Hi

Maybe I should take more notice of whats going on, but....
If my images are on Istock, and Getty is a partner, is Getty selling images as microstock? or is Getty selling my images as another type of licence?

Via Getty, you can get big value sales or teeny-tiny sales, it all depends; and they are still RF (though some of the tiny uses effectively seem really to be very limited use RM).
Microstock isn't a type of licence.
For more info, you'll need to check out the iS/Getty forum.

To make a long story very short. Getty is an image whore. They will sell your work for anything they can get, ranging from top dollar to pennies. There is no consistency with them. I have sold images for thousands of dollars and I have also sold images for one penny. Very ugly company to say the least. Getty Images has absolutely no respect for photographers at all.

I've just started realizing this. Have had sales where my share was over $100. But now it seems to be paying me pennies and cents

Getty isn't the whore. Getty is the Pimp. Now you all get back out there on the internet and make more art for Big Getty.

I stand corrected. YES Getty is the pimp that whores our images out like we are crack photographers.
