..just guessing but i think he means istock had a lot of complaints and now in the past few days
313,956 photos have been added to the E+ collection on Getty - you can check by going to advanced search and choosing the collection (E+) and typing in "image" and you see how many there are.
I think the E+ contributors will start seeing sales next month? I'm not sure exactly how many of those were just added... .....most. I would think the move was planned a long time ago;)
Happy Holidays

thanks;)
yes already gone in one day!

Will deactivating a photo on Istock remove the photo from Thinkstock?

I'm surprised more people are not ranting as independents are now buried - it seems like a pretty big deal for independents who use to have some popular photos at istock.  That is quite a shuffle - I would have guessed it would have been wise to keep a few independent files up front if they are relevant and popular for buyers and for independents to keep them engaged. Dang

Ha   Well peter is pretty good;).  And actually mostly does his own kind of printing which looks really good.
Its a trade secret but i know most are no thicker than paper.  Some variation of lightjet is my guess.
He has good photoshop, displays, galleries, lighting, floors, furniture, fireplaces;).  Everything is well done and well thought out.   Very well thought out!

I have done a few and i love the luminiosity.   I would not say they are better.  Just more saturated, liminious, rich, they are more expensive.   Depends on what your going for. But tey are beautiful

thanks for the helpful info;)
yes that's me;)  i have not submitted to istock much but i am curious! I have been cautious about microstock so far but i have experimented with the different agencies... 

...i didn't know the process is the same for submitting for vetta and agency

so once i go exclusive i'm allowed to submit a few per week and its all up to the editors?

Hi
can someone tell me the benefit in going exclusive with istock? (besides percentage rate increase)
how do you get a file into vetta? agency collection?   curious ...thanks in advance.

Hi Jonathan
can i ask if you do better at getty with RM or RF?
corbis?   are they similiar or is RM still paying better per cost of making each photo?

many thanks to all who replied!

mike

anyone else? ..super interesting thread

lagereek..well thats good news your RM RPI is going up;)

seriously its good news  - is it because your building your collections? or do you just have some great agencies that work well with you?

so far from the thread its getty / corbis
...sometimes other RM boutique agencies

than Microstock

than alamy

more or less from what i can gather;)

i've never heard anyone say getty sells less than alamy?
just curious.. ..that would be a first for my ears

thanks for the replies
..what do you mean by "private"... like the smaller boutique agencies?

thanks Paulie
anyone else submit to the different places that can compare?

thanks

anyone out there submit to all of these?
just curious your RPI from Micros vs Alamy
vs Getty/Flickr? or Corbis

anyone?

thanks ..another first post

i'm  slightly up with a small port of 400 images

i never heard how the contract ended up... can they still transfer RM to Rf if it doesn't sell for 3 years?
or has that part been taken out?

interesting thanks for sharing.. ..anyone else get into getty recently?
