Do you also find it funny that since Getty has bought them they introduced a plan for selling logos on istock..

while raising prices over at iStock, Getty is now lowering their prices on low-res royalty free and rights managed in their other collections. $5-50, not bad if you don't need the resolution.

iStock should burn in hell for the fact that every godamn client now thinks that stock photos over $10 are too expensive. And they also have shitty photos too.
- the vector stuff is alright thoughimnotadesigner
- Well, clients used to pay for photo shoots before stock photography came along in general.ETM
- Art and design in most forms continues to be cannabilized by similar services.ETM

Actually Corbis = Microsoft:
from Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cor…
"Corbis is privately owned by Bill Gates, who founded the company in 1989 under the name Interactive Home Systems (a name currently held by an unrelated, slightly older company based in Concord, Massachusetts). One major reason for starting the company was Gates's belief that people would someday decorate their homes with a revolving display of digital artwork using digital frames.[1] The company's name was changed to Continuum Productions in 1994 and to Corbis Corporation a year later. "Corbis" is Latin for "wicker basket", which at the time referred to the company's emerging view of itself as a receptacle or storehouse for visual media. Its Bettmann Archive (acquired in 1995) is stored 220 feet underground in a refrigerated cave in the Iron Mountain storage facility.[2]"

Oh well, iStock is about 98% crap... but so are most stock photo sites. Difference is iStock''s crap costs hundreds less.

They are gonna gradually raise them every week until before you notice it is back at the Getty level, and then quietly redirect the iStock site to Getty, and go back to being a money making company.
*I see what they did there

I still can't believe that cost of some of the images out there! iStock is great, price wise, but quality is definitely less than Corbis or Getty.
I just priced a photo for a client, chose a Flexible License, price came to $18,000 for one image for 2 years!!!!
Crazy
- As long as that photo can cure cancer, I'd say it's worth it.imakethepictures
