Hello,

I am new to this site.
The other day I was planning to get on inmagine.But one of the lines in their contract said that I can't sell same pics at a lower price at any other website.Now the thing is that I sell some on fotolia, dreamstime and would be getting on istock today/tomorrow.So they sell my pics at a very small price.So can't I sell the same pics on inmagine?I am aware of the fact that the images being sold as rf cannot be sold as rm on either alamy or inmagine.But can't I sell the same pics as rf even on inmagine?

Help me with this please.I am an amateur and don't have so many variations of the same subject that I can give different pic to different agency.How should I tackle this?Can I give the pics that I give to alamy?Alamy is okay if I sell the same pics but as rf only.How should I tackle inmagine?Should I sort out exclusive images for inmagine?'Coz the others are being sold at lower price, thus I said exclusive pics for inmagine.So I haven't yet uploaded my 1st 5 pics as samples.

Correct me if I am wrong or have a wrong idea about the contract.

Sounds like they want exclusive stuff, also why does the site layout look pretty much identical to 123RF?

So could I give the same images I give to alamy?The prices are almost same..Not lower than inmagine's.

Or should Igive them exclusive images?Is it worth that special exclusive extra hard work?

Oh, that explains it!

OP, I don't know, I wouldn't bother with them, I don't think they are a big earner. Anyone else have experience with them?

Yes, they don't want anything that's on micro sites but will take stuff that's on equivalent non-exclusive macro sites like Alamy, Age etc. Having said that I haven't uploaded there in years, sales are few and very far between as a direct contributor, however I do sell more through a distributor with them.

My advice to the OP - go with a distributor or pick one of the majors to send your work direct.

Same lark as 123, with reviewing/editing techniques which are terrible. Cant spot a commercial shot, if it knocked on their eyelids.
