Hi,

Later this year I intend to publish and sell royalty free, a large number of 'Stock' photo's on DVD.

Any tips or ideas about presentation, level of details, size, the market place, selling price, or any how and what's best, would be appreciated.

I have Photoshop Elements 4 and Dreamweaver available to me on a PM G5 Quad.

TIA

K.

Just dump the highest quality images you have onto a DVD. Include RAW and JPEG if you have them. Provide rich standards-complaint meta-data with every image.
Let the customer use their prefered software (iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Digital Image Suite, etc) to view/sort/use them.

If you want to, I would post three sizes of the images. Web friendly, small print ready and full size (raw optional).

Also, give details about all the images including location, object, etc. etc.

As a subscriber to GettyImages, the best way to go about doing this is to allocate one category per disc.

If they are stock, RF images, you will need them to be quite large and available in an as-close-to-lossless format. The BEST format for this is TIFF.

Say you have 3 categories: wildlife, floral life, and cityscapes, you should have 3 discs.

Number the files (i.e. 00001.tif through 00453.tif) and put them in one folder under the root location. DWildlife\(files here)

Do this for each disc and you should be fine. REMEMBER! Burn your disc using UDF so both Mac and PC users can access the files.
