Our Review: 

Review in progress. photodune.net is in beta, produced by envato who have a strong track record in user sourced content sites

Initial thoughts:

Exclusive rates seem very attractive, they are tiered - the more you sell the higher the percentage you earn from 50% up to 70% for sales of more than $75,000 p.a. ($3750 gets you from 50% to 51% and so on). Exclusive photographers are not exclusive in the traditional sense, but all the images they sell my be exclusive to photodune. Exclusives may sell other images elsewhere, this is similar to exclusive images at another agency but your entire photodune portfolio must be exclusive images.

Non exclusive artists earn 33% commission.

Prices: Either credit based or direct payment ($2 extra charge if not using prepaid credits)

Interestingly photodune specify uploading jpeg files as photoshop level 12 (if you do no already save them as level 12).

So far things are looking very promising with some steady sales coming for me, very pleasing results for such a young site. Clearly the backing of a large network of buyers from their site network is baying a dividend
