--- Quote from: Jojo - Super Image Market on March 16, 2015, 23:36 ---If you find a great image on a stock images agency which price is too high, you can search it with Discover, and you may find many similar images but with a much lower price.
So, using Discover could help you to save time and money by searching licensed images with random images.

If I understand correct, you help clients to find image as cheap as possible? That's great! For clients... Well, many PRO authors will be indignant with your tool as they (we) try to sell for higher than lower pricing. I mean helping find the cheapest image means less income for author - your tool works agains photographers. Am I correct thinking it works this way? I know my instinct may seem not nice but it tells me something smells bad here for my business.

From other thread:

Hm... We (authors) don't want to see lower and lower prices too...

And now we have four threads on the forum :)

Thank you for your focus on SIM.
Discover always gives the image buyers the most similar ones, the similarity is the only factor that determines the results, not the price. We believe this is very equal for every image, also for every contributor. But yes, different image have different price, as a contributor you could set price on SIM, you could set a lower price, cause we all know small profits and quick return, while you could also set a higher price for you images which you think are really good ones. On the other hand, the image buyers have the right to choose the images they want, they may take composition, price and other elements into consideration, but that's market. What we want to build is a fair and free market for both of contributors and the image buyers.
Hope this could help to settle your doubts. Thanks.

The search is an interesting concept
The royalties are good

Regarding search , if for instance an image sells, does that qualify it to rank higher in the search?
And what about deleting images, is it possible to completely remove images from the database, and how quickly can it be done?
And what about licensing? Are there different licenses for different uses or is it one licence for all?
The only other concern is POD print on demand of it is allowed?

If the image buyer using search by image, the results is only depend on the similarity, which means the more your image is similar to the searched one, the higher rank your image will have.If the image buyer using search by keywords, then the results will depend on the sales, user's favorites and other elements, of course, the more your images be sold, the higher rank your images will have.

Yes, you can delete any image at anytime you want, but usually, we will give the image another 30 days because some image buyers may already have put the image into their shopping cart. After 30 days, the image will be completely removed from our database.

SIM have two kinds of image license, RF and RL, RF is royalty free images as we all know, RL imgae is rights limited images(generally speaking, the RL images are the images which do not have the model release or the property release ), which could only be used in editorial usage. For the RF images, image buyers could purchase the standard licence and also the extended licence,while the RL image could only be used in editorial. Both price of standard licence and extended licence are set by contributors when they upload images.

Please feel free to contace me if you have any detail quetions.
Thanks.

I only see two contributors - Bestviewstock with over 100k and Viewstock with 50k. Both Chinese factories. So, you're not really going to gain an audience with that kind of content.

The Discover function actually works pretty well. It couldn't find the images I was looking for, but it managed to figure out that a clown fish was a clown fish and gave me back images of clown fish. Same for roller skates.

I agree...things need to be rewritten by a native English speaker, and the video needs a native-English-speaking VO. Also, the photos you're choosing as the background images behind the search box are too busy. It makes it difficult to see the search box. "About us" is written to contributors, which would be odd for a buyer to read. I suggest separate paths for buyers and contributors. I think the site still needs a bit of work.

But I do like the 80% idea a lot. :)
