I'm used to the concept of purchasing stock images for use in photomanipulation, and how licences work for using on a book cover but not selling on t-shirts, but what about when using stock for illustrated references?
Say I wanted to reference a picture for a specific pose or to use in a larger illustration. What size of an image would I need to buy to make the reference (since photomanips use size for resolution, but a pose reference might not need to be as big), and would it have the same requirements for selling prints of the final result?
Are there better places for finding photo references than traditional stock sites?
It's a thought that struck me earlier, and I wondered how others worked with this concept.
