couldn't hurt to see what they are offering and how much it is going to cost you just to sign up. Do you continue to own the copyright and are you able to still sell your images even though they are listed on the getty site?

I will own the copyright but cannot sell them unless I make them limited editions etc. I can still use them for marketing though.

I am actually thinking I do not need to supply a stock agency my images and give them full rights. If my plans come to fruition in the coming years then it would be detrimental I think. Hmmmm

One has to think carefully about this. If you have a game plan, just make sure that immediate gratification (pat on the shoulder from a big agency) can block your options at a later time.
