Newbie Discussion / Re: Composings

I thought you're referring angel, posing and position when talking about composing.
Anyway, Vizerskaya's images are stunning!

Is that because the newbie's images tend to be listed at the end of search result?

As I know, EL is required anyhow when ur image is used in distribution.
What does this mean? Re-selling the actual image?
I doubt if any agencies allow this, but check the t&c of the agencies you sell through.

I meant distribution in other format such as templates, cards, merchandise, etc. Ya, I know simply re-selling the original images are not allowed generally.

With RF, there is normally a 'print run' above which an EL must be purchased, and it doesn't matter how prominent the image is.
For example, at iStock, if your image is used in a calendar or book, it doesn't matter whether it's the cover image or used tiny on the inside so most people would overlook it, it's the print run that counts, so they'd have to buy an EL only if the print run goes over 500,000.

I think you're a bit mixed up between RM usages and RF.
In RM, the buyer would pay more for a front cover use compared to a spot size inside.

I forgot about the maximum print copy. Anyway, I actually wanted to refer to Resale license, sorry for confusion. I actually meant if an image is not used prominently in print, Resale license (such as "Items for resale" license in iStock) is not required.

Thank you for sharing! Really a big knowledge.

However, I'm thinking if the company distributes their corporate calendar or wallpaper to their clients, and the stock image plays a minor role, maybe it is fine to use standard license? Anyone know?

Btw, if someone steals the image or uses the image without purchasing a corresponding license, can we sue directly the person instead of sending a DMCA takedown notice? If doing so, how much is the compensate we can get for a royalty-free image? Just curious, don't mean to be ruthless.

Wow, SS, cool! It's much more excited if the sale is high also.

Newbie Discussion / Re: What are Exclusive RF Licenses ?

Yes, I think it means the image can only be available for selling in a microstock site but not others, regardless whether the contributor is an Exclusive Contributor or not.
