I firmly believe the more "arty" images do better with EL's.
I agree.

Wow this is unbelievable!
I actually had a XXL sale today....$7.50.
I almost feel sorry for these buyers. Why don't they buy the EPS file for $5.00???
Maybe they don't have Adobe Illustrator.

I find it very interesting that DT wants edited images that are highly saturated, while IS wants images right out of the camera with no editing.

Why is it that I never get any extended license sales? I've only had one so far on iStockphoto. Is it a numbers thing or just the type of photos I'm shooting?
It seems that most of your images are isolations. I don't think that isolations sell many Extended Licenses. Most Extended Licenses are used for resale on items (e.g., mouse pads, coffee mugs, etc.).

We have had some pressure from the buyers side to make this possible or else they will turn to sites like these below to name a few where photos are all without watermark:
http://www.alamy.com/
http://www.sxc.hu/
http://www.johner.se
Arian: For what possible reason could a buyer want an image without a watermark? How does not having a watermark help them? I can't see a possible reason why a *legitimate* buyer would want an image without a watermark. You can create mockups of just about anything just as easily with a watermarked image as you can with a non-watermarked image.

Take a look over here: http://www.shutterstock.com/subscribe.mhtml
You can subscribe for one day which is new, download 25 images and pay 29 Euros. 29 Euros are currently $ 44.95.
That means the customer has to pay $1.80/ image. I as a photographer if I am over the $500 mark receive $0.30.
That is ~16,7% commission!! Even lower than IS.
When I go to the link, I don't see a daily subscription?!?! I only see subscriptions that start at 1 month.

Of course it's infringement but I don't feel it's dramatic since (a) the size is maximum 500px or so, and (2) no serious designer is going to "license" photos from photobucket or flickr since he wants to play safe.
Nothing personal, but I wholeheartedly disagree. First, most microstock sales are for blog size (400x300) or web size (800x600) images. So every time that someone illegally copies one of your images from a site like this, it is a potential lost sale. Not only that, but one lost sale could lead to many others. Second, if someone illegally copies your image and places it on another site, then there are now two illegal copies of your image. So this leads to a potentially bigger issue down the road. Third, if the illegal image ever makes it into some of the image search engines (such as Google), then you will really have problems. Finally, your image might eventually become a victim of the proposed Orphan Works Act.

Please help me understand, but why this is pertinent?

8 euro is around $12.50 for a subscription not bad better then 0.30
8 euro is only if they downloaded 10 images in a month. If someone is purchasing a subscription, they will probably download much more than 10 images in a month.

Just pray that they don't ask for a refund on one of them.

Just got my payment as well. Looks like today was payday.

Don't we already have a bunch of sites just like this? What will make yours any different? And what is your marketing plan?

I have a payout waiting since 02/16/08. 23 days and counting.
LO seem to take the longest for a payout out of all the agencies.
My last payout took 29 days to process.

...the pictures didn't go into my portfolio.
I hope they go into mine.

All in all, I say yes, go for it, it's free afterall. Nothing to lose! 
Yeah, nothing to lose except your non-watermarked images that almost anyone can hijack. Thanks but no thanks. Like I said, anyone that doesn't respect copyright infringement and theft will never see my images.

What do you mean by 'no watermark' policy?? As in your own custom watermark? Because you can actually choose to have watermarks on your images, but you must select it, and it is one provided from RB
They didn't have WMs. They do now?
I just checked and they still have the same useless watemark that they used to have - it is a very tiny amount of text in the bottom right of the picture. It would be very easy to clone out or even crop out if someone wanted to. I refuse to upload my images to any site that doesn't offer them decent protection (via a good watermark). Without a decent watermark, they might as well stick the word "FREE" above your images.

No problem.
Glad that I could help.

Interestingly enough, I just tried logging in this morning (before this post) and found that my login didn't work (but my images are still there).
Anyone else having this issue?
As an update to this issue... I wrote support about not being able to login and never heard back from them. Funny thing is that I tried to login yesterday and I got in fine. So it seems that it was fixed, but support never contacted me about the matter.
