In the past, Flickr was known as a low quality, amateur outlet for uploading and viewing photographs. Think of it as the "YouTube of Stills." However, just as YouTube has evolved, so has Flickr. Not only does it offer great features such as multiple resolution images, and tag search, but you now have the ability to license your image through Getty Images! They call it the “Request to License” program, and the option will automatically become available if you have an account. You will notice it under the "Additional Information" heading.
Once you sign up for the program, an additional link will be made viewable to visitors. When someone wants to license the image, they simply click the link, and Getty Images takes care of the rest! When the process is complete, you receive an email, or "FlickrMail," in which you decide if you agree to the terms and want to go through with the license. Yes, it IS that simple!
To leave feedback on this new program, or to get more information, head over to the Flickr forums.
