COMP images launched at xcavator.net

Based on a large number of user requests, we have added larger comp images to the site. To check it out, just place your mouse over any image, and you will see the option to click on the COMP button to bring up a large, watermarked comp image. This larger format really helps in buying decisions, and these watermarked images can also be dragged and dropped to your desktop or to graphical applications like Powerpoint and Photoshop when creating mock ups. Check it out !

To buy a photo, click on the COMP button then the AGENCY button that appears with the comp image.

Tip: Using the Lightbox

The Lightbox at xcavator.net allows you to store images you are interested in. Those images will still be there when you come back to the site later, as long as you are using the same web browser. Additionally, the Email It function allows you to send the agency links to anyone you wish for collaboration on selecting images. You can also use Email It to send these links to your own email address!
