Title: Control over images in free section?
Post by: sensovision on February 06, 2008, 20:37

Hi! I've asked this question on DT forums but as always didn't get response :P So maybe I'll get more luck here  ::)
Can anyone tell what control you have over images which are in free sections.
Could they be deleted anytime or not?
Can I change details for them?
is there a way to move image back to non-free section?

I never set a free image in DT, but as far as I know, you can not specify a period for this (unlike 123RF) or withdraw it from the free section (unlike FP).

If I remember it right, approved images have to be in the site for over a year to be allowed into the free section.  I tried that for a New Year 2007 image but it was too early, then I didn't try again later.

Regards,
Adelaide

I put one in there then disabled is a few months later. Not sure how soon you can disable it though. In fact its not even my disabled files now, i guess it was deleted.

thanks for information, folks! I was hoping that I would have more control over images like on iStock where it could be deleted for example and you still get some revenue in certain circumstances.
Guess that I wouldn't bother to upload in free section for now.
