Title: SS now accepting Editorial illustrations, a promise never fulfilled by iStock
Post by: FreeTransform on June 28, 2014, 18:17

Three-and-a-half years ago, when Editorial was first announced, http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=281732&messageid=5365222 (http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=281732&messageid=5365222) they told us video and vector would soon be included. I stopped asking about that after about a year. Like so many other things that were promised and never materialized, editorial illustrations never became a reality.

Shutterstock is now accepting editorial illustrations and vectors: http://www.shutterstock.com/blog/now-accepting-editorial-illustrations-and-vectors (http://www.shutterstock.com/blog/now-accepting-editorial-illustrations-and-vectors)  Will iStock be eating more dust soon?

I'm still hoping they get the logos section up and running. 8)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that the logos officially went the way of the Dodo...  :o

I'm sure that's what goober meant!

Anyway, we should all know by now what iS promises are worth.
