I just got invited by Getty Images to sell photos through my Flickr account.
This is so complicated. Is anyone else doing this or has figured it out? I'm only starting to prepare the images now. I've never really thought of selling images as stock photography, but I definitely have a lot of stuff that I wouldn't mind selling.

It looks like it's a fair deal for the most part, but you have to be selective in which images you give up and which you don't. The good thing is that you still get to show people your images on flickr even if you sell them. But for the images you decide to sell, you cannot sell through a different company (like Corbis, etc.). It's basically an exclusive selling contract with Getty, once you let them sell your photo.
Also, it's cool that even if you sell the images through Getty, you can still sell them at a gallery as long as they are "limited edition prints". Pretty cool.
