Title: IS option: Allow Prints
Post by: berryspun on October 06, 2006, 19:16

Right now I'm going through my portfolio to rectify the new definition keywords.  I noticed that for each picture, above "Allow All Extended License Options For File", there is another checkbox for "Allow Prints".  I have 3 questions about it:

1.  Do you think that ckeckmarking it would make a difference in the download numbers ?

2.  Are there some consequences which I should be aware of if I checkmark it?

3.  If I decide to do it, is there a way to do it in one stroke, or do I have to open every single picture to checkmark it?

Thanks

1. No, in the last three months I've only heard of two people getting a print sale.

2. No.

3. You have to check every single checkbox for each picture.

Since you have to change all your keywords anyway, you should probably just take the time to click the checkboxes. Who knows, you may make a few dollars sometime.

No, that's not the case. You can check of some place for making prints of your whole portfolio.

Where?

Go to the 'my upoalds' page
Just underneath the title there is a line with subtitles:
Details | Images | Prints | Lightboxes | Designs | Extended Licenses
Choose 'prints'
At the right bottom, 'select all'
Don't forget to chechmark the bottom left box to that it becomes "You are currently allowing prints ", otherwise the new setting won't work
And then select the 'all on' underneath

Kind of a tricky setting, it would be much easier to have it set along with the Extended Licenses option.
