DepositPhotos / Uploading Issues with Deposit Photos Only
« on: August 28, 2019, 13:00 »
Hi,

Looking for some advice as to why I am unable to upload to Deposit Photos.  I have been a contributor of this site for a few years and have had no issues using their site uploader to upload my images.  As of August 6, that came to an end.

When I go to the site uploader, I add a .jpg file and click upload.  The upload will start, but then stops at 2% or 3%, sometimes I get to 15%, and then it stops.  After 10 minutes of no progress, I usually cancel it.  One time I started a upload, went for a walk, and returned to a  red dot by the file.

I upload to several other sites, and I have no issues with those uploads.  I don't understand if the problem is on my side or their side.  Technical support from DP has been light.  Not sure if this matters, but since Aug. 6th I have done the Version 10 update to my PC Windows.  But if that was the problem, I would assume I would have trouble on all my sites when uploading.

Really stumped and getting no where.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Trish

General Stock Discussion / Sell the Rights
« on: June 06, 2018, 12:13 »
Hi
A friend of mine wants to buy the rights to one of my photos.  I am on several stock sites but the one he wants to buy is not on any of the sites, but the photo is similar.  For example, if I have several images of Cabo San Lucas, and the one he wants is of the same place, same location, but not exact, am I violating any agreements with the agencies (assuming most contracts are the same).

Any suggestions,
Thanks,
Trish

Pond5 / Pond 5 Distribution Preferences
« on: November 24, 2014, 19:46 »
Hi,
I have a small portfolio in Pond 5, with no sales to date.  The waiting time for image reviews seems to get longer and longer.  Right now I believe my images are just on Pond 5, but I'm curious what others think of the other preferences?  Is it worth checking the box so that sales can happen on Pixmac (never heard of it), and the other option "via other websites" sounds very vague.  What sites does that exactly mean?  Anyone with a history and good sales experience have any ideas?

Happy Thanksgiving.

Pond5 / Ways they review
« on: August 08, 2014, 14:26 »
Hi
I'm new to Pond5, and I'm just curious about their review practices.  When they review a batch of images, do they just review ONE image and if it doesn't meet their standards they reject ALL those in the batch (like Alamy), or does each individual image get a review?

Thanks,
Ruth

Pond5 / Basic Editing in Pond5
« on: August 02, 2014, 08:28 »
Hi,
I'm brand new to Pond5, and I've spent some time roaming around the site but I need some help and was hoping I could get some answers from the experts!

I uploaded some photos and now they require editing. As I look at the Editing page, my first Q pertains to Options: Apply Template. What is that all about? Can someone give me a link that would explain in more detail what this is all about?

Next, price - if I set a price by me, can it be changed later, either higher or lower?

Next, "Add to Collections"....are these collections similar to Lightboxes theory that the photographer creates?

And finally, I keep reading about creating a thumbnail, not sure what that is all about and why...again is there a link that would give more information on what that is all about?


Many thanks,
Ruth

Hi
When you get a rejection from Shutterstock for "lighting problems", what is the first thing you typically do to correct it?

iStockPhoto.com / Finding Last Download
« on: July 28, 2013, 09:44 »
Hi
Sometimes I'll see a big jump in my account but I can't seem to find out what image sold and for how much.  Even when I click "last download" I can't seem to find what sold for the amount reflecting my balance.  Is there a place to go to find your last image sold and the amount it sold for ?

Thanks
Ruth

Hi
I've searched the site but can't seem to find information on how to organize a contributor's portfolio into Lightboxes.  Can you do this and can someone supply a link to how I can get more information?

Thanks

General Stock Discussion / Tax Center Question
« on: December 10, 2012, 16:03 »
Hi
Why do some stock agencies ask Contributors to fill out a W-9 form (before they will do any payouts) and others do not require it at all, and I'm speaking strictly to those agencies in the US?

Just curious,
Ruth

Hi
Can I take pictures of a golf course that is considered "Private" and submit them as RF stock if I don't mention the name or location of the golf course in title, description or keywords? 

Thanks
Ruth

123RF / For those experienced 123RF Contributors
« on: December 09, 2012, 12:45 »
Hi
I'm new to 123RF, and I'm trying to figure out the best workflow to edit then submit new uploads.  I use Filezilla to upload.  What is the best workflow once the images have been received by 123RF (right now I'm getting a little confused between clicking on the
 "For Photographers/Upload"  and "For Photographers/History" link at the bottom of the page? 

Thanks
Ruth

123RF / Upload Problems
« on: December 07, 2012, 10:48 »
Hi
Yesterday, about 3:30p, I uploaded 4 Editorial images to 123RF using Filezilla.  According to 123RF's instructions, to upload Editorials you need to create a separate "directory" titled Editorial.  I did that by creating a folder within 123RF's folder and uploaded with no errors.  Now I can't seem to find the images on my account.
 How long does it usually take for the images to appear (I know there is usually a delay)?  Also, what is the best way to see the images, make any additions/corrections to keywords, etc, before submitting?  Is it best to go to the "History" link or the "Upload" link at the bottom of the page?

New here and expressing many thanks,
Ruth

123RF / How do you know if you're "In"?
« on: December 06, 2012, 13:31 »
Hi
I recently uploaded some images to 123RF for "review" as I am requesting to become a Contributor there.  I just checked my account and of the 13 images I uploaded, 9 were Accepted.  The 4 that were rejected have been approved for Editorial.  I also uploaded 1 Editorial and it's status is "pending".  How and when do I know if I  have met their criteria?  Some of the other agencies send you an email with a thumbs up, or down.  Not sure how long to wait?

Thanks,
Ruth

What does this mean?  And what do you enter into the little white box?

DepositPhotos / DepositPhotos Requirements
« on: November 30, 2012, 15:54 »
Hi
To upload images for review at DepositPhoto they require a color profile of "RGB Color Space".  Just to clarify, is that sRGB or Adobe RGB?

Thanks
Ruth
