Photos.com is not Getty's mid stock offering but a portal, owned by Getty, to purchase framed prints.

Paul: While Photos.com is only selling framed prints, I'm pretty sure the revenue it generates is included in the Midstock category. Getty segments its revenue into four categories: Premium, Midstock, Editorial and Video.

Jim: it's not a licensing revenue, unlike the others. Why would they count it as mid stock ? Or is that your decision ?
