The Corbis Images site
Red Dot represents Corbis’ imagery in Hungary and Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Montenegro. Our Cobis section provides our customers from these territories with a spingboard to the Corbis Images website. Clients must register directly on Corbis Images (www.corbisimages.com) or on our Corbis section by clicking at the "Registration" button. Registering and logging in to the Corbis Images site is important, because this way clients will only see images that are available in their territories.

To create a lightbox, click the "My Lightboxes" option at the top of the web page and follow the instructions. You can create more than one lightbox for your various projects.
4.) Downloading an editorial image
To save a high resolution image (without a watermark) to your computer, click the "Download" icon below the thumbnail image and follow the instructions on the download page. You can save the image to your computer or order the high resolution via e-mail to your mailbox.
5.) Downloading and ordering stock images
Please note that images in the stock section can only be downloaded in low resolution (comping image) with a watermark by right clicking on the image. For high-resolution images please contact us.
6.) Problems with downloading using a Mac
If you have problems when downloading images on a Mac, trying clicking the CTRL-key while clicking the downloadlink. This should open a context menu where you should be able to select something like ’save as...’. Depending on the browser that you use, this might differ a bit. When you click the downloadlink without holding the CTRL-key, your browser will download the image to a default folder (usually your desktop). This default folder can be configured in the options or preferences panel of your browser.
Click on the image you would like to view. A preview version of the image will be displayed. Below the preview image you will see the image file name, followed by the caption and special instructions which may contain restrictions on the use of the image. To view a larger preview version of the image, click "See Large Preview".
Further down additional information is displayed including the image credit, file size, resolution, and pixel dimensions. This information may help you determine whether a particular image is suitable for publication at a certain size, or estimate the length of time it takes to download it.
