Title: Can we still deactivate photos from iStock site?
Post by: Charlene on November 17, 2016, 20:53

Can we still deactivate photos from iStock site?
If yes, how?
If no, what can we do?

According to them, no.
According to some recent-ish posts here, yes.
What to do? Try for yourself and see.

(If they have indeed activated no-deactivation, you'd need to take out a support ticket explaining why you want to deactivate the particular files, and throw yourself onto their mercy.)

I cant. I think would close my account.

Quite a few people on here indicated that deactivation wasn't working, so presumably they cottoned on and fixed it. Oh, well.  ::)

So now the only option left is to leave.  I will wait and see how bad it gets, they don't have any of my most commercial images now.  If I start seeing my average earnings per image deteriorate to a point where I can no longer tolerate it, I will get out of there.
