Title: DT's RF check box
Post by: madelaide on March 06, 2010, 14:18

Have you noticed that DT has a check box for "RF"?  Why, if all they sell is RF?

I tried a search for "white" with or without RF.  Got 126,186 with RF selected, 126,541 with RF unselected.  With "blue", I got 62,511 and 62,863, respectively.

Is the difference the free images? I never thought they would appear in the searches.

They do all sell as RF, but DT sees their content "RF" versus "Editorial" - so the difference are not the free pictures, but the editorial photos most probably...

I've always thought they were positioning themselves for future growth - it changed when the site layout changed.

Yes, you're right.  But their editorial license is RF nevertheless, right?

Yes, everything is RF at DT, even the editorial stuff.
