| I think you can, unless the site has an exclusivity clause in their contract with you. I think Shutterstock has a premium agreement where you get paid more, but they also get exclusive rights. Don't know about the others. |

No, Shutterstock
is the only one without exclusivity agreements; you can go completely exclusive at iStockphoto, dreamstime and fotolia. Fotolia and dreamstime also offer exclusivity agreements for selected files.
For me it is best not to go exclusive, I usually put the same files on all of these, but I don't put identical files on Alamy; I think it is not fair to offer images to Alamy customers for hundreds of $, when they can get the same file for less than 1$ at shutterstock.
Some of my files are exclusive at fotolia, though, especially files with specific content (such as german language on signs). |

If you submit the same file to Alamy and other micro stock agencies. Make sure that the images have the RF license model at Alamy.

| I would not post the same images at micro sites and RM sites like Alamy or Getty at all. A "similar" image would be OK, but I'd make sure the micro submission was at the minimum submission size (usually 2-4MP -- P&S OK); a submission to Alamy usually has to be upsampled, even from today's 10-12MP dSLR cameras ... |

Alamy also has the RF license model and also has the "Nobel Use" price.

If you submit the same image to a "micro" site and to Alamy you must use Alamy's Royalty-Free licensing model, which is substantially the same as at a micro site. They cannot offer a Rights-Managed license if the same image is available royalty-free at another source.
Your best bet is to never upload identical images to micro and macro sites. |
