to-ps image library, started life as terryodee-photostock, a means for me, terryodee, to allow people to buy my non-commissioned work as a simple download on a royalty free basis. Then a friend of mine, also a visual artist, asked if they could put some work up, which initially involved me having to prepare and load their files, a very intensive and time consuming process.
To reduce the extra work-load, I acquired some software that allowed them to access the site direct and separated out the sales so that a proper record was kept, once I had done that, it seemed just as easy to allow others to access the site too.
I started to try running with this idea before I could walk, and attempted to present the site as something it was not, a fully grown image library.
It is not a fully grown creature, it is still an infant, developing and growing, learning and adapting to it’s users needs. Joining the library is free, image uploading is also free and unlimited however, there are guidelines for quality of the image files and any gratuitous violence and pornography is a definite no. I will also take a small commission from any sales you make to help with the running costs of the site.
How it Works
to-ps image library is an image library with pricing adapted for web and print usage file sizes, built on the individual portfolios of the contributing members, which can be viewed via the portfolios link in the left menu column, along with a brief bio and links to each members personal website.
When images are loaded to the library they are placed into categories and sections by the members, ie architecture or conceptual etc in rights managed; royalty free; video or graphics
The portfolios are generated by the system during the free registration but, not publicly viewable until files are loaded and approved; all subsequent image files are added to it automatically as they are approved for inclusion in the library.
All image files are checked for quality prior to inclusion in the library.
Membership and Portfolios are free, the only requirements are file quality; all files added to the library are available for purchase on one of our licenses and the deduction of 30% commission by to-ps image library on all image files sold by and downloaded from, the library.
The purchasing of image files requires a free library membership account. This allows you to buy credits, our in-house currency, and to exchange the credits for image files. We also have available a range of subscription packs and these are also purchased with credits, however, if either the credits packages or subscription packages are inappropriate for your particular needs please do contact us, we are flexible enough to tailor make a credits or subscription account to meet your specific requirements.
All payments are carried out through PayPal to ensure security for your details and an additional level of buyer protection above our own refund policy.
There are several search options available site wide from a basic search through to a specific detailed image file search. Additionally, you can browse the site by category or by portfolio.
