Q&A

What exactly is meant by "Creative" images?

“Creative” refers to art-directed images and video intended for any and all uses, including use in commercial projects like advertising, websites, blogs, presentations, video productions, as well as virtually any other project you can imagine, within the terms of our content license agreement.  These are visuals created to promote, support, and endorse products and ideas.  This content can be used in commercial products as it is fully released (meaning person and places depicted have signed releases permitting such use).

What’s the best way to search for a person and get shots of that person, not shots where that person is merely mentioned in caption. For example: Photos of Vladimir Putin, not photos of protests of Putin.

For Editorial stills, use the ‘Specific People’ filter. There is no concomitant filter available for Editorial video.

So how do you access the guide?

With Boolean operators, do parentheses matter? as in: "sky and (cloud or plane) not (bird or ball)

Parentheses are not required, but they may help you more quickly isolate different parts of a long, complicated search string, which can be helpful if you make lots of modifications or tweaks to your search.

Can you share the list of search modifiers?

When login with premium access, I notice stock images are not included but are they available when not logged in?

You do not have to be logged in to view content on our website.  However, we recommend logging so that you can view the content that is included in your Premium Access.  If you are not seeing content under your Premium Access search results that you think is included your agreement, please reach out to your sales rep. If you would like to share a preview of the content included in your agreement to someone that does not have a username or is not part of your agreement, you can create a Guest Preview link.  To access this link, navigate to Your Account -> then to Overview. Under Agreements, click on “Share preview.”  This will allow you to share a “read only” view of the content in the agreement.  It will not allow anyone to download from the agreement.

is there a way to see all the comps or downloads in an account?

Log in to your account and click on your name, which appears in the upper right corner of the screen.  A panel appears offering links to information about your account, including download & purchase histories and invoices.

Are you able to do this reverse image search function for editorial images? Or just on video + creative images?

We are working towards offering reverse-search functionality on the Editorial stills portion of our website, but this ability is not yet available.

For the video search do I need to name, or labelled the video with a key word?

There is no need to add text or any descriptors when you use our Search by Video feature.  Just drop the clip or frame-grab in and results will be returned.

If one downloads an image and for some reason needs to download the same image again, is the client charged twice for the same image?

This depends on their agreement, they need to check in with their sales rep.
