How do you edit or add more keywords once accepted ?

I only "synced" to adobe because I was forced to. I liked the fotolia interface much better.

For instance, how do you search and delete an old file to replace ?

As much as I like the better sales at Adobe I really can't get on with the new contributor account design. I don't like the logical layout and everything is very difficult to find. I also have no way of searching my images to make sure I am not uploading duplicates.

Anyone else finding the same issues ? Its really awful to navigate. I much prefer the old Fotolia site layout.

Another predictable shat capped pathetic total of 0.72. Sooooo sooo preductable, depressingly sad. I agree about FT overtaking SS.

Its crap. In my image manager if I choose to display my images in order of sales it still gives me my most recent. Useless garbage of a system.

Bye bye SS sales. Thanks for trashing my income by letting in all the junk from people who can just about operate a shutter, let alone compose an image. Thanks for making a mockery of all the people who have worked hard at composing, editing and earning the right to be accepted for years into the catalogue. Thank you for making an utter pig's ear of the whole site, your poor security allowing easy theft of images.

Thank you so much for nothing. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Utter utter garbage. November started as abysmal as ever. The whole site has become a compromised bin. Depressing.

Can stock - Can't sell. They should have used that title. Utter garbage.

11
Yes it was a typo. Im angry and getting more bitter but not quite at that level of stooping just yet.


12
Yep, they have screwed up my income there in the last 5 months to almost a flatline. An absolute bunch of neandrathols in shirts with no clue about photography.

13
And still the doors are wide open for inexperienced amateur tripe to flood the place, and they have the audacity to whine in the forums asking why their 20 images havent sold
Is 20 images "flooding the place"?
If they ask for advice when they only have 20 images, and if they take the advice, they could go on to do well. We all had to start somewhere. (That's a general observation, not specific to SS)

Of course, we all did BUT my problem is with SS suddenly lowering the bar. Its like letting peo0le enter university that didnt pass their exams. And add all those small ports together and we have millions of images.  A few years ago they had standards and it took me about 3 or 4 attempts to get n with my best images.

14
Still utterly tragic. A huge over a cliff fall off since April that never recover3d, only October is MUCH WORSE than September so far.

And still the doors are wide open for inexperienced amateur tripe to flood the place, and they have the audacity to whine in the forums asking why their 20 images havent sold

DEPRESSING.

15
Again, the exact amount of sales and revenue again. Patheticly predictable and restricting. I loath what SS has become.

16
Well its controlled, manipulated despite how good or how many images uploaded. No day allowed to earn more than $1.44. It's an absolute sham.

17
I'm in a sinkhole. Absolute garbage. R.I.P SS.

Because our exposure is controlled, changing on the 15th of every month without fail.

Still utterly tragic. Ss have fallen well below fotolia now.

Whoever messed up the SS site wants horsewhipping. More chance of getting wool off a tortoise than any income at the moment. DEPRESSINGLY BAD!!!!!

Terrible, abysmal etc etc etc. Ss is run by Muppets.

Better work harsmarter like the expert in the forums. Who is Barry btw ?


I dont know if true or not so dont quote me on it!  but I personally know somebody who worked there since the very start ( not now though) well something drastic must have happened because they have got rid of all people associated with oringer?? and replaced them with a cheap younger Admin team not even getting half the wages as the prior! hence no experience what so ever!...true or not?
This could explain a lot!  some years back Getty had Internal politics problems and for a couple of years nothing worked as it should everything went downhill. They finally got new staff admin etc and slowly things got back to normal, only seems the damage was done they lost some really famous photographers and buyers. I dont think many here remember that since it was around 2010.

Trouble is once this starts within a corp it might hold for a year or two but sooner or later the downhill starts it might not have an effect on sales in the beginning its enough with bad investments etc, etc!

Look at IStock some years back it was enough that loads of members complained giving a terrible picture in public forums and the word went around! and Istock nearly crashed!

And looking at the work, nothing special to brag about in my opinion.

RIP to microstock photography I say reluctantly. The millennials expect everything free on a plate.
