Re: Getty images - how to buy?

Greg,

I saw that post -- all that told me was that it is not in the rules here to buy these images off of Getty's site.. but I want to know how you buy them ON their site...

If my question is unclear, here is an example of what I am talking about:

1. I sign in (I have created an account a couple of days ago)
2. I run a search. For example "Keith Hernandez"
3. I select an image, add to my cart
4. I try to check out, and then all the fun begins...

The price of the photo is set to $0.00, and there is a button to "calculate price" which leads me to a series of prompts of which none of the criteria apply to me. I tried a few options, though they did not quite apply, and the price that was calculated was astronomical... basically it was as if I was licensing the photo for some commercial use. I just want to display the photo in my home next to a jersey...

I don't know where to go from here.

I called Getty and have been transferred to someone's voice mail a couple of times. This guy doesn't call back... so I'm stuck.

Has anyone ordered from this site before? If so, how.

Re: Getty images - how to buy?

I don't believe you can buy a photo directly from getty unless you buy the rights to the photo also (I tried once and they wanted like $1500). I'm not sure if I'm able to post the e-mail here anymore but if you'd like to know where to get the $5 8x10 photos from getty then e-mail me at kylehess941@hotmail.com and I'll reply back with the e-mail to the guy that does it

Re: Getty images - how to buy?

TNTtoys,

Sorry, I wasn't aware that one could buy images directly from Getty. I emailed them once upon a time and they told me they don't sell to the public.

I sent the same email to SI and they said they would sell me a nice print for $400

Now I try and hunt down prints being sold by the original photographer. Have purchased prints from newspapers too.

Re: Getty Images

Getty images are ultra-expensive to license if you deal with the company directly. I spoke to them one evening, and they advised me to go to photofile.com as a cheap altermative...
but if you're just looking to view the images and not purchase them, you should be able to join the Getty website and be able to browse without any problems or cost. The photos are all watermarked with a Getty logo unless purchased -- but this should suffice if you're just doing research.

Try this search criteria on GETTY

If you want to see some nice images of numbers on knobs do a search on "bat rack" on GETTY.

There are some nice images that come back!

Enjoy!

Re: Blowing up a getty image

Right click any photo and choose,"save photo as". It will go in "My Pictures" file. Hit Start at the bottom left of your screen. Then click on "Documents" The file should be there or in "my pictures". Right click the photo file and it will come up with the ability to enlarge. ------ Or simply right click and drag the photo to the top of the space bar and release the right click. A window will immediately open with the ability to enlarge/reverse turn around etc the photo.

Re: Blowing up a getty image

Make sure you click on the getty photo to enlarge it first then apply part one of my suggestion. Part 2 works for Corbis not Getty.
