can you make fine art prints from an enhanced license on dreamstime or shutterstock?
here is the shutterstock license regarding this:

it sounds like you would need to add words or change the image a little to sell it as an art print?
Dreamstime I have no idea about?
anyone know?

Looks like they have it both ways?
::)

^^ How both ways?
Buyers can make a print for themselves, e.g. to put on their own wall, but can't sell prints from files.

Section F looks like it says you can make prints (including artwork and posters) incorporated into merchandise for sale. I guess you could read that it can't just be the full image but I don't see how you couldn't add a fancy quotation overlay and say you conform.
On Jo Ann's link it pretty clearly says you can't make POD but that doesn't exclude printing up a batch of posters and selling them (at a farmer's market or something).

Nope.
provided that such merchandise: a) combines the Image with words and/or other graphics or images; or b) the Image is not the primary factor driving the sale of such merchandise.

Yup. Like I said (if you had actually read what I said), if you put a quote on it (combine the image with words) you have the right to use it on items for resale.

It must cover over 30% of the image therefore making it useless as a print or fine art.
