Well I just saw many editorial images with A LOT of downloads there. I never really look at before today. I thought it was going to take time before it's get popular. But I saw generic crowd images getting like 30 downloads. Other fashion events with 15 pages on 39 with at least one download. Even my only one got downloaded once.

Does anyone got editorial on Dreamstime or microstock who saw many downloads from this licence category

I have an editorial in my top 7 at DT: chinese sweat shop interior. A mediocre photo but in demand since it seems to be unique. All China travelers seem to focus on the Square of Heavenly Peace and the Bejing Opera  Grin
DT is very strict and peculiar on editorial. I have 60% reject on it for mystical reasons so I stopped uploading editorial there, since it counts for your overall percentage.

Wow! that "sweat shop" is way nicer, cleaner and better lit than where I work here in the states

Yeah true. That's probably why there's not a lot of images. I agree that seeing the acceptance rate going down for editorial is risky. Why in the world, everything is not always beautiful  Sad

Well, the subject of my editorials are not exactly beautiful, but they got accepted. They have a lot of views, but only one sale.





I have many more from this series, but I only upload the pictures where I can crop out most of the faces. I have some of the actual killing, where I've been considering making the people into silhouettes, but letting the whales remain photos. But that's maybe to artsy for stock?

I mistakenly uploaded this with a few others in editorial about a festival in Bali. Most of the others were rejected. This got in, but I should have sent it as an RF as there are no people or trademarks. I've sent it back twice as RF, both times rejected. It has 2 downloads and 229 views. I'm sure it would be downloaded more if it was RF. Never mind, the festival is coming up again soon and i'm still in Bali.

I had a couple of sports personalities sell as editorial ... for a pittance. 
I've also had images rejected as not current then been contacted by a buyer (DT member) seeking that exact image. 
I've had pretty good luck at DT but find their model release and editorial criteria confusing.

gaja , you said "... considering making the people into silhouettes"..
i don't think that's allowed in editorial.  to alter the image.

If the people were silhouettes, it could be RF. Wink

Most micro agencies don't have a clue about editorial. If the photos are not from a defined, current event, they are mostly rejected. But newspapers, magazines etc. need all kinds of photos to illustrate their articles. And obviously, photos that are current today, are not current tomorrow. Still they are up, filling a need for somebody.

I have a few editorial shots at DT (and at other stock agencies), but I mostly upload to those when a usable photo can't be up-rezed to Alamy size. I do sell some now and then, but no big quantities.
