Thanks Rusty for your offer, but I only go to Dublin occasionally and I’m unlikely to be there before the new year andf I would like to move the lighting on quickly. In view of this I’ll take up Kens offer (and contact you by PM).
The old price that I have here for a repro licence for that usage is between $922 and $1330 depending on the printrun. You need a bit of neck to ask for these amounts, but if they are used to dealing with stock agencies they won’t be too surprised, but do bare in mind that the agencies would normally retain 50% commission so you can always drop the price by half…
Whether you get the sales depends upon how unique the image is, but better to start high and drop your prices.
You can always take a lttle more off if they guarantee the credit line for your website.
Wacom tablets are great – I’ve been using one since Photoshop7 – which seems aeons ago!
I would suggest the A6 or A5 size because you can make your changes with a minimum of movement. As I understand from an artist friend, the larger sizes like A4 are mostly used by illustrators.
Any one wanting to buy Elements 5 should take a look at Amazon.co.uk. Presently it’s going for as cheap as ?23.00 about ?33.00 plus about ?5.00 for P&P. I managed to get an even cheaper version for workshop students to use, it didn’t come with the packaging or manual, but unlike the CS3 help, Adobe have manged to make the Elements help very user friendly.
to everybody for the warm welcome, I’m delighted to be here.
I will try to check out most of the different topics and if I can help folks with any queries then I’ll be very pleased to do so. Pick away at the old grey cells, although I should mention that I’ll be out shooting, more than in staring at the PC, during the next six weeks, so I may be a little late replying – but I will reply.
In the meantime it’s unlikely that I will have time to post any images as such, but I have posted my new website in the “photographers website” forum so there are images there for fellow members to look at – and more via the Alamy link…and a few hundred edited, but not Photo-shopped, images for processing when the weather closes in.
