Bradenton, FL,: ImageVortex.com is pleased to announce a hand-picked royalty free image collection that is aimed to compete with rights managed collections, traditionally known for their utmost quality.
Rights managed (also known as RM) stock image collections have always been referred to as the ultimate source of highest quality imagery for most business needs. But they are often much more expensive than images available on a royalty free basis.
Aside from price considerations, customers tend to like the fact that royalty free images can be used more than once and do not require additional royalty payments after initial purchase. |

While remaining committed to seeking legislative solutions to the
Orphan Works issue, ASMP's board of directors is also seeking
technology and business solutions to be utilized by visual
artists.
"Our members need new tools and services to deal with Orphan
Works and the expanding digital marketplace. We must make it
easier for rights holders to be located." says newly elected ASMP
president Clem Spalding.
To that end, the ASMP board and staff are exploring the available
options and possible partners for the creation of registries or
other databases of owner or user information. ASMP believes that
this is an excellent opportunity for all of the various
photography and illustration associations to come together to
benefit their combined memberships.

On Thursday, Getty Images, Inc. (NYSE: GYI), the world's largest stock photo distributor, released the results of its financial report for the first quarter of 2006 in which it reported record revenue exceeding $200 million. By Friday, Getty Images' stock had dropped 13.75 percent in heavy trading to a closing price of $65.66 per share.
During a conference call with investment analysts, company CEO Jonathan Klein said that Getty was "disappointed" to report that RF sales volumes in the Americas fell 6 percent, and revenues grew just 4 percent.
Though Getty Images met its own revenue forecasts, those revenues fell short of what Wall Street analysts had predicted. It is becoming increasingly clear to analysts is that Getty's two largest competitors, Corbis and Jupiterimages may be inhibiting Getty's growth. Corbis, which is owned by Microsoft's Bill Gates, is the world's second largest stock photo distributor. The number three stock photo distributor, Jupiterimages is also very influential because its parent company, Jupitermedia Corporation (Nasdaq: JUPM), is also a publicly traded company.
