Photoxpress has 3 photos from my closed Fotolia account. (As I understand it, Fotolia feeds Photoxpress.)

I never donated them, or ANY Fotolia files, to Fotolia's free site/section. Until now, I thought 2 out of 3 of them were no longer available on any site!

I have screen shots of all 3 photos showing up for sale on photoxpress.

Is getting Fotolia to take them off the best I can aim for?

� Thinkstock   where the contributor is literally out of the picture

dealbreaker #1: The contributor is never identified anywhere on images distributed by Thinkstock, including on the site. 

Last night around 30 or 40 Alamy photography contributors met James West, the extraordinarily engaging CEO of Alamy at their DUMBO office, an area of Brooklyn a short subway ride away from Manhattan.

He and several employees shared useful and interesting information about Alamy's past, present, and plans for future. Of course, nothing was off-the-record, though some plans were just alluded to, for reasons of commonsense business timing. And at least one fellow contributor I chatted with has a port not much larger than mine. (BTW, as far as I recall, this is the first I've happened to post about Alamy here since I knew about the meeting.)

I respect Alamy even more than before, and it looks like it will be first stock agency I do specific blog post about, which is one more agency than I expected. Once it's up, I'll post link to it.

I just switched from PC to Mac, and had to calibrate LaCie 324 monitor.  
(A friend helped me with the calibration the last time, and the settings are on disconnected, nearly dead PC.)

Do below calibration settings sound right? They are ones suggested by my Blue Eye Pro:

Gamma:  2.2
White point: 6500K
Luminance: 120 cd/m2
Black point: 00 cd/m2

I need a recommendation of place that will professionally print a photo at least 20"x16" on decent weight paper and using good color management (or, perhaps safer, one that I can get print out of photo to, so they can match it). 

It could be  either an on-line store or brick-and-mortar one in New York metropolitan or Long Island area.

If I want to avoid having to mail the framed photo, I need it all done by 12/29, so I really got myself in a fix.     
But if you see this after then, have a place to recommend, and I haven't posted that I'm set , I'd appreciate it if you'd post the info.

I tried adoramapix, because of some rec's and its prices, and it was fine for my earthtone and B&W photos.  But when it came to printing photo including bright, colorful flowers, the colors were flat, dull  -  which is not how they look at several agencies, or when printed by my printer, or printed at store that, sadly, uses flimsy paper  - and I tried it with "print as is" and "enhance" and got exact same result.

thank you - ann

I submitted a particular (my best-seller) image to Stockxpert, and it was rejected for no Property Release, so I got and uploaded Property Release, and sent Support notification, including ID number of the rejected image.

No response for several days, so I also posted question in their "Technical Ques."   No response. So, I figured maybe I should post it in Newbie section, but now I can't even find way to submit a new post anywhere on any forum.

If anyone's been in similar situation of rejection for a Release that you could then submit once you knew they wanted it:  HOW DID YOU HANDLE IT:

Would it be best to simply be more patient and wait for them to get around to my communications? 

Or, is it standard procedure for contributor to delete a file rejected for no PR, and then resubmit, attaching the PR to to it right then?

Thank you.  smiles - Ann

Stockxpert accepted my website for their affiliation program a while back, but I could never make a banner or live link work on my site.

Now I'm even more confused.  Am I supposed to create a jupiterimages affiliation for Stockxpert affiliation?

I feel I must be misunderstanding something, since setting up the affiliation banners/links for the other stock sites was easy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.   smiles - Ann (aka parrypix)

Does anyone know if Geckostock is merely temporarily off-line or gone?  I can't even get to the site, and, based on reply on another Geckostock topic, I'm not the only one.
