This shits funny.. I've been in the content biz for 3 years now and this is just fucking FUNNY. ok heres the thing. for YEARS I've gotten $1 an image to retouch / color correct / crop to specifications. thats because either the provider was selling the images for $2+ or many times for around $.80. this was fine, and I made good money. Then a CERTAIN COMPANY comes along and starts selling images for DIRT CHEAP.. I mean like HALF of what other people were.. now other people had done it before and thats fine, but they REALLY put the money behind it... so I went to work for THEM. Well I found out its not easy to make a living with a company that requires that you retouch all skin features to the point that the girls appear to have latex skin. it took me 20 minutes to retouch each image netting me $3 an hour for hard work on some of the more challenging sets. Then I found a new company that has kept up the retouching and color correcting standards. They are having a hell of a time because they are putting in $3.00 worth of color correcting / retouching / resizing to customer standards etc, yet have been forced to sell as cheap as the guys who dont! This blows big shit, because they dont have the advertising that other people have, but they have a better product. The whole content biz is SHOT. I went from making about $7k a month to about 2k. all because of a CERTAIN COMPANY that I think most of you know.

MAN I've been holding on to that rant for a while
