Downloading samples

- [Instructor] Viewing and downloading a sample file is a fairly easy process. Go to any stock site, execute your search, and select your images. Once on the detail page, you can see a larger preview of your image, zoom in to see greater details, and download a sample. Some sites require you to either right-click or drag your image directly out of the preview window to save your image. If you're using a plug-in from a stock site, you can not only use the watermarked version of that image, but if you then decide to purchase the same image, the plug-ins will swap out the watermarked version for the licensed image. If you do not use the plug-ins, be sure to keep an original copy of your download sample files. The serial number of the asset will be in the name for future reference. Use this number or the name of the file to quickly retrieve the file when you wish to purchase.
