	Thumbnail Versions
	Comping Versions
	High Resolution Versions

What the buttons do
	Click here to see thumbnails of all the images on your Disc or to return to the thumbnail view at any time (for example, after pulling up a "full-size comping view" of any single image.) You can also use your browser's "back" button.
	If you know the photo# you want to see (for example, if you spotted in image in the printed booklet that accompanies the disc) click here and you'll be able to select an image by number.
	Well, that's where you are now. Click this button and look to the top of the frame for hyperlinks to the various instructional items. All these instructions are contained on one page, so, if you prefer, just scroll down this page to see everything.
	You really should take the time to read these because, by opening your disc, you've agreed to these terms. There's nothing unusual or onerous here, but, whether you're dealing with Comtock or anyone else, you need to be "up to speed" on these important photo-related issues. Please pay special attention to the part about not using photos of recognizable people in any defamatory or humiliating way. Model release info.
	Click here to learn how you can find out about other discs. Bear in mind, however, that we're adding new discs constantly, and to see the very latest, you'll need to go to www.comstock.com.
	This doesn't' take you directly to our website, but, rather, to a page on this disc that will tell you about our website-- and all the great reasons (we think) why you might want to visit. And, once you arrive at this page, we'll give you easy ways to get to the website. (Look for some special offers, too...)

Model Releases

All Comstock images are model released for commercial purposes. However, U.S. and international law does not allow "libelous" or "defamatory" or "humiliating" uses of a person's likeness even if a general model release has been signed. That's true with any photograph-- whether you get it from us or anyone else. If you have any questions abpit the nature of your intended use, Comstock's Customer Service Representatives are ready to guide you-- but defamatory or libelous uses are specifically and emphatically prohibited.
