(Submission Guidelines for Photographers) Our general photo needs include anything and everything. We accept photos for review from anyone and everyone. Painet is stock photo agency that works mainly with advertising agencies, book publishers, photo researchers and graphic designers. We take a standard 40% agency commission and pay our photographers 60%, daily. You may view the individual contract and the agency contract by clicking the links to the left. Print out, complete and fax (701-947-5933) or mail (Painet Inc; PO Box 431; New Rockford ND 58356) a copy of the contract when sending your first submission. File types TIFF files preferred. High Quality JPEGs, PSD. or RAW files from camera are acceptable if they open to 24 MB or more in Photoshop. All compressed files must have a compression ratio of 12:1 or less. File size 24 MB minimum (when opened in Photoshop). We strongly recommend that digital camera images are captured on a digital camera capable of producing files of 24MB and upwards. If compression is used (e.g. JPEG), we require a compression ration of 12:1 or less. For example, an image file which opens to 60MB in Photoshop must appear as 5MB or more on our hard-drive (12:1 comptression ratio). Note: Painet no longer accepts Low Res Images. Commissions Rates to photographers are 60%. Keywording, Model Release, Name, email address & mailing address We prefer you put your keywording, full Name, email address and mailing address information in the IPTC headers (File Info). Painet exports all IPTC fields. If you FTP the images be sure to include your full name and email address in one of the IPTC data fields. If you want to avoid our having to email you for your mailing address when you have a sale, include your mailing address in one of the IPTC fields. An alternative is to email us an Excel spreadsheet or Word Document. Note: If you put your photographers code (including the underscore) in front of your image names, you only have to provide your contact information (name, email, mailing address) on the first submission. Once we have this information, you can leave it out on future submissions. If you do NOT use your code in front of your image names, the contact information must be supplied in the IPTC area. If you send your images on CD or DVD, it is not necessary to use your code in front of the image names...we will do it for you. Photographer Codes Painet no longer requires your code preceeding the Image ID, provided you provide us full contact information in the IPTC data fields or by email, as explained above.
