Asthebelltolls, I think you need to read that focus rejection more carefully and understand what it says.

http://www.shutterstock.com/contributor-resources/rejection-reasons/why-images-get-rejected-for-focus

Focus. Your image is not in focus or focus is not located where we feel it works best.

That's not just out of focus.

Back to DP. I have had no rejection problems or issues from them. Maybe because I don't just shoot out whatever crap I took, upload 200 shots, and see what sticks. I think their reviews are more than fair and liberal, open to accepting a broad range of images and concepts.

Commissions: They were caught with a "partner" site selling our images at highly inflated prices and we are getting subs commissions. That's dishonest. At first they denied it, then they said, well everything that partner takes is a sub. Then how long ago they said, we''ll be paying 44% for all DLs.

Really? We don't get 44% now, and while 30c subs is meeting the industry standards, better than some like TS and slightly lower than the mid point on SS, it's being used for outside sales, not subs!

DP has tried to hide and trick us, over and over and when caught, denies or falls back to, we'll change it. So how many times do we need to catch them before people wake up, that DP is trying to play us and make money in shady ways.

In case some people here have lost track of time and promises. DP said in July that they would be repairing the 3% plan and the contributor payout scheme would be changed. (scheme is a good word for it)

I received an e-mail from DP regarding the 3% royalty.

Currently, we are changing our monthly subscription royalties, so you will be receiving 44% out of each monthly subscription download.



WHEN?


I don't know, but I've asked them.

Yes, don't anyone shoot the messenger.  8)

The when is more for DP to answer. If it happens there will be many happy people. It could even keep them from falling into the low earners on the poll.

WHEN?

I don't know, but I've asked them.

Their answer:

"It will take a few more days and you will be receiving 44% out of monthly subscription downloads."

Sorry but i think that if a company sell your images per 9,90 and pay you 0,30 you're begging while they are scamming you.

OMG Depositphotos sells our images for $ 9.90 and pay us only $0.30? Only 0.03% of Commission?
