great landscape :)

Yeah, shutterstock is a great pain with noise.  I run everything through noise software (using an action, so i don't have to sit there and wait for it) no matter what the iso was.  The software automatically figures out what ISO the pic was taken at and knows that i am using a canon and figures out waht sort of noise reduction is required (noise ninja as a photoshop plug-in)

HOWEVER that said.., after shutterstock has lapped up all those noiseless images,  istock often refuses images because they are over processed with noise reduction software.... go figure.

Title: Featured Artist
Post by: Striker77s on March 06, 2006, 11:34

Congrats on being the featured artist.  Not to be the bearer of bad news but are you sure.  I almost posted the same thing the other day.  They changed their website and instead of going to the site home page it would go to my page.  At first I thought I was the featured artist and then I realized I wasn't.  I had to delete the cookie they set and then it reverted back to the site home page.  Hopefully you are Anne and it is for real.  I got an email the other day from Featurepics about the category changes and they said they are going to start rotating the featured artist everyday.
