Is it too late to Opt out of the Dreamstime Google deal?

Thanks!

I don't know if they would allow it but it stands to reason that if they have already sold licenses on your work they are not going to cancel them.

Short answer.  Yes.

So are they done on the sell to Google or is it going to be on going?

Yes. But I opt out anyway. Dreamstime sold 3 my images to Google. In the future, they will have to try harder.

How can you tell if they went to Google, is Google only showing up at the 2.00 mark?

A few months ago, I think, Dreamstime send an email with few selected images from my portfolio. They say that will be used for "Alliances and Partnerships program". At that time, I agreed. But today, I am very disappointed.
