However, I ask all users to follow this agency guidelines. It seems they disabled accepting images uploaded with StockSubmitter because our users were uploading their works "as is", ignoring GR requirements.
I recommend to upload some images directly to the GR website, get used to the guidelines and get your images accepted first. After that you can upload images using StockSubmitter with respect to GraphicRiver requirements.

Hello,
I am a newbie as far as uploading my photos to any stock agency. Tried to upload to Shutter Stock last week. I find that task daunting as yet. Got emails back today saying that they needed 7 out of the ten to be accepted, but not what was wrong with them. Oh well another day I guess. Am using a Canon 30D to shoot with so I think my tech things are ok as far as quality equipment. Not sure about sizes pixels wide and long but want to learn that. Any comments would help, thanks.

Hello,
To pass ShutterStock exam you need to upload and submit 10 images to SS website directly.
After passing the exam, you can start using StockSubmitter to do it faster.

Hi Niakris!

I have updated and now this problem. After start the software write:
Error:  Balance history file is locked by something. Please try the following:...

And next Stocksubmitter is closed.

So I can't submitted. :-(

I have restarted the program, restarted the computer: Always the same...
Can you help me?

Hello,

Make sure you are launching the program using the Start - All programs - StockSubmitter menu shortcut.
If you are launching it using any other shortcut, please remove it and copy the shortcut from the menu mentioned above wherever you want it to be

Thanks for all the updates!! the new fast keywording works pretty good!
Do you have a list of all the agencies that are working 100% with Stock Submitter?
For example Fotolia works 100% but 123rf doesnt handle model releases.

Don't have such list at the moment, but going to improve project website soon and add some more information regarding agencies support and F.A.Q.

Of course I'll be working hard to make all supported agencies work 100% (incl. 123rf) and may be add more of them to the program
Just need to finish with that huge update I'm working on at the moment

Alpha testing of the new StockSubmitter release has begun!

If you wish to take part in the test and start using new features now, message me via Skype (landofrain).
Please note that the new version will most likely contain some issues so you will get free subscription for taking part in the test (subscription plan and term depends on the time you spent on testing new version and amount of issues you helped to fix).

The update to the new StockSubmitter version is available to everyone.

Just let the program update as usually and you will receive the latest program release.
The list of changes and new features is pretty big so I will post a large post about the new release later.
Also DepositPhotos model/property releases uploading is working again in the new release

+ Fixed the issue that caused batch upload to agencies with HTTP upload mode to hang after uploading first image.

+ Fixed various program crashes.

+ Fixed video upload progress display for iStock.

+ Fixed JPEG resolution limits for Veer.

+ Fixed submission of video files to Pixta.

+ Fixed the issue that caused Alamy submission process to stuck if there was no unfinished files.

+ The check for matching title and description is working again for Dreamstime.

+ Earnings windows should no longer popup if there was no new earnings.

+ Implemented new and shiny submission for new and shiny DreamsTime design
Video is supported now aswell.

I can't get preview pictures generated automatically for new video files, this happened after updating the last version (probably skipped over the previous one). Pushing the refresh button does not help, tried rebooting too. Preview pictures for image files are generated normally. Any ideas?

Thanks for the great program!

Preview generation for video files is disabled temporarily.
You can generate them manually and then work with your videos as usually.

Preview generation will be restored soon.

+ New "Report an issue" feature is implemented in the latest version of the program

Using this feature you can send the message about upload or submission problems even if the program does not show any errors and does not let you to send the standard error report.
How to send the report: use "Service" -> "Report an issue" menu command right after you have experienced the problem. Describe the issue in the text field (as detailed as possible) and press the "Send report" button.
Send multiple reports if you want to report multiple problems.

Thank you for helping to improve the software

Thanks for the continued updates Niakris.  This is still my favorite microstock software.  I couldn't live without it!
