my thoughts for those in pore paying markets, there's a lot of potential for them to earn more than the local market pays for those in high paying markets, there's a potential for keen amatuers to undercut .
I don't think it will impact working pros much at all. They have access where most people posting to Flickr won't. The types of photos being sold to Getty now by the pros is a different market than what your going to find on Flickr.
You won't find the hard news photos or the sports photos there. What Flickr is going to provide are those other stock photos that the pros are not shooting, such as photos from a national park or maybe an arty nightscape over a major city.
I just hope that the rates for Flickr photos are comparable to the regular Getty rates for the pros.
