It might be good that Yuri is there, but the way I look at it, by not letting anyone else in yet so they can get everything started with the "big guns"...we'll already be at the bottom of the pile if it's based on sales as far as placement is concerned. I'm not even playing that game, it would be a waste of time for me and being a new site, I'd probably be buried alive!! If it takes off then maybe I'll consider it, but with their attitude from the git go I don't think that is a good way to be considering it is a new site.

Kind of weird to see this happening under the eyes of Peter since StockXpert used to be very fair.

My guess is that iStock paid them a good bunch of money for the takeover so now they feel like they could get even more next time if they provide a better product.

It's just a money thing. Most of us are just the balls they juggle with. Sadly.

I guess regular contributors have no chance to compete with big guns. The only hope is to find our own niches.

FD-regular made a good point to me. Even though Yuri et. al. is uploading masses, we each have our own unique style. Their stuff is very cookie-cutter-ish. Based on past sales for me, I have no doubt I would make some sales. Hopefully my niche won't show up in the same searches as theirs.

I got accepted a couple of days ago, very easy upload process and very similar in style to how it was at StockXpert, although they have imposed daily limits, I may consider sending all my stuff in by DVD. Attaching model releases is a breeze as is editing the IPTC data (if you choose to).

All those months and years uploading to StockXpert! and for what? ...to eventually delete everything!

Who can say they won't sell it again?

Who will guarantee that If I waste my months on this one, it will be worth the effort?

So do they market this site as "Just what everyone else has except less!"

Seems to me everyone has Yuri and the heavy hitters - they are the "regular" guys.

Now me I'm special!

I would of thought getting everyone's portfolio on the site ASAP would of been the best option but many sites have tried that and failed over the past few years. Hopefully they know what they are doing and are trying a better approach. It looks almost impossible to build a successful new site now but I am pleased to see they are giving it a go and I wish them luck.

I was featured on the last newsletter of 3DS next to Yuri. I really felt like a queen for a night. But after the clock of midnight, my glass slippers turned again into regular Chinese plastic. Grin

Same here. Habemus papam! Around 3 1pm CET there was white smoke coming out of the chimney of the Budapest FreshVatican. All regulars can storm the fort now. Tongue

Wo's next?

Update: 48 submitted yesterday, 15 rejected today. They probably expected an avalance of uploads, so this is pretty fast.

They sure don't like nature and landscapes, but they love models, objects and concepts. Nature rejects were sometimes for lighting, which is BS since the histogram on my 5DII was nice and full (shots accepted on iStock).

They also have problems with any architecture shot (even if state property) that is non-released, just like on BigStock recently. Feel likes a Fotolia kind of collection policy.

Thanks for the update and thoughts . . . . . but for me still gray smoke.

I'm in too

Fingers crossed for Stockfresh success.

Now I just have to find time to upload... this was a bad time to clear out my house (currently taking a break while surrounded by chaos - not the best frame of mind for image selection...)

I am just starting to get pictures on the site. They seem really nice and helpful there. Quick responses to questions.

Really hopeful that Stockfresh will succeed, and maybe pick up the slack from the loss of StockXpert.
