Can stock photography feed the machine?

Article Abstract:

Multimedia manufacturers such as CD-ROM publishers have turned to clip art rather than stock photography because of the abundance of cheap images available for scanning and altering. Publishers believe that their business has less respect and interest in any specific image than in images that can be changed, morphed, or altered to fill up time in an interactive book or game. Stock houses still charge an exorbitant amount for their images, but if the volume increases in multimedia publishing, stock companies will begin to change the price structure.

It contains substantial information such as letters, photos, and video clips. "Passages to Vietnam," which is organized into six sections ranging from social issues in America to the legacy of the war, presents more than 400 photographs.
