Better than expected, in this economy.

This morning was the first time I used TinEye to see where my images from istockphoto are being used. I immediately found one of my istockphoto images, uploaded over a decade ago, being sold at Shutterstock. It had been uploaded over there in April of this year. For anyone else in the same predicament, there is a page at Shutterstock where you can report Copyright Infringement. https://www.shutterstock.com/terms/dmca-noticeIt does make me wonder if Shutterstock does any checking at all. I was able to find this copyright infringement in just a few seconds. They ought to be doing a quick reverse image search for every image submitted to them. My stolen image is located in this portfolio: https://www.shutterstock.com/g/Mapotsi

In this article ... https://9to5mac.com/2024/06/06/change-to-adobe-terms-amp-conditions/it states ... A change to Adobe terms & conditions for apps like Photoshop has outraged many professional users, concerned that the company is claiming the right to access their content, use it freely, and even sub-licence it to others. To Repeat: Adobe is claiming the right to access users' content, use it freely, and even sub-licence it to others The company is requiring users to agree to the new terms in order to continue using their Adobe apps, locking them out until they do so … Adobe says that its new terms “clarify that we may access your content through both automated and manual methods, such as for content review.” WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?

I just spent much of today re-upping a couple dozen or so submissions along with screenshots & comments in order to prove that I did, indeed, create each one of my submissions. Seems like whenever I add a texture to an image, I'm asked to prove that I created the texture.
Out of curiosity, I wonder how often this typically happens to other illustrators we have in this forum. How often are you asked to send screenshots to prove your works are original?
FYI -- I'm not complaining, as I understand istock needs to know our works are our own. But I'm just wondering ...

Checking the images downloaded in January, I noticed lots of images that are not usually sold ... it's almost like there was a shake-up in the search functionality.

I suspect this is just temporary ... but it's WAY OFF.

I went Exclusive at istockphoto the moment it became an option.
However, they have never made my Illustrations exclusive ... Illustrations have remained non-exclusive all these years.
Does anyone have an explanation for this? Most of my portfolio is photos, but about 1,500 or so are Illustrations.

It seems that whenever I get close to 5,000 in my portfolio, istock swoops in and deletes a whole bunch of my images. How common is it for them to delete files ... this time I had about 4,910 images and overnight it changed to 4,710.
How common is it for them to do this?

Years ago, many of us believed that recency of upload gave an image a slight advantage in the algorithm on istock. What are the current thoughts on this these days?

Whenever I try to access commuity.adobe.com with my Windows computer with the Chrome browser and the Microsoft Edge browsers, I receive this message.
"You are not allowed to access this site"
However, I have no problems accessing the site with my ipad or my galaxy phone.
I have rarely used the site over the many years I've been using Photoshop and never had any issues there like bad behavior.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how I might resolve this issue?

Has anyone else had this problem -- several images which were accepted are showing up on the istockphoto website, but not in my portfolio?
It's been 4 or 5 days now. Hoping they will correct this issue without my having to ask.

Last month was below expected; this month above... Go figure.

Has anybody noticed that if you attach a reference image, the reviewers do not get to your submission for a long time -- days and days?

I was ready to be disappointed ... but, a little better than I expected.

pleasantly surprised .... graphic designers seem to be getting back to work ... probably at home for now.

April is probably the month when we all started feeling the results of Covid19

Wondering how microstock sites such as Getty/istock will be affected by the coronavirus.

Just curious ... does anyone know what sizes are most commonly sold on istock. Or the cost commonly sold aspect ratios?

Just curious if it's a good idea to upload similar images at the same time ... are your other images in the series more likely to be found?
The reason I ask is I just discovered that there is a keyword "in a series" - I had never discovered it before ....... so I've been adding it to groups of similar images.
Tnx

It appears that some istockphoto reviewers work on weekends. I got images reviewed on both Saturday and Sunday of this weekend.
That was an unexpected treat.
