Thank you for your support of www.cutcaster.com (http://www.cutcaster.com)!
Somebody pinch us. Is summer over and are we really into Fall? It’s amazing how fast the days fly by and what has been accomplished in that short period of time at Cutcaster with your help. We quickly passed 300k uploads to Cutcaster in August but are in need of specific content that our buyers have requested. To see an updated list of images and illustrations that we still need and will be showcased to buyers, please click here, http://www.cutcaster.com/info/contents. (http://www.cutcaster.com/info/contents.) We are attending the PictureHouse tradeshow in New York on October 14th and need your shots to show to the hundreds of buyers who will attend this event! We are at table G4, right next to Getty, so stop by to say hello and enter to win an Amazon Kindle.
Here are a few releases you may not have noticed.
1. Our first premium collection of images was released called Crescendo. I am sure a couple of you noticed the creative firestorm it caused ;-) http://www.cutcaster.com/crescendo (http://www.cutcaster.com/crescendo)
2. Scaled pricing for different resolutions was introduced.
3. Expanded the scope of our rights offering with new Extended Licenses. http://www.cutcaster.com/info/Extended-Licensing-at-Cutcaster (http://www.cutcaster.com/info/Extended-Licensing-at-Cutcaster)
4. We increased the speed of the site and speed of search. Test it out from your last visit.
We hired a new Creative Director to help with the growing collection. Along with the review team, she will be aggressively editing the collection, building "feature lightboxes," and communicating with and recruiting new photographers. She is also helping to improve our upload method and review process in general. You can reach her at [email protected].
Don't forget our Affiliate Program! http://www.cutcaster.com/info/Review-Referral-Program (http://www.cutcaster.com/info/Review-Referral-Program)

Fresh, New, and Exclusive!
From June to September, we demo'ed the site for and talked with hundreds of new buyers to introduce them to the new Corporate Buyer Accounts. We have forged personal relationships with our buyers and are responding to their suggestions on content and site mechanics. WE KNOW GETTING BUYERS IS PRIORITY NUMBER ONE FOR EVERYONE AND WE ARE WORKING HARD TO ATTRACT MORE AND MORE.
We know many of you mass market your photos. Our buyers are also looking for exclusive content and want to find more of it at Cutcaster. Don't forget you earn 50% on exclusive content and you can set the price.
Thanks again for submitting to Cutcaster, it is your great work that makes us grow! Keep an eye out for more improvements to site speed and search in the coming weeks!
Warm Regards,
The Cutcaster team

Is there no longer a forum at Cutcaster?
-
The forum is still there if you go through the Sitemap at the bottom of the web page - but that's the only way I can see. Probably why there is very little traffic on it.

It's still there in the sitemap. From what I understand it is being revamped and will be back up.
-
That is correct Marburg. Thanks for sharing. The forums are being better integrated into the site. The forums will be back up once that is done but you can still access them from the sitemap.

simple question to cutcaster, how long does it take to get approved, its neen a few days for me, and also the FTP does not work...keeps giving me error messages..
-
There is no approval process needed to upload. The reviews take a few days at most. In most case the day of or two days. Send me an email and let me know what errors you are getting and what browser you are using. The FTP has been working fine so I want to make sure that you are putting in all the information correctly. My email is john @ cutcaster DOT com

My recent experience has been 5-6 days. Although one image was approved in under three hours!!! :-\

I reset the FTP connection a few days back and it was working fine so check that again. Thanks
