In an effort to secure its position as the number two stock image provider Corbis has taken steps to ensure it does not lose customers looking for RF images. Corbis has acquired Image100 giving Corbis 40,000 wholly-owned images (uhhh...Subscription...Gesundheit) from one of their most successful contributors. Corbis also announced the launch of rfSHOP (http://www.corbis.comrf) where customers can find RF images from Corbis along with new content from Jupiter Images, MedioImages, and Blend Images. One question is whether Corbis will pull the Image100 images from Getty. Also, there has been speculation that Getty may stop representing the PictureArts images now that it is owned by Jupiter. Stay tuned in the coming months to see whether Getty Images, Corbis, and Jupiter Images learn to work together as partners or battle with each other for exclusive content. (The saga continues…)
