As a designer having access to such a wonderful resource is a joy. I think that many people opt for being notified because they want to see their work spread around the globe. However, I do agree that receiving an email for every use could get very tiring.

Thanks,

I use SXC all the time, too – it’s the greatest thing! But I won’t use images where it’s required to give a credit. How am I supposed to do that, when I’m integrating a part of the image into a multi-layered design that’ll be used in the design of a website?

I guess I could put some statement, somewhere on the site to the effect of, “the subtle texture that was applied to the edge image of the piece of wood that forms a small piece of the header at the top of each page on this site comes from a fragment of a photo of an old door, which was taken by Joe Doe.” But why would I do that?
