Fotolia introduces new XS and XXXL licenses

Fotolia has announced the introduction of two new size licenses to it's comission structure, the XSS (300*400px - 120 000 pixels) and XXXL (4800*6400 - 30,7 MegaPixels).

The XS will sell for 1 credit (the price of an S license until now) so the prices will be reajusted for the other licenses (S, M, L, XL and XXL) by 1 credit increases.

The XXXL is clearly targeted to the new Medium Format users and will sell for 7 credits.

Vectors were also repriced, costing now 7 credits instead of 5.

This is good news to contributors, as it's basically a price increase across the board for regular sizes.

After Dreamstime, iStockPhoto and now Fotolia, let's hope ShutterStock will follow the trend and announce new comissions soon. The subscription model is more limited in options than the credit structures, but something will have to be done soon.
