Playing around with Adobe Bridge lured me in to the stock photo. vendor collections.
Now, in fairness, some of the stuff is good, nicely masked, very usable, very well thoughout, prepared, time consuming balanced material. I would glady buy that stuff because it offers some value.
And then there’s the other 90%. Cropped like shit. Crayon like illustrations. Ugly. Bad tones. Guassian masked objects with "fuzz" ensuring I’d just have to remask it. Just pure crap.
Who in their right mind would need a 4500×4500 $419 clipart illustration of a Mexican in sunglasses? And what’s up with the grown man in the beenie purposefully looking like a three year old in dire need of a bathroom?
What’s the artist/photographer cut on this? It seems like they’re taking photos of everything. Walking down the street. Look, a stop sign! Snap. Look, a cigarette butt! Snap!
Alright, here’s the valid complaint after the rant. Greed has taken over the good sense of these companies. They would do well to rethink their strategy because I can reach for my Nikon $250 N70 camera and do better. At the very
least, they should siphone off all the crap into some
economy distinction. That way it doesn’t clutter up the 10% of usable material.
