How Do I Use the Web Site?
|
 |
The Kyodo News Photo web site will allow you to browse images from our current news file or search our extensive database by entering a keyword or date search parameter. Selections can be transferred to your lightbox for review and then downloaded to your site. In looking for common subjects it is important to consider limiting the time span of your search since searching by keyword alone can retrieve hundreds of images going back six years or more. And please take note that placing images in your lightbox does not charge them to your account. Once you have clicked "Order" or "Download," however, the photos you chose will be billed to your account.
