Pixmac merges with Pond5
THP Creative:
The mirroring of accounts is a mess. I have requested to have mine looked into at least 3 times now and nothing has changed. I've also noticed they've now removed the link from your Pixmac Profile page to Pond5, so it's harder to see if your images have been mirrored or not.
The mirrored content is cheaper than I have set my Pond5 images at, so I'm not sure whether getting it all mirrored would be a good thing anyway. I thought initially we were told we were going to be able to control our pricing on both sites - am i remembering that right?
Sadly, the day this merger was announced this all seemed like an awesome move. But since then it appears little has been done and even less communicated to us as a community about it.
The staff at both sites are always friendly to deal with, but it just seems that little happens behind the scenes. (e.g.: does the pond5 site even mention that you can now upload vectors? I checked for weeks and could see nothing on there about it)

I think you're remembering correctly. It was my understanding that we would be able to control our own pricing on Pixmac as well.

Hello everyone.
The merger is done from the legal point. We're now processing the technical part and yes it takes more time than we expected - sorry for that. On our list of top priorities is also other stuff such as curating speed and hiring staff to control fast growth.
The most important thing is that if you upload - primary is Pond5. We would use the Pond5 system and only pick the good features from Pixmac. You can upload to both sites, but long term it is more effective to keep P5 as the up to date port.
