On Friday, iStockphoto issued a contributor update, wherein they announced the near completion of a new stock image licensing workflow, one which will allows payments directly from a credit card: This week we have an early peek for iStock contributors into some upcoming site news: soon iStock customers will be able to pay for file downloads directly with their credit card, without first having to purchase credits.
A relative of mine has a really nice pool, and I’ve been wanting to shoot some stock images there for quite a while, and I finally got to that theme before it turned 108 here in St. Louis. This new royalty free stock image series features a cute Caucasian nuclear family with kids, 10 and under, having a great day in the water. This series can be found exclusively at Stocksy, the new royalty free stock agency.

We’ve partnered with Adobe to create the iStock Plug-in for their Creative Suite. Adobe CS users can use the plug-in to browse and download iStock directly from Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
It’s about time for a portfolio update of a new stock image series. The Pinterest articles have proved popular, and in the last week or two, the mainstream media has started to pick up on the issues with Pinterest and copyright infringement, so a Google search shows plenty of views and opinions on the subject. I will likely collect a batch of more up to date articles for fun reading later this week to post here. So, back to the […]
