Why donating your images


posted on 18th of september, 2012
Hi all,

As I'm starting my fifth year here in DT I started getting automated messages from admins regarding old images.
The message indicated that I have an image which is online for 4 years now and have no sales.
DT suggests 3 actions you can take, re-keywording the image, donate it or disable it.

I can truly say that I have some old images that today I wouldn't upload, or maybe change them a bit befire uploading.
It mostly relevant for image processing (which my abilities have drastically improved during those last 4 years) and composition.

My decision was to donate them, and apparently - it pays!! :)
Just 2 hours after donating this image:

I donated a half-dozen images that had no sales after 4 years. Those images, now free, were then downloaded several times. My paid downloads did not increase. Since then I've opted to disable the files.

My preferred option will be "disable". In fact, after donating 6 images, I disabled 2 due to the fact that they had about 250 downloads each...if they want them they better pay...
