Exclusive with Gettys

Today I received an invitation to be considered exclusive with another stock photo library.

 

Has anyone else gone down this path? and is it a good path to take?

I could be wrong but Getty's Exclusive Rights Photo Collection appears to be similar to Stock's Premium Collection (a rose by another name)  -- also by invitation only.

https://stock.adobe.com/premium

 

I don't see why you can't do both as long as what you submit to Getty's Exclusive Rights collection is totally separate from what you submit to Stock's Standard Collection.

 

If Getty asks you sign anything, read the fine print or ask your lawyer to look at and explain it to you.

Well, you need to see, where your income comes from and what else to consider. But I think that the Adobe Contributor forum is probably the least forum where you can get guidance from people having taken the exclusive Getty path.

Maybe. you are correct, but there maybe some one who has information that might be useful for me.

 

I am kind of stunned by the invitation.

It's interesting and a kind of honour mark. But you will need to ask your question (also) in neutral fora. Or on a different platform. But again, check where your income comes from, look at the Getty exclusive advantages and check if that is profitable, in the forseeable future.

Congratulations!  That's great! 
Is there any guarantees going exclusive with Getty!  Giving up Adobe.Stock? 
I'm interested in seeing what takes place for you.  Keep me posted.  Good luck!
