Perfect for giving the agencies free exposure and traffic that you won't get anything in return for.

If you want to give away free images, why not do it from your own website?

Agree with you 100% here Holgs.
Free images can only kill the industry. As the quality of microstock rises so does the rejection rates of good pics and illustrations. I just saw some really good but basic illustrations on Dreamstime for free!! So the more good pics are added to the free galleries. You can download now for free good images you would have needed to pay for 3 years ago!

I dont like the idea of free images. Some people will find something almost as good as what they need somewhere. Then why pay? I have seen some really good free images. I think if free images should only be offered in a small size if at all.

Also what is happening now is that people are downloading hundreds of these free images and then putting them on CD on ebay for $5-$10 for 1000's of photos.

This can only kill the market. Microstockers are going to end up killing themselves.

Try not too get the skin to look 100% on a full screen view. Because usually on 100% crop it will look blurry if you dont get it just right.
