Getty Images Enables Embedding Function
One of my sources of celebrity images is Wikimedia.org. If you've tried using the site, you know that there isn't many celebrity images tha you can use. I mean most of what's available are either old or not a quality shot. So if I don't find what I need at Wikimedia, I opt for embeddable videos instead.
Now, thanks to Getty Images' move to include an embedding function on some of their images, we have more than enough celebrity images to use for FREE.
How does this work?
It's simple really. Go to Getty Images, perform a quick search, and you'll see a list of available images.
If you see one that you like, click on the embed function, copy the code, and paste it on your text editor. The result is a neat image with a Getty Images attribution below it. See screenshot below to know where to find the embed function.
NOTES:
1. Just like Youtube, the embedding function is not available in all images.
2. When you embed an image, the watermark disappears.
Here's a sample.
At Getty Images, this function is called the "Embedded Viewer." Just to be sure that we're not breaking any law or using this function responsibly, I headed over to the site's "Terms of Use."
