PRIVATE VIEW STOCK PICTURES

When you want to buy or sell pictures photo-direct.net is the place. A Photographer or a Model may want to set aside some stock pictures that are viewable only by guests with a valid password (Private View). photo-direct.net supports this feature. A Photographer or a Model may have multiple sets of Private View pictures, each set secured with its own password.

Photo-direct.net takes the pain out of selling your work!

If you put a stock picture in the Private View category, it means that that picture will only be accessible by visitors with the a valid password.

When viewing a Private View Stock Picture or a Private View Model picture the visitor can post a comment , which is available for other members (with the required password) to read , and rate it between 1 and 5. The number entered will be used to compute the new Rating Average score of the Private View Stock Picture or Private View Model Picture. Only the owners can see the Rating Average score of their Private View pictures.

As a member, you can put viewed Private View stock pictures into your personal Private View Stock Pictures Folder for future reference. You can also put viewed Private View model pictures into your personal Private View Model Pictures Folder.

photo-direct.net also keeps statistics on how many times each Private View picture has been selected, viewed (displayed on a separate window in a higher 600x600-pixel resolution) and put in visitor Private View Stock or Model Pictures Folders.

photo-direct.net's database supports four groups of pictures:

1) Public View stock pictures

2) Breaking News stock pictures

3) Private View (password required)

4) Personal View (viewable only by the photo owner)

Each one of these categories of stock pictures has many data fields that are searchable, which makes finding stock pictures a breeze. This is like having your stock pictures stored in the photo bank of a stock picture library, only here it is much quicker and easier for photo buyers looking to buy stock pictures to find the "just right" stock pictures they want, which will increase the photographer's chances of selling stock pictures .

Before uploading your stock pictures to our site, you need to know the following:

1) Ensure that your stock pictures are in a JPEG or GIF file format with a MAXIMUM resolution of 600x600 pixels (any file larger than the prescribed maximum will be rejected by the system). Our system will then automatically generate a 200x200 pixels thumbnail stock picture for listing in search results. When the user clicks on the thumbnail stock picture, your original 600x600-pixel stock picture will be displayed in a separate pop-up window.

2) We accept horizontally as well as vertically-oriented pictures.

3) As a deterrent to any unauthorized use of your stock pictures, photo-direct.net has disabled the SAVE function when right-clicking on the mouse, and when your stock picture is displayed in the pop-up window, we also prevent people from saving your stock picture.

When a photo buyer is interested in buying a stock picture, he will contact the owner of the stock picture directly by either e-mail, phone or fax. photo-direct.net does not take any commission on your sales, nor do we get involved in your negotiations with photo buyers.
