How much are the pictures?
2020 imagery is $50 per image.
2018 or older is $5 per image.

In what resolution and format are the photos?
The oblique photos are 12-megapixel JPEGs.
The vertical photos are 20-megapixel JPEGs.

​What if my property is not centered in the photo?
The oblique photos start out at 12 megapixels of resolution.
This is enough resolution to crop in significantly and obtain
a decent quality image.  If your property is off-center in the photo,
follow this procedure to determine if cropping the image would
work for you.  First, form an imaginary rectangle around the
property, with the property centered.  Now estimate the percentage
that rectangle represents of the total area of the photo.
Multiply 12 megapixels by that percentage, and that will be the
resolution of the cropped image.  The question is, will that be
sufficient resolution for your particular application.
Most photos on LoopNet, for example, contain less than one
megapixel of resolution, in a pdf marketing package.

Is it possible to crop and perform other enhancements?
...including adding text and graphics.
Yes.  There is a FREE and easy-to-use software program that
we highly recommend.  It is a free download, and can be found
at the following website: www.FastStone.org.
