Photomatching: Printing off Getty?

[aphanna25]

This may in all likelihood be a dumb question, but I recently bought an item that is photo-matched successfully on Getty. It looks like these photos are all private and need permission and/or purchase to acquire one. How do collectors here obtain an 8x10" or other photos from Getty for display purposes? Or is there another way to do this? Thanks in advance.

You contact Getty for the rights, or there's another site (I forget the name, but someone else will certainly know) that does the retail (non-commercial use) sales of photos for Getty. I don't recall the price, but I think it was reasonable, like $20 or something.

Contact photofile.com. Give them the photo number from Getty and they can usually sell it to you. Typically around $10 per image.

Thanks Michael. That's the place I was thinking of. The price is even better than what I thought!

Terrific. Thanks everyone.

Wow, great information! I figured that there must be a way but Getty never returned any of my email queries. Thanks for the link!

How is the shipping on PhotoFile.

I remember Steiner Photo Store had a nice selection of pictures, but I once saw the shipping price and was so insulted I would never buy anything from them.

$2 bucks maybe. I think it's free shipping on orders over $15.

Thanks for this.

Spent my day off placing an order of 29 photos(so many matches today, very excited). Shipping was 18.68 to WA. I will update when I get them with quality ect.....

Hey......I just tried to get my first image off Getty to Photofile for a print......they said it was an NFL image and that they could not do a print for me. Anyone have this happen? What types of images are you guys having success with? Thanks.....Tony
