What is royalty-free?

The difference between traditional rights-protected and royalty-free licenses is a fundamental one. When a product is purchased under a rights-protected license, it usually means for a one-time use and for a single purpose. This can be complicated and restricting. Royalty-free, on the other hand, couldn't be simpler. Once you've purchased a product from Intuitivmedia, what you get is a worldwide lifetime license that allows you to use the product whenever, wherever, however and as many times as you like. No hassle, no worries, just complete design freedom at a fraction of the cost of rights-protected or commissioned images.

On rare occasions our merchant processors may not send the information of your transaction to our system, so your account may not be automatically activated. Therefore, if you have made a purchase of our subscriptions and you are not able to access photos IM Photovision using your details, send a support request we are fast.

What browsers should I use?

We recommend that you use the latest browsers possible. If there is an update available, update it. If there was a new version release, upgrade. Personally, we recommend:
Internet Explorer 6.0+
Safari 1.2+
Mozilla Firefox 1.0+

I'm using Internet Explorer on a Mac and having trouble,why?

Internet Explorer for Mac is no longer being supported OR developed by Microsoft or Apple. It is an old browser that will never be updated or upgraded. This also leaves Mac Internet Explorer users open to many security risks from all over the internet. If you are on OS X, then we HIGHLY recommend using Safari or Firefox. Safari comes with OS X, so check your Applications folder.

If you are on OS 9, then we HIGHLY recommend upgrading your operating system. BUT, if you can not upgrade your operating system, please make sure you are using the latest version of Internet Explorer [Download Here]. OR, you can try downloading Mozilla [Download Here].

I'm using Internet Explorer on a Mac and my downloads come as a ".php" file

After selecting your resolution and clicking on the "download" button, your "File Save As..." dialog box might display as if you are saving "start_file_download.php", but don't worry, that is ok. You can still choose your location, and click "Save". Make sure to NOT rename the file. The file you selected will still download onto your desktop just as normal.

I'm using Internet Explorer on a mac and my .JPG downloads open in a new window

If you click "download" after selecting a JPEG file format, your download may open in a new window. Just click on the JPEG image and drag it to your desktop (or wherever you want), or go to "File>Save As" (without changing the name), and wait for the download to start and finish.

How long does my subscription last

With most subscriptions, your subscription lasts 1-year or 1-Month from when you activate your account. (Image Subscription).

I logged in, but it says my account is inactive?

Our system have not activated your account, contact us for instant activation. Another case in which this might happen, is if your subscription has expired. That is, unless it was disabled for administrative reasons. You can contact us at any time if you have problems.

Do you sell CD's?

Currently we do not sell CD's. We offer image subscriptions or single stock photos at a very affordable price.

How do I download

If you are a subscriber, you must log-in to your account first. You can then click on any thumbnail of any of our files. You will be sent to a page with a large preview of your selection. From there, you should see an area that says "Download". All you have to do is click on the "Download" link. If you are purchasing files without an account, once your billing and credit card information has been processed, you will get an Email with a link to a page with thumbnails of the files you purchased. You will see a "Download" button below each thumbnail.

What is a lightbox?

A lightbox is a place for you to "save" the files you are interested in. It's almost like a virtual file folder on our website. These files aren't saved anywhere onto your machine when they are added to the lightbox. You can then print or share your lightboxes with other people, even if they aren't Intuitivmedia subscribers. To use the lightboy you need to subscribe.
