General Stock Discussion / picworkflow not working on depositphotos for some time...

« on: December 09, 2019, 02:00 »

Hi,
I'm submitting to depositphotos via service called picworkflow
and for the last couple of weeks/month, there is timeout error and the files are not proceeding.

Any ideas on how to solve it? Doubled checked the user name and password and that was not the source of the problem.

Anyone else?

General Stock Discussion / Callout to Matt and other stock sites - Solution for Videoblock market disaster

« on: September 10, 2019, 04:21 »

There is one way to stop Videoblocks race to the bottom.

I think if websites would put an ultimatum to creators: If your giving your stuff away on VB
you cannot work with us!

If most contributors won't be there they will either sell a smaller collection or have to change policy.

« on: July 24, 2014, 02:02 »

I have a small port of photographs,
