As the subject matter states, do you plan on opting-in (in which case you don't need to do anything) or opting-out of the VOX initiative on iStock?

i have voted opt in for now... i am not sure i agree with the vox thing yet, but opting OUT of all marketing could hurt sales... maybe not though.. maybe I should opt out.. :S

Opting out until I can remove my model released images and then probably opt-in

At first, I would opt-out. Having bloggers use our images is not marketing, it's unlicensed use. Marketing would be a random image unrelated to the blogger or blog post appearing somewhere with a link to iStock.

I see however that they at least reduced the image, made the watermark more visible and added a credit to the photographer. This is good. I haven't found out if photos do not show as "my photos" anymore.

Regards,

I would opt OUT if I knew how - please help I always get lost in iStock!

Come to think of it this signature is looking quite bulky how do get a bit of text staying one thing with a link to the relevant part of my site, HTML doesn't seem to work. - Thanks CJ
