Just a quick heads up that tommorow (May 30) is a national public holiday in the UK (Late Spring Holiday/Whitsun). Lots of people will be having a long weekend and/or extending into the week, so anyone who gets a lot of UK sales can expect a slow day or two. Sorry, don't shoot the messenger  Regards, David.

Excuse me for starting a new thread -but I think this is pretty major news that has got somewhat lost in the thread here http://www.microstockgroup.com/index.php?topic=27342.0Around post 10, James from Alamy dropped the news. With the forthcoming new contributor tools at Alamy you will now be able to choose a new RF Editorial category. Why is this important? Well it means that those of us that concentrate on editorial images on microstock (which are RF) will now be able to upload the same or similar images to Alamy - exposing our work to a whole new set of buyers. For anyone not clear about the current situation -editorials on Alamy have to be under a RM (Rights Managed) license and they do not allow you to upload images that are available under a RF license elsewhere. With the new RF Editorial category you will no longer have to make that either (Alamy) or (Microstock) decision. Of course, I understand that many contributors may wish to continue to keep their portfolios distinctive on both -which you can. For contributors like me who have their editorial ports as RF on microstock (and, therefore, currently excluded from Alamy editorial) this is great news!

Probaly just a bug but I just uploaded an editorial image and got a tick box inviting me to nominate it to the Signature+ collection. I haven't seen anything here or on the Istock forum about this -so did I miss something? I ticked the box anyway, just to see what would happen really  Anyone else know more about this? Regards, David.

Interesting to see Chris's petro/chemical industry portfolio as current featured photographer. Not sure that he is here at the moment (under any of his names) but congratulations anyway! Regards, David.

Just went to check out their forum and found it gone. They have replaced it with a message saying it is removed (for now) and a feedback form on if/how we want to communicate with fellow contributors including options like: Bigstock forum, Facebook page, MSG etc. Ironically, I only went there because I thought I really should take a look more frequently. That, of course, was the problem -so little going on that it didn't encourage you to rush back in case you missed something interesting. Bit sad really, I might not have visited often but I liked the idea of it being there. That's the fourth (of the sites I'm on) forum to go - Picturenation, Yaymicro, 123RF went earlier. Facebook pages and Twitter do not have the same feel for me, though I'm on both. Maybe if enough people express an interest on the form they will bring it back. Anyone here going to miss it? Regards, David.

You know how it is - the excitement, the anticipation, the waiting and then finally the big night comes, only for it all to be over in less than a minute. No, not a comment on my personal life but this (probaly) the worlds shortest ever firework display. Enjoy!

Anyone know anything about this new Scandinavian stock site www.wedostock.com? They pay 50% commission but I had a job pinning down what this would actually be. They take Editorial images and are currently inviting Microstocks "finest" to apply (with some samples or a web link). The name doesn't exactly trip off the tongue but at least it makes clear what they do  Regards, David.

Anyone else tried to get on to Yay tonight (UK time)? Tried for the last three hours but cannot get on. Just a slow load followed by the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message. Hopefully just a problem with my ISP, and would be happy to hear the rest of you can access ok! All other sites loading fine BTW. Regards, David. www.shootingstock.blogspot.com

Anyone else had a rejection with the simple message "not stock material, no commercial potential"? New one on me! Their home page states that they post virtually all images providing they pass technical and legal requirements. The pictures of a child cutting out pastry on a kitchen worktop is online with two other libraries and would illustrate a whole range of things to do with children/play/development/education etc. I do not question SV's right to accept or reject any image they choose (it is their library!), just surprised at the reason. 32 years of working with stock images made me feel it had stock potential!
