To purchase images from Fotosearch one first creates an account, this is a simple matter of signing up at no cost. You can browse the images whether you have an account or not, but the account allows you to keep images you are interested in in a "lightbox", this allows you to search through many images and click on the ones you like which will then be available saved in a group later. You can make as many lightboxes as you want and name them according to the subject.
Images can then be purchased in a variety of resolutions and prices vary a lot but a Medium Resolution 15 MB / 300 dpi / 15.8 x 23.8 cm / RGB image can be $250 to $600 on its own, some images can cost thousands.
There are also bundles of images available on a disk, these are usually much cheaper but you do not get to pick the specific images you want. But if you want a lot of similar images it can be a much more affordable way to buy. Some are as cheap as $200, others are much more expensive.
Images that are bought are supplied on a disk, burning of a disk costs $39 for 1 to 4 images and $69 for 5 or more images; this is on top of the cost of the image.
Payment can be made through paypal or most major credit cards.
