Generally Photodune is strictly for photographs, while GraphicRiver is for editable design assets and templates. Still, for particular types of images and non-standard photos it can sometimes be tricky to decide where to upload.
As a rule of thumb, before submitting an image to PhotoDune always ask yourself:
|
|
|
If you answer yes to most/all of the above, you may submit the image to PhotoDune. |
|
If you answer yes to any of the above, you should submit it in its original editable format as a vector or layered graphics template to GraphicRiver. |
Textures
For photographs intended primarily for use as textures/patterns, we recommend that you submit these to the textures category on GraphicRiver as an individual texture or texture pack.
For example textures of wood, paper, fabric, etc., where one or more of the following apply:
- The image is shot with a flat-on, more 2-dimensional perspective
- The pattern/object is relatively uniform and fills the entire image
- The image is seamlessly tileable
