no images there for me.

There are so many new companies it is hard to keep up.

not sure I will upload there, unless I hear some impressive things.

yep, me too. about the same. 7 sales in 2 weeks with 48 images. so to me they're great because at dreamstime i've had 1 sale in 13 weeks.

upload's easy as ftp. i do mine from my hosting co. so 48 images travels in about 20 seconds. payment's 30% of $1, $5 or the $39 extended rights.

Have you read the Photographer Agreement?

"It is agreed that all rights, including title and copyright, in and to the uploaded Data Files is retained by the Supplier, and that no title or copyright transfers or is granted to CanStockPhoto or any third party."

Oops!  I think someone stole a text!

PS: I have emailed them and it bouced back:

Thanks for finding this.  I have no more interest in the site.

and I suppose they would try and reject photos for copyright infringment

i'm often on dial-up so i upload once via ftp to my host and send out to all the sites from there. my process is somewhat as follows:

1. add iptc info locally

2. upload to host

3. connect to host via telnet or ssh

4. run a single script file to submit to all sites that accept ftp

5. for the ftp challanged sites i use w3m, a text based browser running on the host, to submit to each

6. exit telnet

7. and finally, assign categories at each site

i do all this from a telnet session however it would be a fairly simple mattter to develop something in php that would provide a web based interface for the ftp side of the process.

hope this helps

because the speed between datacentres will always be quicker than the speed between your home / small office and a datacentre.

upload *once* at the lower speed to the host, then run a script to transfer to 10 sites in rapid sequence (at the rate of about 1 image per second)

i'm often on a dial up so the time and cost savinges for me are consderable,

A week ago I uploaded one only photo to http://galastock.com/referal.php?id=247 and it already sold!!! Excuse me, have to upload the rest of my portfolio to them... In case somebody wants to join, the link is a referral link SY

I've had 25 up there for a couple of days but no sales yet.

The excerpt/reference on madelaide's post is the actual Photographer Agreement of GalaStock which the photographer agrees to when he uploads an image. Notice that the agreement posted on the GalaStock site contain section which refers to CanStockPhoto, which is another stock agency. The agreement seems to be just copied from the other site.

This made some photographers warry about the site.... including me...

Thank You for making it clear.
