Photobanks are great internet archives of different authors’ images. All images in these archives divide to categories and have key words. Thanks to them one can easy find any necessary illustration or photograph. There are people, who sell and who buy such illustrations. Photobank is a messenger and makes lives of them both far easier. You often can see in our articles that microstock and photobank are the same, but it is not quite so. The point is, that we work only with one of kinds of photobanks – micropaintment photobank and microstocks. They differ from other banks, because prices there are very low, but all is repaid by number of selling. Low prices due to license, which limits buyer in usage of bought images. If you send your work to photobank for selling, all writes belong to you. Purchaser gets rightes only on that level, which you choose from presented by photobank. As a rule they limit in edition and ways of usage of images. About all types of that license you can read in details in separate article.
