I do wonder… would there be a way to purchase the image collections for uses outside of elements, like for general webdesign?

Not currently, but if you purchase it inside of Elements, you can drag all the resources out to the desktop…

Why’d you ask?

I‘m helping a friend redesigning a wordpress website and some of the image collections seem to fit very well. The photos she provided are … meh.

pardon my ignorance here! In the old RW there was Unsplash picture gallery, which was “free” images, if you find the unsplash links you can open these up in browser and download them. I dont know whether thats a help or not?

I personally try to avoid those free services [for a reason.](https://photoclaim.com/why-you-shouldnt-use-photos-from-unsplash/)

Seems I cannot. The file says it’s a jpg, but it looks like this:

And when I try to open it in preview I get the following error:

Slight bug, try dragging them to the Resources area in the project, then dragging them out from the Resources area (you can drag them out as a folder to make it quicker).

Hope that made sense!
