Title: Shutterstock back up CDs?
Post by: fintastique on August 16, 2006, 03:55

Whats all this about?

I presume that once somebody had DLed a photo they have the option of having that image burned onto a CD that is posting to them and the photographer gets another 5c.

Rather strange as today I had 17 images burnt to CD (all of Scotland) I have the odd image before. It would nice to get a per-phot sale or an extended license instead.

You got it in one.

It's just a little bonus on the original sale of the image really.  I got 8 this month.  It's for those designers who are too lazy to burmn their own CD's. :-)

They've already got the full-res image, so it's not like they need it, and they wind up paying twice for the image.

Cheers, me.

That is correct.

additionally i believe the credit is given when the cd is burned, not when the image is originally downloaded

That is also correct.
