This message is intended to reply to Rachel Robbins' request, but it may be of more general interest to others here. The faces I have made available to a number of people for research are indeed not available for publication, but a good alternative is to use synthetic faces - we have produced some software (ID) here at Cape Town that does a good job of producing highly realistic synthetic faces (not identifiable by blind raters as synthetic faces at levels above chance). It is very similar in many respects to the programs EVOFIT (Frowd and Hancock), and EIGENFIT (Solomon and Gibson et al.)
I'll send you a couple of these if you are interested, Rachel.

Hi everyone,
I ran a study using some great faces from Colin Tredoux, but the faces
do not have permission for publication so I need just a few black
African faces that I can use to make example stimuli for the paper
(preferably black South African, but African-American or other parts
of African would do). If any one has some, or knows a database that
has some please let me know!
(The Cohn-Kanade database has some but they are not the ones available
for publication).
Thanks!
Rachel

Hi all,
I'm a PhD student working with Vicki Bruce and Debbie Riby at Newcastle Uni, looking at the profiles of those with Williams Syndrome and ASDs in interpreting emotions from faces. Nicola, there is an excellent faces database, that I think sounds like what you need (although might not quite have enough photos but could be a start!) here: http://www.socsci.ru.nl:8180/RaFD2/RaFD?p=overview. You have to request access to it but they're generally happy to grant it as long as you're using the database for academic research.
Hope that helps!
Rachel

Hi Nicola,
you can try this:

This page has a very good overview of face recognition databases:

Hi all,
I think this list is a great idea; thanks for letting me join it!
Just a quick introduction...I worked with Debbie Riby as a research
assistant 2 years ago looking at attention to faces in Williams
Syndrome. I recently completed my MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience at the
University of York where for my dissertation I looked at the
representation of shape and texture of faces in the brain, supervised by
Tim Andrews. I am just starting a PhD at Northumbria University looking
at neurocognitive performance in Type 2 diabetes, looking particularly
at the role of glycaemic control and task difficulty on recognition
memory.
I am in the initial stages of planning for my very first experiment and
am looking for a face image database of at least 100 different faces
(male and female, neutral expressions) which are high resolution,
frontal view colour photographs. I have looked through several databases
but they either do not have enough photos or the quality is not great.
If anyone has access to a set or could point me in the right direction,
I would be most grateful.
Thanks and best wishes to all,
