At first, I was pinching myself, thinking, "It's not April Fool's yet, is it?"

When they give us the ability to download in Hi Res then it will be a breakthrough and I doubt that will happen.
As far as I know MLB still has the rights to any MLB photo on Getty and its expensive to legally obtain the Hi Res photos. I know this since I buy several a year and found out last year how expensive it was to do an exclusive photo.

Re: Getty Images are now free
A good start indeed.
That said, let me know if you can help with a high-res of a specific image I am looking for.
Thanks!

Re: Getty Images are now free
This is all great but I wish this applied to images that were currently on the site as well.

Re: Getty Images are now free
I can understand not releasing the "hi-res" library for multiple reasons, but I don't quite grasp what they did. So the images on site still have the ridiculous watermark, but if someone pays for the image... it still won't have the watermark? I'm pretty much lost on this. The only thing I got from it was that Getty won't sue eBay folks who use their images anymore.

Re: Getty Images are now free
OK, I just tried the easy Tweet feature with my son on his Twitter and the darn Getty watermark is still on there!
Yes, it made it easy but it didn't work like the example of the Angelina Jolie pic in their example.
Maybe just a glitch but this is what it did on this Bryce Harper pic:
