Shutterstock.com / New Data / Data set Licensing

« on: June 22, 2023, 16:58 »

Anything that mentions 'new and exciting' in the same sentence generally means bad news and less income. This sounds to me like there's going to be shed loads of rejections so that our content can go in the dataset catalogue, so they can pay even less to contributors.
What does everyone else think?

Symbiostock / Is this project dead?

« on: February 25, 2014, 10:50 »

Following on from http://www.microstockgroup.com/index.php?topic=22029.0 I think some urgent clarification is needed as in will critical and security updates be released or is the project completely dead? Best to know now so we can switch to an alternative solution for selling images and not waste our time.

General Stock Discussion / Google Drive - List of stock agencies that have or are giving away images?

« on: February 01, 2013, 08:27 »

Is it just getty/istock that have given away images to google or are other stock agencies involved? If there are any others perhaps there should be a sticky list so that we can avoid them.

DepositPhotos / Has anyone got anything good to say about DP?

« on: January 11, 2013, 07:06 »

I signed up with them a few weeks ago and got accepted but since then I've read lots of bad things about DepositPhotos which has put me off uploading anything, has anyone got anything good to say about them or should I avoid them with a barge pole?

General Stock Discussion / Image size?

Hi,
On sites that pay less commission do you still upload at full resolution or do you downsize? If you downsize what resolution do you resize to?
