The following list is divided into several subsections, paid and free stocks, and attribution required or not required.***

thanks you,
For me, I don't have a credit card to download to shutterstock what I like the most! I'm disappointed ... I only get free images.

Hi, no problem. There's a section with free stock sites that you can use. Also, you can check this updated article for new websites: Stock sites, tutorials and photomanip groups

Sorry for the late reply.
I can add it but this article is quite outdated. Here's the new one written by Gejda .

No problem, dear. Thank you very much, I'll comment
on the updated one

Thank you for taking the time to compile this list, it must not have been easy!
But a lot of the 'free' websites are actually kind of useless to me.. They do not have what I'm looking for and then refer me to premium websites.. I can't afford to pay for that.
This is not your fault of course, but I'm just putting it out there! Others did have good stock photos for me, so it's just a matter of finding the right one. It is frustrating though.
Also, freestock.ca keeps getting blocked by Malwarebytes, and www.everystockphoto.com keeps crashing on me for some unknown reason.

hey, thanks for the comment! The list is probably quite outdated since I don't regularly follow trends for new stock websites and didn't update this post in a while. I recommend following CRPhotomanipulation in case this article ever gets an update (I won't be the one posting it).

That group is actually how I found this!

cool! Regarding photomanipulation news and resources it's probably the number 1 place to be. I can also recommend Art-Revival and Stewed-Tomatoes . The latter hosts a lot of beginner-friendly contests.

I'm glad it's useful and thanks to Lolita-Artz for referring
I think any of these stock sites should be fine for general use on dA. I cannot make guarantees for all groups since they might have specific rules, but I think you'll be on the safe side.
