Adobe Stock / fotolia thumbnails - washed colors?
« on: October 11, 2009, 04:15 »
Hi.

I noticed that when I upload images to Fotolia, and that large previrew when mouse over, it has dull washed colors, but on other sites colors are preserved OK. Did you notice that problem?

Shutterstock.com / SS tax from this month
« on: August 04, 2009, 04:50 »
SS took 16$ of tax from me this month. Thats not as much as I would expect, not bad, hope it wont increase in next months. :D

But anyway, prices are going lower and lower...  :'(

Adobe Stock / Subscription and extended licence?
« on: July 08, 2009, 15:27 »
Funny thing: since FT introduced subs, I sold maybe 1 EX licence, and I used to sell about 1-2 per month before that. Do buyers think when they buy subscription package that they dont have to buy EX licence separately or something? I cant remember when I sold my last EX licence.... :(

Come on! Everybody talks they are going to delete portfolios, stop uploading... bla bla bla...

And reality is: never more images has been added to SS than last week, LOL. What is next? Every month, 1 more million of images. I think SS should really put some upload limit. Seriosly.

General Photography Discussion / "nobody" keyword?!
« on: May 16, 2009, 11:03 »
I see a lot of images of objects, food, etc... with "nobody" keyword. I mean, what the...? Why? Do you really think that buyers type "nobody" in search?

General Photography Discussion / Not very clever buyer
« on: March 05, 2009, 16:03 »
OMG! I have just sold 2 images to the same buyer. Funny thing is that those 2 were exactly the same image, but first he bought larger, than smaller size! LOL! This is pure waste of money, he could resize to smaller if he wanted smaller one. But I like those kind of buyers, they make me more money :D

Adobe Stock / fotolia unsold content - something new
« on: February 13, 2009, 03:16 »
you can move unsold content to free section.

what do you think about this?

I dont give my images for free! Subscription sales are too low, it is almost free, I dont give anything for free!

Adobe Stock / newly accepted images cant be found by keywords?
« on: February 11, 2009, 03:47 »
I noticed few days ago I got accepted some new images, 3 days later still cant be found by keywords, search engine not indexing them. Is it just me, or anybody else? I wrote to support, but they didnt get what was I talking about.

Shutterstock.com / updated rules at SS? what does it means?
« on: January 22, 2009, 15:22 »
one rule in particular:

------------
If you are a "US Person" as said term is defined by the IRS, a signed and completed IRS form W9 must be submitted to Shutterstock for Shutterstock to make payments to you. You will receive an email containing instructions on how to download and submit this IRS form to us. A W9 is used to certify under penalties of perjury that your social security number is correct and that you are not subject to backup withholding taxes. Foreign persons might be subject to U.S. income tax on income they receive from U.S. sources. If you are a "Foreign Person" as said term is defined by the IRS, a signed and completed IRS form W8 must be submitted to Shutterstock in order for you to claim a reduced rate of, or exemption from, withholding as a resident of a foreign country with which the United States has an income tax treaty. You will receive an email containing instructions on how to download and submit this IRS form to us.

what does it mean? If I live in Bosnia (europe) do I have to submit those documents or what?

Shutterstock.com / SS should introduce daily upload limit!
« on: January 14, 2009, 10:12 »
What do you think? Should SS introduce daily upload limit, for example, 15 uploads per day? Or per week.

This is very strange now. I have requested payment (via moneybookers) on 19th December, and it is 7th january and it is still pending. Is it just me or is it present with others? I wrote to support, but they were of no use, replying me this:

Quote
Thank you for your inquiry.

Electronic payment requests are usually processed within three business days.
Check requests are processed at the beginning of each month and the checks are sent out at the middle of the month.

If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.  Thanks!

and I clearly stated that I am waiting payment for 15+ days. :( I know there was holiday vacations, but now they are over, and I woul like to ask another payment, but I cant before pending one is processed. :(

I contacted StockXpert support again, hope this time they will be more helpful. Does StockXpert have forums of their own?

Computer Hardware / Do you calibrate your monitor?
« on: December 28, 2008, 10:52 »
I have just ordered this calibration device from ebay:

http://www.pantone.com/pages/products/product.aspx?pid=79

http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/reviews/pantone_huey.html

I want to buy new 24" LCD, and calibrate it properly. Do you calibrate your monitor?

Another question: Do buyers and reviewers calibrate their monitors? What is the purpose of calibrating your monitor, when buyer doesnt have calibrated one?

« on: December 12, 2008, 23:41 »

Adobe Stock / deleting ugly images
« on: December 11, 2008, 16:10 »
 ;D I just deleted 376 of my old, poor-seling, ugly images. And I plan to delete about 1000+ more tomorow, to clean my portfolio a little bit, so only hi-quality remain. I had 9.100 images online, but after this cleanup I should have about 7000-7500, or so.

Do you delete your old, non seling, poorly viewed, ugly images, and how does it impact your sales? I think buyers would easily browse trough my portfolio when there is less junk images :D

Shutterstock.com / no email about payout this month?
« on: December 03, 2008, 06:15 »

Adobe Stock / new images not indexing images from the same series
« on: November 28, 2008, 03:24 »
Since 4 days ago, newly aproved images are not indexing in "Images from the same series". Sent support a message, but no answer. Anyone noticed it? Contact support, maybe they are unaware of problem.

Is it a good idea to clean Hoya Super HMC multicoated UV filter with alcohol napkin (specialy made for optic cleaning)? I have been cleaning my lenses with those, and never have problems. How about multicoated filters?

Got Lowepro Micro Trekker 200 backpack to put all that equipment :D

Just to share excitement.... :)
