Select by usability
Choose photos that clearly explain a location and leave enough room for cropping, text and different aspect ratios.
Check for one hundred percent
View each candidate in full size.
Sharpness on the main subject.
No motion blur or noticeable noise.
No exhausted air or clogged shade.
No sensor spots, propellers or reflections.
RAW/DNG and the sales file
DNG contains raw sensor data and a lot of editing space. Browsers don't show this reliably, so a JPEG or WebP preview makes it visible. Clearly state which files the buyer will receive.
Post-processing of course
Correct horizon, white balance, contrast and crop in moderation. The image must remain credible and allow further editing.
Metadata and rights
Check place names and visible objects. Carefully assess recognizable people, license plates and sensitive locations.
Frequently asked questions
Short and clear
Does the buyer also receive the preview with a DNG?
No. The buyer will receive the original DNG/RAW file. The derived JPEG or WebP image is used for browser preview only and is not included as an additional download.
How many megapixels are needed?
Effective sharpness and usable resolution are more important than just the number on the camera.
Can I use HDR?
Subtle exposure mixing is possible, but avoid unnatural halos, color and contrast.
Only submit your strongest photos.
Then check title, location and description.
