Re: has anyone purchased a GettyImage for personal use?

Hi does anyone know if you find a photo at corbis, how you go about purchasing one? I assume you choose the online option and have a file emailed ....then say the image is 400 px or 640px, can you print a 8x10 from this?

Thanks

unfortunately at 400x640 you won't even get a decent 4x6 pic from it. the best recommended size for a 8x10 is 2400x3000 at 300 dpi.

Really disappointed in the product I received from dailynewspix.com (NY Daily News photo archive), and am now in a rush for a fix for a signing this weekend.

If anyone can help on short notice, please send me a PM. Thanks!

No, the 10 x 6.67 inch measurement is just another way of expressing resolution. To use a pre-digital metaphor, think of it as the size of the negative.

With a file size of 17.2 MB, this is going to be an uncompressed RAW file, which means you could print a massive photograph (think mural size) with complete clarity.

In fact, you might want to consider buying a lower-resolution version of the image, which would lower your cost. Use the on-line chat feature and ask what resolution would be suitable for printing at 8x10 (or 11x14 or whatever size you think you'll print at).

There's no limit to the number of photos you can print, but of course, you can't sell them.

If you do buy the full 17.2 MB file, you're going to have to compress it (i.e. reduce the file size) anyway, since it's too large for on-line photo services or the kind of photo kiosk you'd find at someplace like Walgreens.

Yeah, I've printed flawless 24x30 images with some cropping from a 12MB professional grade camera. So the 17.2 MB file would go well beyond that. Think approaching FatHead size. In fact, FatHead uses the same game photos from the same photographers as you will find on those media sites.

I would recommend trying someplace professional portrait photographers use like mpix.com for your prints, if the other sites are telling you to reduce your file size.

Have your tried AP images? I recently purchased some 8x10 photos from them and was very pleased, price was about $20 per photo.

Hey game used...

Did you have to call ap to purchase that for personal use? I created an account and tried to add a photo to a cart, but it says that I don't have any type of license and to call the 1 800 to inquire on how to purchase.
