iStockPhoto.com / Re: Realistic price to sell a non-exclusive perpetual license to Getty?

...As for the Adobe $5 per 1 year offer, what exactly is that about? ...Does Adobe have another licensing deal going where they offer you a flat $5 per image to sell that image for 1 year?
1. The images Getty took and gave away some years ago stopped selling on other sites, don't know if that was just my experience.
2. Adobe offered $5 per image to let them add it to their free collection for one year. They let you choose which to offer from a selection. Not my cup of tea, but they did it in a much more contributor friendly way, and for more money.
Interesting! When I did my estimations I only compared the one time yield to what those images were earning me on iStock, extrapolated for the next decades. Unsurprisingly, since iStock often pays just a few cents per sale, the one time payment came out ahead in this calculation. However, if like you say sales of those images on other platforms die down as a consequence, this would look very different.
