Topic: EL Images on Shutterstock?  

(Read 1067 times)

I was wondering if it possible to specify which images you want to offer with an EL license and which ones you don't like you can do on some of the other sites like DT, Fotolia, and iStock for example? Seems you can either offer (or not) the option on your whole portfolio and that is all. Bummer...

I'm not really sure why you wouldn't want to offer EL on certain files?  It just costs the buyer more to use your image in a greater capacity, and you make a lot more money.

Thanks. You didn't answer my question, but to answer yours; In some cases I have some images which would be good for a poster or postcards and I don't want someone to be able to make a heap of money from the image and pay just $20 for it.

So don't put it on a Microstock site. That is the point of microstock, high volume and low prices.

Er, I know what microstock is. You are completely missing the point. At least 3 of the other major Microstock sites (DT, IS, FT) allow you to choose which images you want to offer an EL license on. My question was simply is there a way to do it selectively on SS as well.

No, on shutterstock you are either opted all in, or all out.

You may opt-out from shutterstock EL sales.
But, remember that their EL price is $100 and you get $28 for that.
On some other sites they sell your images for few dollars and allow them to be used as EL...

So, when you deciding if you will start contributing somewhere: Frist thing is to look at their end user prices and licences for images use!

Well if you think they've got such potential why don't you take the risk and publish them as postcards/posters yourself?
