Dreamstime updates royalties

Credit royalties will decrease, soon to be level-based while we have planned two other significant adjustments:

• The royalties awarded via the subscription plans will be increased for superior level files
• The SR-EL recommended prices will be decreased (custom levels will stay the same).

Subscriptions of 3-5th level files will now count as multiple downloads. Cost-savvy buyers will focus more the 1st level images, but popular images will still be accessible to them.

The royalties for the SR-EL license stay at the same level, 50-60% for all contributors. The custom price set by photographer will also remain the same with a maximum of $10,000. The recommended prices will change as above.

The royalty update will be done gradually over the next few months, trying to ensure a good revenue for as many contributors as possible. We expect most of you to continue to experience BMEs. The subscriptions increase and SR-EL update will be launched live in just a few days.

I urge all contributors to strive generating high level files by submitting only the best shots from a single session. While we remain the best paying agency in royalties, being self-selective and shooting better will generate more sales for you at higher royalties values.

As ever before, we will be looking for contributors+buyers’ feedback in the months to come.

We hope you’ll find these changes fair and wish you all a fantastic fall!
