Make your screen shots super
Want to make a screen shot of a website, but don't want to pay for programs like SnagIt? Then check out Super Screenshot -- all you have to do is enter the URL, and the site does the rest. You can specify the file type (JPEG or PNG), and the size of the file. Of course, you'll probably have to crop the image before using it in a presentation, but this is a great way to get a quick screen shot of a web page.

Go Xcavating for Stock Photos
I use stock photography a lot in my presentations -- although image search engines like Google Image Search can bring you hundreds of thousands of photos, they don't always have the best quality. In contrast, stock photography sites offer high-quality images at pretty reasonable prices. I really like iStockphoto, but what I'd really like is a meta-search tool that searches across all sorts of stock photo sites.
I wonder if Xcavator.net is the answer to my prayers. From this site you can search more than 6 million images. You can save pictures to your own "lightbox" at the bottom of the page, or click on "Hi-Res" to purchase the photos at the site where they reside. What's even better about this tool is its ability to match images -- once you find an image you like, click Match and Xcavator will refine its search accordingly. Xcavator is definitely a site I will be trying out as I get ready for presentations in the future.
