Title: Question about W-EL, P-EL, SR-EL, SR-EL 1, SR-EL 3 (DT)
Post by: Mrblues101 on April 16, 2013, 18:33

I'm uploading images from just two month ago, so there are many things I do not know in the MicroStock world.

When i upload a picter to Dreamstime i have the chance to check 3 boxes:

Web Usage (W-EL)
Print Usage (P-EL)
Sell the rights (SR-EL, SR-EL 1, SR-EL 3)

I never check it because i really dont know what that mean, but now I think that maybe i could help me to make more money.

Can someone explain me?

Thanks in advance ;)

No, thank you for the info :)

You think it is good to select them all for your images?

You'll get different answers from different contributors, but I think you should stay away from the "sell the rights" options and enable the others. Some people who sell prints themselves (via Cafe Press, Zazzle, FAA, et) prefer not to sell the P-EL, but I do offer that option as I haven't seen any clear evidence I'm competing with myself (I think it's perhaps bricks & mortar stores using these licenses, but I can't know for sure)
