Looks like just the subscription options from the normal Dreamstime site, without credit expiration. Different video options. Not really sure what the point of this site is. Some "Machine learning" benefit...  https://www.megapixl.com/

NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dreamstime, the world's largest community in stock photography, announced today the launch of Megapixl.com, a new website that utilizes machine learning to offer more refined stock image choices based on past user behaviors. This artificial intelligence (AI) utilizes data garnered from all of the Dreamstime sites regarding which content is the most relevant and suitable for the individual user.

Dreamstime analyzes user-driven Big Data that is collected into its main AI from across its library of websites and across multiple electronic devices. It then leverages that information to recommend Megapixl.com images to designers based on the actions of other aggregated user decisions. The end result is a more engaging and relevant user experience. The system "learns" user preferences over time, and will give higher priority ratings to content that is most suitable to the individual user.

Available on a subscription basis, Megapixl.com features the most attractive stock image subscriptions in the industry. The initial collection on Megapixl.com is curated based on editor's feedback and customer behaviors that rate images and place them within certain ranks in the collection. Once the site is launched, the machine learning platform will take gathered user data into account and offer refinements to the Dreamstime.com main site. Content on the site includes photos, vector art, and video content representing several categories including abstract, business, people, editorial, 2D & 3D Animation, Video Production Elements, Technology, and Travel.

"By launching MegaPixl we give users access to an incredible collection that is curated by humans and then further improved and customized by machine learning tools that learn past behaviors to make dynamic recommendations," said Serban Enache, CEO and co-founder, Dreamstime. "The initial collection on Megapixl is already curated because we've accounted for user's actions so we know how images will be rated and placed within the collection. Megapixl is designed as a first stop for designers because we are effectively using the designer community to help itself by basing the collection on designer behaviors. Users will come to the site to find the right image quickly giving them more time to focus on their designs."

The site will offer a 30 Day Free Trial that will provide new customers with the opportunity to experience the difference of the new image gallery available on Megapixl.com.

This is pretty interesting, I think. Would be curious to know the terms of the original shoot, if they paid at that point.

The long awaited Ktools Photostore 4 has a live demo now - it's pre-beta but seems to be moving fairly quickly now.

Public front end is here: http://www.ktoolsdemos.net/ps4demo/

The management area can be found at: http://www.ktoolsdemos.net/ps4demo/manager/

This is a complete redo of Photostore, and seems like a remarkable jump.

Yup, about right:

I've been wondering - what types of images (subject matter) are more likely to be purchased under an extended license? For many of the intended uses, I would think that scenic/landscapes would be popular, but there are many exceptions.

I haven't sold enough ELs to really have a feel for this, but for those of you that have: Is there a difference in the type of image, or are ELs of all subject matter purchased with about the same statistical frequency throughout your portfolio?

Thanks!

Did you know that a user can buy a single image now at Shutterstock for $15? Anyone know how long this has been available?

General Stock Discussion / License Question - Is this normal?
« on: January 30, 2011, 16:53 »
I was looking through the Bigstock Standard license, and here's how it opens:

"Use of image files
Bigstock licenses to you the use of image files only as provided herein  on a nonexclusive and nontransferable basis upon payment of the required fees. All other rights to the image files and any accompanying materials such as copyright are retained by Bigstock and its members. The license granted to you is limited to one usage per download. For example, if an image is used in a website design and in a business card design, this is considered two usages for which the image license must  be purchased two times. Using an image in multiple products without purchasing the licenses for each usage violates this Agreement."

I've never seen wording related to the "one use per download" before, and this has never been my impression about royalty-free usage.

I didn't see anything like this in other agency terms and it seems like a significant restriction. Any thoughts?
