Title: Inmagine Comments?
Post by: Sean Locke Photography on June 03, 2013, 21:41: Inmagine has asked me to contribute there. Anyone have any recent comments about them? I think I see that you set your own price, you get %50 and can opt-out of distribution plans. Which sounds good. Any surprises?

Post by: Jo Ann Snover on June 03, 2013, 21:54: I assume you know that Inmagine is the parent company of 123rf and that they instituted an IS-like RC scheme this past January. They sell a lot of subs and are a rock bottom price outlet. I would make sure you know whether or not other Inmagine properties are counted as distribution (assuming you don't want your work offered on 123rf for subscriptions).

Post by: Sean Locke Photography on June 03, 2013, 21:56: I did know that, but assumed "distribution" would include them. I'll make sure...

Post by: THP Creative on June 03, 2013, 22:18: I just checked and our 123RF images are there without any image attribution at all

http://www.inmagine.com/timhester1008/pro7611750-photo (http://www.inmagine.com/timhester1008/pro7611750-photo)

other than in the URL. They go for a flat $16 it seems - wonder what we get on 123RF for that?

(sorry Sean, doesn't help with your question i know)

sure otherwise they could just mirror their 123rf-content.

Post by: Maui on June 04, 2013, 11:27: They also take images from Alamy. Unfortunately without attribution to the original artist.

Post by: Sean Locke Photography on June 05, 2013, 21:44: On a related note, 123RF wants to add me to the EVO collection. Anything funny there? They say no subs. I will go see what I can find.

123rf content (both commercial and editorial) is mirrored at Inmagine under the ValueImages tab. Regards, David.

And did you find anything interesting, Sean? ;)
