Ok a couple of months ago I could sign into getty images and the mark on the pictures would not be there now when I sign in it doesn't make a differance the mark stays there anybody else have this issue I found a photo match and it would be nice to have a clear picture without that mark.

Recently, Getty Images changed their policies regarding accessing their photos without the watermark.

There were discussions on it below.

I also located this information from another page,

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.

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

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.

A lot of a Getty Images photos can be found on http://www.zimbio.com without the watermark.

Thats a good site. I found a couple of pictures of another jersey im trying to match up This ones going to be tough Its a black jersey with a small repair and a small hole on the sleeve. But the player always has his sleeves pushed up

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.

Another good site. 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. I would mainly just do google images search and I tried bing but nothing special. this is really helping

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
