THIS story almost passed me by but for an email from the European Journalism Centre about a deal between photography giants Getty and Flickr.

According to this report on the BBC the scheme to sell images through Getty's archives will be opened up to the 40 million or so registered Flickr users to opt in.

The move will open up huge opportunity for some, but as always, the Devil will clearly be in the detail.
