Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Good for basic objects
Review: Don't buy this product if you are looking for professional photographic results. Many of the objects are repeated and the photographs are not usable. I use it to produce pictures for preschoolers. They don't mine out of focus pictures. I do regret buying this product.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Poor Quality Graphics
Review: Not worth the money...Poor quality graphics, some looked chopped on the edges....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent quality and variety
Review: Some other people have complain about the quality, if you're a print graphic artist then its problem. As a web designer who need 2" by 2" graphics, this set is great. You do get a variety of photos of objects. For example, there's like 20 different examples of a live garnade, something like several hundred coins from different countries. For $17 this is definitely worth the money.

I've found it is best to export the image to a graphic editor. Then from there, make it transparent, resize it, and compress it to your wishes. There's a fair amount of "People" graphic, but not as much as I'd like. I don't have the 100K collection so don't know if there's any image overlapse between this and that collection.

Quality is pretty nice for small prints and great for web. Especially superb for smaller projects like christmas cards and so forth, but not good if you want to print high resolution photographs on large paper.

For $17 this is the best collection I've ever bought, Photo Objects II is still in shipping, so can't compare quality with that collection yet.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better than a lot of comparably priced packages!
Review: Sure, we aren't talking stock photography from Getty Images or Corbis here, but for the price you are paying you shouldn't be under that sort of illusion.

What you do get is a package of more photos than you will ever use in your lifetime of more things than you ever imagined you would want to use in an ad or flyer.

With the work I do as a graphic designer for a corporation I constantly need to have images to put in print media. While I grant that the images provided are not large, they are provided in a high resolution format, and are perfect for creating composite pieces, powerpoint graphics, online graphics and smaller print media. Sure, I'm not going to use them in a major ad campaign - but by using these for the smaller works I free up my budget so that I have the money to use the big stock photography suppliers when I NEED fantastic crisp images.

Worth buying as a suppliment - definitely. Should you rely on this as your only source of photographs - of course not.
