Getty initiative riles photographers - BJP
"Facing tough competition in the market for pictures used online,
Getty Images has devised a new licencing model - and photographers don't like it, reports Diane Smyth. "Groups representing more than 12,000 professional photographers are urging Getty Images to drop rights-managed images from its new $49 'web use' licence. "The offer, launched on 11 September, features images from virtually all of Getty's collections at 72dpi for just $49, or £39 in the UK. Royalty-free images have already been made available for one-year periods under the new licence, but Getty plans to add rights-ready and rights-managed images in the coming weeks, plans which photographers and their representatives have met with outrage. "The UK's Association of Photographers has joined with the Stock Artists Alliance, the American Society of Media Photographers, the Advertising Photographers of America, the Editorial Photographers and the Canadian Association of Photographers to write to Getty, urging the organisation to drop right-managed and rights-ready collections from the web licence deal."

reading their website:
Q. Is this a new product? A. Yes, the 500KB 72 dpi file is a new size. Please note that 500KB is an estimate and depends on a few variables such as color versus black and white. How come these guys don't work in pixels? It's for the web, right? Why not say max size will be 400 pixels, or whatever? "Tony Polson" wrote in message ...

Why not say max size will be 400 pixels, or whatever? I agree that's strange but that number is about right for 400 pixel wide tif files... assuming the end user might want to do a little cropping, resizing and choose their own compression. In that case that's a rather small file size but most web images outside of photo galleries are well under 400 pixels and that makes it completely useless for magazines.
