modano1973 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Recently, Getty Images changed their policies regarding accessing their photos without the watermark. There were discussions on it below. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130519200742AAyUFRH http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlDMXkSifoOxjK1HA0N4aOXty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20130518191553AA6H9GP I also located this information from another page, http://designatedsource.forumcommunity.net/?t=51617844&st=30 NOTE FOR PEOPLE WITH GETTYIMAGES ACCOUNTS: I know many people are going to ask why there are watermarks on photos featured on Getty Images despite having an account and being signed in, so let me explain what's happening. Getty recently changed their policies in, I guess, an attempt to crack down on people who signed up solely to obtain watermark-free photos without purchasing them. I don't know if they finally figured out that that's what was happening but even with an account, you cannot get photos sans watermark unless you actually pay for them. As far as I know, there is no trick or code change to remove the watermark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xspoilerx Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Dang. They have a calculate price button but that brings up all sorts of different marketing reasons. Why can't there be an option just for printing it up and sticking it the folder with my letter of authenticity haha. Maybe I will email them and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Dont email them, email these guys - photofile.com - they will print 8x10s for any active player for like $10. As long as the pic isnt from a 'contributor' you should be good. Just go to the contact area and send them the getty number and see what they say. Best option out there imo.

Xspoilerx Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 The one I was looking at is from 2006. He's stil an active player but plays for another team if that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandon Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I just heard back from them this morning and they were able to add in this sweet picture of Boyd Gordon taking a faceoff against Dave Steckel. I hope to land both jerseys so the picture will be awesome to have and hopefully get signed. Im going to get a few more Getty #s for them and will be placing an order this week I hope. http://www.photofile.com/SportsProducts/search/boyd%20gordon.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xspoilerx Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 That's an awesome photo especially when you will end up with the jerseys. Now I wish I saved the older photos i found with the getty number on them. Now I have to go back and find the photos again..should be to bad. Hopefully I can do an order in a week or two.

I couldn't find hardly any pictures of Stastny in last years IIHF that site had a bunch. Now I just gotta go back thru to see if one is a photo match awesome info guys.

brandon Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I placed my order this weekend for a 16x20 print. Will let you know/post it here once it comes in. Now if only the flippin jerseys would get posted for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xspoilerx Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Cool that's a nice size for the pic, that will be an awesome display one you get those jerseys. I'm still trying to decide what pics I want to use I may end up getting a couple just to see if it is a photo match, the water mark is in the way on a couple. the ones I have matched to the pics are not as good, Liles looks like he's ready to pass out in the pics. I did buy a signed hockey card on eBay that's a photo match that's not to bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
