被Getty Images(GI)收購的SXP宣布2月11日開始關閉一切業務，餘額不滿50美元的供圖者可以通過SXP討論區或電郵提交申請選擇關閉帳戶並提款，只有買圖客戶才可以把Credits轉到IS，或選擇通過GI旗下新成立的網站Thinkstockphoto(TSP)銷售繼續銷售，TSP是一家整合了GI/IS/SXP所有圖片的圖片庫，但和GI一樣不接受攝影師註冊，因大部分IS/SXP的RF圖片都是重複的，而且在TSP裡似乎無法找到SXP的圖片，如果已經註冊了IS的供图者建議還是關閉SXP更好;看來GI收購SXP之後日子並不好過，IS依然是GI的主力旗艦。相比之2009年被Shutterstock收購的BSP還無新的消息，未來幾年弱勢圖片庫被兼併在所難免，地位最穩固的依然是SS/IS/DT/FT。
