Re: Getty Images are now free
At first, I was pinching myself, thinking, "It's not April Fool's yet, is it?"

Re: Getty Images are now free
When they give us the ability to download in Hi Res then it will be a breakthrough and I doubt that will happen.
As far as I know MLB still has the rights to any MLB photo on Getty and its expensive to legally obtain the Hi Res photos. I know this since I buy several a year and found out last year how expensive it was to do an exclusive photo.Comment

Re: Getty Images are now free
I can understand not releasing the "hi-res" library for multiple reasons, but I don't quite grasp what they did. So the images on site still have the ridiculous watermark, but if someone pays for the image... it still won't have the watermark? I'm pretty much lost on this. The only thing I got from it was that Getty won't sue eBay folks who use their images anymore.Comment

Re: Getty Images are now free
OK, I just tried the easy Tweet feature with my son on his Twitter and the darn Getty watermark is still on there!
Yes, it made it easy but it didn't work like the example of the Angelina Jolie pic in their example.
Maybe just a glitch but this is what it did on this Bryce Harper pic:

I understand that they needed to do something to stop the bootlegs but that still won't stop those who backdoor and steal the Hi Res photos and sell them.Comment

Re: Getty Images are now free
Hey guys here is how to get them without the water mark. After you click this icon </> another window pops up to embed the photo. If you click on show image preview, it will show the photo below without the watermark. Just right click on it and Save Image As. Some photos don't have this option however, like ones owned by newspapers etc. Gotta love free! Maybe they'll break down someday and let us have the high res too!
I can't seem to follow what you are doing. I don't see this icon </> anywhere?Comment

Re: Getty Images are now free
Unfortunately some photos don't have the option. Follow the link to this Harper photo, it should clear up what you are looking for. See the icons directly beneath the photo on the right side?
