"Veer Royale is a collection of the sweetest images we’ve got. Our photo editors have hand-picked a select group of photos, illustrations, and vectors that are highly stylized, well-crafted, and have strong aesthetic appeal. In other words, the best of the best."

But it seems like it is at the same prices as before, so what is the point?  Hey look at us, we have pretty images!  ???

Use the search engine for 'Front Yard'

Not too many people have the ocean for their front yard?

Not only that. IS can at least select reasonably good imagery for the Vettas. The Veer royale collection looks more as if they have selected the worst. Some are even terrible.

Many of these veer royal files can be found on gettyimages. Do a search and compare.

Forgot to add that I learned about this through an email Veer sent me announcing the new collection.

It looks to me like an effort to push buyers towards Corbis or to sell image collection discs to them. I'm seeing some really lousy Corbis stuff - underexposed and poor WB.

I believe youre right. Some of these pictures have been around for years and many of them containing people looks really outdated, clothing everything.
This is Corbis all over trying to make money out of really mediocre material.
