I thought we weren't allowed to use images that we didn't take for parts
but I just read this line in the email from bricklink
"Quickly download official LEGO images for elements"
So does that mean I didn't need to take low-quality photos of parts with
official images.
I thought I read somewhere one time I couldn't do that I don't know where
or when I saw that but I never questioned it but if I was actually allowed to
then my life has been a lie even though I haven't submitted many inventories
that would have saved so much time... sometimes the most obvious things just
slip right on by

You can use either your own photos or official Lego images for catalog submissions.
I am not a very good photographer so I prefer to use Lego's renders when
they are available.

The renders that Lego makes are usable and encouraged for unprinted parts. Photographs
are preferred for printed parts.
