thanks for this news Alex, I'm quite new to 123rf (started in jan 2008) and I welcome these changes that seems to promise better rewards to whom commit seriously to stock photography.

For multiseat licensing, please refer to: http://www.123rf.com/license.php?type=ml_5The multiseat licensing is available at the bottom of the page. Or you may go to any image detail, click on the multiseat license tab, and then click on the multiseat licensing link :)Thank you!Alex.

Says creativeapril on March 7, 2008, 03:39 PM
I don't understand why you are advertising RAW and TIFF. I never upload RAW files and I'm sure a lot of subscribers wouldn't want them (they might not have a conversion program). I've a feeling that you don't really mean RAW.Producing TIFFs for one place is a pain in the bottom and adds to uploadig tiem. Will you automatically be converting jpgs to TIFFs like another place does?It's also confusing that you switch between pixel dimensions and megabytes. 28MB would be about 10 megapixels, 12MB would be about 4.2 megapixels. Is that right?I'm happy to see a move towards better remuneration for photographers but would welcome clarification of these points.
Says paulcowan on March 8, 2008, 11:56 AM
@paulcowan : Don't worry, everything is handled on our end, basically it means images more than 10 MP are considered mega high. TIFFs etc are all handled by our system. Just continue doing what you do best - shooting, keywording and uploading, we'll handle the rest.

"all things pleasant will still remain"Does this mean that we can keep things the same, if we wanted? With this new plan, I will be paying 2 credits for what I pay only 1 credit for now. Seems like this is a price hike scheduled to take place at the same time as some features additions.
Says techworks on March 12, 2008, 09:55 AM
a new tool that would help the contributors would be to see how many times each photo has been viewed, so we can see what kind of images people are looking for. thanks.

It seems that pataiya feels EXACTLY the same way I do. Any comments from the admins?
Says techworks on March 19, 2008, 03:20 PM
Wonderful website. I think the packages is fairly priced and I have no issue with the price increase. It's only measly a few dollars for all the million images and great customer service! Keep it up.
Says andrewkoh on March 19, 2008, 06:27 PM
This encourage customer to be more careful with the size of photo they need for their projects. I think it's a good change :) keep it up!

Y a-t-il quelques français sur ce site afin de pouvoir discuter dans sa langue ?Merci de vous faire connaître par l'intermédiaire de ce post.Imag'In Pyrénées
Says impy on March 26, 2008, 01:12 PM
I just wish the site had been more straightforward about the price increase... I don't think it was even mentioned in the text. I read the text talking about all the wonderful changes coming and as I looked at the price list, I realized it's primarily about a price increase. Hopefully, this means more $ for the photographers, but for subscribers, paying more isn't a wonderful change. Just be honest and say, "We're sorry we have to raise prices, but we are also adding some great features, etc." I'm not thrilled with getting less for my money, but 123rf.com is still a great value.

For me sales have been very slow. So it doesn't matter what the sales price if nothing is sold anyway :(

this sounds great

O yes this is great I always welcome a 100% price increase.Not going to support that kind of raise in prices, going to find other sites, Oh I aready have. I hope your photographers enjoy the reduced amount of traffic!!

Speed and specific operation of site seems improved BUT would like the primary navigation access to the lightboxes returned.Transfer of images from one lightbox to another - somewhat 'hit & miss'
