Can't get in but apparently I can buy the Domain needs to be renewed. That doesn't look good.  Hope it's just an oversight that will be rectified soon. I rather like GL Stock, and would hate to see them go down.

All the 'Upload Status' emails I am getting are just blank? Anyone else having this problem?

I've been wondering about buying some actions/presets to add into Photoshop (CS6) and/or Lightroom, but I'm not sure what to get. I looked at the MCP actions and Florabella Collections and can't make up my mind which, if any, I should buy.
They all look great on the examples shown, but are they simple 'one-click' adjustments, or will it be just as quick for me to process using Color FX or various adjustments in PS? Does anyone know if they introduce noise? I have noticed that some of the Color FX options introduce unacceptable amounts.
If anyone has experience with these actions, or can recommend any others, I would be really glad if you would share your thoughts on them.

Someone started a thread about this on Shutterstock but, having looked at the FB page, probably some people here also need to be aware. Here is the info from the Shutterstock forum: I just got the following message on my Linkedin page:
Hi everyone! I have a blog share free eps vector. I think it so helpful with you, you can visit and download free. And this is my fan page: https://www.facebook.com/epsvector
Started by Tina Swift, Designer at EPS Vector Blog
Here is the blog:http://eps-vector.blogspot.co.uk
Here is the Linkedin page:http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Hi-everyone-I-have-blog-121555%2ES%2E238766865?view=&gid=121555&type=member&item=238766865&trk=eml-anet_dig-b_nd-pst_ttle-cn
I have not found any of my own images but I quick Tin-Eye search shows that the images are on various stock sites and by numerous artists.
I have left a comment on the Linkedin page but some of you may want to add you own or contact Facebook, etc. if any of the images belong to you.

With everything that has been going on recently, I know it is time that I concentrated more effort on selling RM, rather that just giving everything I have to the Micros. I have a small Alamy port of RF images and a hard drive of images that are suitable for RM - just need some processing and uploading time. I know I can't sell any of my RF stuff as RM but that is about the extent of my knowledge!
Before I invest too much time getting things wrong, I just want to clarify a couple of points.
Firstly, if I submit RM to Alamy can I also sell the same images RM elsewhere? Can I also sell the same images on places like Fine Art America? In short, is the rule simply that I don't sell the same images as RF?
Secondly, I notice on Alamy that images that would perhaps sell as editorial on the Micros are clearly photoshopped more than an editorial image should be. One example I saw was very similar to an image I have, and was clearly taken from the same position, but mine has power cables cutting across it and the processed one on Alamy had the cables removed. I am used to just tidying up images for editorial - exposure/contrast/curves, etc. Is this kind or treatment acceptable for Alamy/RM? Also, at what point do I have to declare that it has been 'digitally altered'? I'm really not sure what 'digitally altered' constitutes - would that be anything that has been adjusted in PS or is it for substantial image manipulation? The image I mentioned with the removed cables was marked as NO to the 'digitally altered' bit.
Thanks

I submit to several sites and each one has different rules and regulations as to how my images can be licensed. At the moment, I have disabled Partner Programs and ELs on several sites, purely because I don't want images sold for POD use, etc. On some sites, Fotolia for example, I actually removed my port, because I didn't like the way they were circumventing the licence agreement to allow POD on standard licences through some of their partners. I also don't like the idea of someone buying my image and putting it on mugs and mousemats on Etsy and Zazzle, etc
I am wondering what everyone else does?
Am I being over cautious and restricting my income dramatically? There is a part of me that wants to retain a modicum of control, and another part of me that says what the heck - if someone is going to misuse my image, they will do so anyway. Also, what is the likelihood that someone will pay for an EL just to use my image on a mousemat?
I don't know whether to throw caution to the wind or not, and would be really glad of some other points of view.

I like the look of GL Stock and have signed up. However, I really don't know where I should be setting my price level. I sell a mix of photos and vectors and wondered what the rest of you do? What are sales like there? Do any of you have prices set at different levels and, if so, do you notice that the lower priced images sell better?

Hi, I came across this site with lots of stock images and wondered if the usage is OK? One of my images is there and has only been sold through Shutterstock, Dreamstime, Bigstock, Canstock, and i don't believe any of those sites allow POD usage. Perhaps someone who able to translate the website can put my mind at rest that the usage is OK? Here is the link: http://www.klikodeco.com/
