A bit of crystal ball gazing here - I wonder if the istock premium collection is about to become Gettys new dollar bin.

I wondered the same thing on another board and got some very offended responses

Remains to be seen, but it happened on Fotolia, so it is certainly possible.  

Thanks Sharply,

 I always get those two  mixed up. Thanks again for the correction. In regaurds to my post then, I was answering a question asked me by Zeus, In my studies the last person I want to upset is ZEUS I don't need any lightening bolts thrown in my direction.

Nope!  Getty used to have quite a few name photographers but they mainly came from the old Image-Bank.
Theyre long gone.
Todays Getty photographer is all into lifestyles etc, setting up shoots, using expensive models. Many work on "commissions" via Getty. In short it can "cost" a lot to generate a lot. A pal of mine will spend 10K in order to earn 20K etc.
This is NOT anything for your average micro photographer.
I cant help feeling a bit sorry for a few IS photographers that kind of been lured into this pretentious sweet talk, but, but, there you go.

merry X-mas to all.

Diatribe snipped...

Ho, ho, ho, you're quite the character Jonathan.  Have a nice holiday.

I'd also be very interested to know - and I'm happy to receive the information privately if that's what you'd prefer.

IMO.The best way to deal with any rejection on istock is to read the rejection notice carefully and check your email notification as well as your site profile page as it's only your email addy for your istock account which will have any thumbnail image the inspector has sent highlighling any problems in your file.
If that fails do what i do after a few rejections..visit a local farm and enjoy the animals
