STOCK IMAGES

www.gettyimages.com.au

Getty Images provides different assets for digital media as Royalty-free stock imagery and editorial images for footage, music and multimedia. They offer an extensive stock of images and illustrations from conceptual rights-managed and royalty-free creative images to up-the-minute editorial coverage.

The process to get images from this website involves a series of steps:

Step 1: Search
We can enter keywords in the search box to preview the Creative or Editorial library of images. To brainstorm while we search, there is an option called Catalyst.


Stock imagery

We can choose Creative images to view stock photos that are trend-researched, art-directed and shot by professional photographers. Search keywords can include concepts like innovation or emotions like happiness.

News, sport and entertainment imagery

Editorial images for news, sport and entertainment photography are available. Search terms can include names like Michael Jordan or events like the F1.



Step 2: License
Licences allow us to legally use the images in our projects. The most common types of licenses are royalty-free and rights-managed. We can get a quick overview of licensing models, then start the search.


Royalty-free licenses

Royalty-free (RF) licensing is based on file size, and pricing is available right when we select an image. Royalty-free means we don't have to pay any additional royalties for successive uses of a product – it's an unlimited-use license.


Rights-managed licenses

Rights-managed (RM) image licensing is based on usage, and pricing is calculated once we provide usage specifications. These images are from the premier collections and offer highly stylized images with high production value – some can be licensed with exclusive rights.



Step 3: Download
We've selected the image and now we're ready to download for preview, or add to the cart, then check out and download. We can bill to an established account or to a credit card. We can also establish a company account for credit terms or tax-exempt purchasing, or add ourselves to an existing company account. We can contact Getty Images at any point if it needed.

Once we have selected the images we want, there are a few options:

1. Click on it and have a preview in a larger size.
