Title: Getty - Partner Portal?
Post by: ShadySue on January 15, 2013, 18:32
I guess I'm behind the times on this, but I have a Vetta image, mirrored at Getty, which has two GI sales as follows:
30/11/2012 12:00 AM MST    Partner Portal    $5.60 USD
30/11/2012 12:00 AM MST    Partner Portal    $12.60 USD

So, the partner portal can't the $12 Google deal, so what is it?
I tried Partner Portal on iStock search. Eventually I found this question on the iStock/Getty forum:
"In my Getty Images sale page for one of my images I have a few sales at "Getty Images" and one at "Partner Portal". Does aanyone know what this is? I am not registered for the iStock Partner Program and the image is not available through there, so that is not it. I'm guessing Getty Images makes our Vetta images available beyond the "Getty Images" site for sale, but I'm not sure that is what I agreed to originally."

To which Lobo replied unhelpfully:
"This is a forum for the folks who were iStock-Getty contributors back when that was in full swing. It has absolutely nothing to do with your concerns. Please consider opening a thread in the Exclusive Forum. If you have a question about your Vetta files try the Vetta forum."

So he did, posted the same question on the exclusivity forum and got 0 replies.

Anyone know?

I looked at one of my Getty statements and one of the Partner Portal sales was listed as Corbis. So it's probably any site they redistribute images through and there seem to be a lot of them.
