Your calculations are again wrong. According to this page: http://davidgilder.com/misc/123RF_credit_calculator.html   which I found to be correct and I verified it in the past, I am at 4979 credits right now. According to your math, I am at 4786. I did the math myself, manually - and you're wrong. From January 2012 until now.
Things stay the same - you cut me short to 45%, I'll cut you short of 10.000 images. Your bosses might think they're in istock's shoes but that's far from the truth.

To some borderline cases (a little more and you'll get to the next level) if you're doing better in December 2012 than in December 2011, you should be looking forward to the next Contributor Level.

Thank you,

Alex.
This could mean I will scrape a level 6, which is nice. How close to the borderline do you have to be?

Hi everyone,

We have made some changes to the calculations, here is a list of the changes:

1) 100MB TIFF - now 150, from 20
2) 200 MB TIFF - now 300, from 40
3) 300 MB TIFF - now 450, from 60
4) If the Contributor also submits content to the Footage or EVO collections, 123RF will recognize the credit count that we charge to our clients for the purpose of calculating Contributors' Levels.

Thank you very much,

Alex.
Have the figures been updated yet as mine are the same as yesterday, just short of the 5000?

Thanks for the updates Alex
In the good spirit of not killing the messenger - have hoped for better, as the grant does not help me much (very few of those sales), but thank you for the effort Alex.

PS And may you and your family (honestly) have a blessed Christmas.

@fotografer - The total that you see now was generated using the new formula.

Thank you!

Alex.
Ah  ok thanks :(

Seems like this is going to be the final word  from 123RF management. As Jeff always say in Survivor - "Enough said - time to vote....."  ;)

S..t. - I missed 50% by 200 credits. Am I to feel encouraged to upload more or demotivated? I'm afraid I'm too lazy to upload more.

raising the credits for the least bought sizes is easy, it will make no difference to anyone.

thanks for the effort, but still you will not get any of my new files.

I'd like a button too.  If I have to I'll go through the current painstaking deletion process but as a courtesy, since you're really forcing the issue on us, you should provide us with a button that wipes everything and ends with a popup that says "nice knowing you" :D

The button would be nice. Ehhh... when I got time, I will just start deleting manually if I can. Got money sitting there but maybe 123rf needs it more than I.

No, don't give them another cent.  Convert the balance to credits and buy something from one of your buddies that are still there - even if you don't need it.  Better some goes to them than handing over 100% of your earnings to those greedy {insert your own word here}.

I'm also a buyer so they'll be losing a bit extra when I pack my bags.

There's no need for a delete button. I simply wrote support and asked to remove my portfolio and it was done promptly (with a courteous reply).

Thanks KB. I'm close to payout. I'll take my money - and then take my images too.

So, if I have this right, your big concession to contributors is to increase the counts for the three image operations that are rarely used and help out footage and EVO contributors with a doubling of credits for levels calculations?

Does this honestly seem to you as if you are doing anything for the bulk of those complaining about your new scheme?

If you want to be the agency with Yuri, MonkeyBusinessImages, other factories and a few individual superstars like Lisa, and nothing else, you're going about it just the right way.

It's not only the cash grab, which is bad enough, but you give the small time or niche contributor no way to increase their earnings - they need to become a factory too to get paid a decent royalty.

I don't think you've been listening carefully enough. If you have been listening, this is a truly insulting response.

I realize cutting the royalty rate is no fun for anyone but doesn't 123rf still pay a higher % than shutterstock?  Am I missing something?  36 cents per sub is more than or about the same as SS and even the 35% royalty is higher than SS right?

Yes, you are missing something.

As of 1 Jan, anyone on 35% from Credits will be on .25 for a sub.

They are currently offering me .21 for a sub.

They can stuff it.
