Thank you Pond5,  Byba messaged me that a filter has been implemented for me to select the MR with ease. !

Thanks for coming in here and letting us help you improve the site. I had some trouble with model releases a while back but it all seems to be working now. I think the search results could be improved, and of course more sales would be nice.  Mostly I want to just say keep up the good work.

I'm very new at Pond5 and just had my first sale there today. Shot of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. :-)

Congrats Martha on your sale  :)

Thanks, Pixsol! Now I'd like, oh, maybe, 1000 more this month. :-)

1. Allow the ability to set a price for EACH SIZE, not just a top price and let the algorithm do the rest. (e.g: using the current system, some of my tiny blog sizes are going for $10+, allowing us to set a price for each size setting would eliminate that problem)


+1 to that. I'd be happy to set the blog size cheap but the only way to do that is to set the mega high price cheap too.

are those dl numbers right? a quick search across a few popular topics reveals that the top sellers have DLs in the single digits, and those top sellers have rock bottom prices. sadly even the contributors are racing themselves to the bottom.

+1. It is crazy that there is no control. Setting the top price means that bigger images end up too cheap on the smaller sizes and small images end up more expensive.

Just a note: Video curating queue was eliminated.

Does this mean videos will no longer be reviewed? Or that the queue is down to virtually empty? I assume (and hope) the latter!

zager

It means the second (better) thing :-)

Great news! Just had a batch of videos accepted in very quick time. Thanks!

Any news on vector upload functionality yet??

I want to be able to see a running total of images in my portfolio, without having to navigate to the last page of online uploads to work it out. Am I missing something?

you can just open your profile overview

Thank you Luissantos84 - I missed that!

Another request though - having spent the morning uploading, I think it's a pain to have to keep changing the price from 1. Is there any way to set a user default price?

Thanks

I meant that the request was posted for Pond5 to respond, but it is very kind of you to try and find an answer for me.

ah yep sorry! will see which way is faster ahah

Hi Luis!

Thanks for your question - there is no way to set a default price for your account, however you can change the price of multiple files at once after they are uploaded. This may be a good option for you.

Go to My Uploads, and check all files you wish to edit.

Then at the bottom, go to Actions - set price.
Then set the price you'd like for those selected files, and click Execute.

This is an easy way to do bulk edits. Hope this helps! Get in touch if you need anything else.

Thanks!

Hi Luis,

I checked on that, and it looks like it has not been suggested, so I went ahead and submitted it. I think it's a good idea, and would definitely help repetitive uploads. Thanks!

Thanks!

pond5 is not accepting vectors, so I have nothing to complain as I am not uploading..  :D

I'm pushing, screaming, kicking. Vectors are just around the corner... :)

Thanks for the update Zager. I don't want to be uploading/paid through two different sites, so I'm holding out for vector upload via Pond5
