dartlrt Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I have read some of the messages about pricing your work. They have been very informative. I have been looking for some software that will aid me in determining some price and will help track my work. I have only come across two programs so far, FOTOQUOTE and one by a company called Hindsight. Can anyone give me advise about any software programs they are using. Thanks!Philip Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I have both and I use <A href = http://www.hindsightltd.com/products/ PriceGuide.html> the Hindsight Photo Price Guide 2</a> as my primary pricing / usage guide. realizethat any of these numbers recommended by any price guide are not "set in stone" but the HPPG2 goes a long way towards getting in to the right ballpark (to mix metaphors). The negotiation & pricing rationale in both programs is very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_brennan Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I'm a Fotoquote guy. I wasn't aware there was a Hindsight pricing program, so maybe I'll check it out, too. But Fotoquote has worked great for me over the years, and is very educational just reading the info and working the calculations. Most of my commercial photographer peers use it, as well as some stock agencies and ad agencies I know. A less expensive option that a lot of photographers use is Jim Pickerell's (sp?) book called Pricing Stock Photography, or something like that. These resources are extremely valuable for putting in perspective what your pictures are worth for commercial use. Dave Brennan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmi Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 If you are looking to manage a stock photography business, then check out Agave: http://www.prenticephoto.com/Agaveweb.htm Randy Prentice, author of this software, is also working on a photo pricing module that will be included in the next version--I believe. http://www.prenticephoto.com/AgaveMon.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew_weinreb Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 I use both and am happiest with the Hindsight product - available at www.hindsightltd.com I think + the Hindsight product will be Mac OSX native v. soon (and none too soon!!!)

cameron_davidson Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 FotoQuote 5.0 (a new release) is killer! Works straight out of the box on OS X and does not require an upgrade from 9.0 Sister program to FotoBiz. Cradoc Bagshaw wrote both of these programs along with the not-forgotten, Cradoc Caption Writer. The new version of FotoBiz will incorporate FotoQuote 5.0 (look for it this summer) The Hindsight program is also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
