Whois & Analysis for canstockphoto.ca

Can Stock Photo is a stock photography provider which licenses royalty-free images, photos, digital illustrations, picture clip art and footage files on behalf of photographers, illustrators, and videographers.

Founded in 2004, it was one of the earliest microstock agencies.

Stock photography is the supply of photographs, which are often licensed for specific uses.

The stock photo industry, which began to gain hold in the 1920s, has established models including traditional macrostock photography, midstock photography, and microstock photography.

Conventional stock agencies charge from several hundred to several thousand American dollars per image, while microstock photography may sell for around USD 25 cents.

Professional stock photographers traditionally place their images with one or more stock agencies on a contractual basis, while stock agencies may accept the high-quality photos of amateur photographers through online submission.

Clip art, in the graphic arts, is pre-made images used to illustrate any medium.

Today, clip art is used extensively in both personal and commercial projects, ranging from home-printed greeting cards to commercial candles.

Clip art comes in many forms, both electronic and printed.

However, most clip art today is created, distributed, and used in an electronic form.

Since its inception, clip art has evolved to include a wide variety of content, file formats, illustration styles, and licensing restrictions.

Clip art is generally composed exclusively of illustrations (created by hand or by computer software), and does not include stock photography.

Royalty-free, or RF, refers to the right to use copyright material or intellectual property without the need to pay royalties or license fees for each use or per volume sold, or some time period of use or sales.

A web search engine is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web.

The search results are generally presented in a line of results often referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs).

The information may be a mix of web pages, images, and other types of files.

Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories.

Unlike web directories, which are maintained only by human editors, search engines also maintain real-time information by running an algorithm on a web crawler.
