Title: Masterfile Launches New $10 Collection
Post by: Robert Krausankas (BuddhaPi) on November 21, 2011, 04:30:19 PM

"The company’s reputation is built on fast personal service and premium quality and has recently been augmented with a collection of 1.5 million “microstock” images priced at $10."

Seems they left out one small detail, but I degress..

I've heard that MF's "Crestock" microstock aquisition hasn't been very fruitful.
Also, MF has a lot of older images in its catalog that might have been "de rigueur" in the late 80's and early 90's, but are passe now.
Take photos meant to be high-tech looking, but with a cd-rom in the picture for example.  Those are shite.

It seems as if MF doesn't expect Arius3d to come through with the investment money.
I'm interested to see what happens.
