Title: Mini upload test, BigStock review in less than 5 days
Post by: rosta on September 11, 2006, 05:46
Hi all, I was trying some new stuff out last week and on Friday (9/8/06) I uploaded the same five images to IS, DT, BigStock, FT, FP, 123Rf, StockXpert and LO.  As of Sunday night I have had all five reviewed (in order of speed) by FP, StockXpert, FT, BigStock, LO.  I knew that IS and DT would be late but I was very surprised at the speed of BigStock and at the lack of speed at 123RF.  Just a mini-test, YMMV. BTW..I also learned from my experiment in that of the 5 images reviewed so far I had only one reject, and that was the same image at both StockXpert and FT.  StockXpert said it was too dark while FT said,

"The photographs in the Fotolia database are intended for sale as illustration of brochures, magazines, websites, and presentations. Your photographic work is excellent but does not meet the needs of the Fotolia customer base."

Nicest rejection I ever received.  ;D hey it was an experiment and I learned from it.  No complaints here.
