Title: 500px
Post by: PZF on October 14, 2015, 05:28
I seem to have lost the ability to see CURRENT pulse on my photos.
Is it just me?
Am I missing something obvious?
It's hardly a crisis but rather odd.

No, it's still there but they change things quite often. In your portfolio, click on your image and on the right under details you'll find your pulse

Anyone notice the 500px rebranding that launched today? There's a cool video about it:

Love how the logo incorporates the concept of a camera lens focusing.

How are sales there? It's on my list of sites to give way more attention to - beautiful work there. Just curious how they are doing with sales.

A few days ago one of my pictures has been sold and I got $105 netto. It will be my third payment. I have a Plus account so it already paid of. In general I'm fine with them, except watermark problem, still not solved.

I had one "interest" in my photo. And it also finished with only "interest".

I upgraded to Plus account mainly because of unlimited uploads, because I have no patience to upload only 20 pics a week. When I prepare a bunch of photos for sell, I can upload them all at once. Some statistics also is needful to analyze.

And I have no time to play these "community games": "I like you, you like me", "I commented, please you comment" etc. Though there a many good shots to enjoy and to learn from them, I rarely browse them and even more rarely comment. I just use this platform to expose and to sell my works.

I recently uploaded a few pics to 500px. They're in the prime marketplace but I don't understand the message to buyers about being the first to license the image and needing to leave a deposit and wait up to several days for 500px to secure the license. Can anyone enlighten me what this is all about?

Ta - but I'm still confused. When I go to my PROFILE I see my pics.  I can then click on each of them in turn and to the right I can see the historical PEAK of pulses - but nothing about current stage of pulse.

If, under my icon top right, I click PORTFOLIOS I get a page encouraging me to....set them up maybe? Aren't the photos already sent up in a Portfolio somewhere?

In the past, just mousing over the pics in my profile page brought them all up which was nice....

Just seems complicated.

PS Yeah, nice logo - guess we can now see where some of that huge sum of money raised went!

New logo is super busy IMHO. Needs simplifying.

I agree !
It's hard to watch / concentrate on it.
Just my opinion.
