I feel it is time we retired the word 'microstock' from our vocabulary, at least as it pertains to iStock.

Could iStock have finally discovered the mythical and mysterious land that they call ... "Midstock"?

'Tis said that he who greedily tramples upon the hallowed ground of Midstock shall perish most quickly.

Sean made a nice comparison chart on his blog
http://seanlockedigitalimagery.wordpress.com/2011/01/19/istock-pricing-changes/

Thanks for the link, Tyler. And Sean, thanks for doing that comparison. Kelvin's chart only shows what's changed, but not how. Your chart was very helpful. I hadn't remembered what a medium cost before.

Appears the only change for independents (Main collection) is that mediums will cost one credit more. Definitely won't begin to make up for the royalty cuts.

Maybe it's just me, but my head is beginning to hurt from all these changes, failures and sneaky switches at istock. Is it okay to upload yet, or are the files still going into limbo? Is it time to try Lagereek's recommended solution- a tall glass of scotch?

did the credit prices change much ?

If they increase prices I'd prefer increased credits per image as that would increase RC total.
