, "Y") to make up the aspect ratio.
