I intend to try to make images exclusive on symbiostock, to cut the agencies!

I love the idea that you can choose to make sister images (that are more step-sister-ish) exclusive, cos it's your sandbox

I do think having some exclusive images is important - I have about 9 at the moment with a link from my home page to them.

I think it is worth a serious try. I have 86 exclusive images of a total of 246 images online so far.

I know that you can choose non-exclusive/exclusive during the upload process but unless I'm missing something the customer has no idea if an image is exclusive or not?  I can't find any mention on the image detail page.

I'm not reliant on micro for my income. So all future images can be exclusive!

I don't think choosing the non-exclusive/exclusive option is doing anything right now. May be it will if Leo finds time for getting down to it.

So I just make it clear in the description and have created a category called "Premium Collection" for exclusive images.

See for instance http://www.imagoborealis.com/image/winter-mountain-range-landscape-of-yukon-territory-canada/ (http://www.imagoborealis.com/image/winter-mountain-range-landscape-of-yukon-territory-canada/)

It takes extra time, of course, but I am willing to put it in just to see if it works eventually.

I'll make a big yellow EXCLUSIVE sign on the page if you turn on exclusive. :D TONIGHT!

Hmm. Something is wrong. I get the green exclusive banner on my image pages, but no labels under the thumbnails. I have five exclusive images. I labeled them yesterday. Today, when I went to Royalty Free Images>All Images and looked at the uploads, exclusive had been deselected on three of them. ??? I am on 2.4.8. Is there another upgrade?

I thought this was just a great feature of symbiostock.info. I wouldn't mind, however, if Leo would integrate this into the theme  ;)

Cathy, are you looking on Ajt's site and have you given it time to update? He is the one with the banners under the thumbnails

Sth related. Can you make a another symbol / mark when the category is "Editorial"?

How about doing something like I have with this one, it will not show up anywhere else but brightens up the text  :)

Or "Editorial Use Only" so people understand there are restrictions. Some might take Editorial as a description, instead of a license limitation.


I looked at someone site and the images have for editorial use only in red under them. I'm not sure what you are asking for? You mean when people are searching and haven't clicked the image yet?
