Tech: The Getty Images iPad app is full of photo-editing win

  • We mentioned this to our boy Charles Apple last night, but it needs to be emphasized. This app makes photo-editing – a job that once required people to spend hours looking at dull Web pages – significantly easier. We used it and found the interface impeccable – it’s just easier than clicking through page after page of photos. We approve. (Do this with iStockPhoto next, guys. Please? You own it. You could do it.) source

Biz: From thousands to $30: iStockPhoto and the cover of Time

istockphoto0729
  • A great find from our friend Charles Apple (who wrote a great write-up on the site just as it was launching). This image was on the cover of Time, one of nation’s highest-circulation magazines, yet Robert Lam got paid just $30 for it. If a commissioned photographer took it, they would’ve gotten paid much more. It’s not the first time something like this has happened, but it’s becoming more prevalent due to the fact that some stock photo (and editorial content) sites tend to thin the value of content. Read the blog. It makes great points. source
