General Stock Discussion / Adding an agency: Depositphotos?

« on: November 02, 2019, 03:48 »

Hi all,

I'm in microstock from about three years. I do it just for fun and give me some side earnings. I upload only images from my travels.
At the moment I uploading to the 4 main agencies (Shutterstock, Adobe, Istock, Alamy) plus Eyeem. I'm considering to add another agency from the "low earners". I follow every month the very useful reports of Brasilnut and Steheap (congratulation for the work and insights to both of them!) and seems that Depositphots deliver some earning compared to other "low earners". Also, the minimum payout is $ 50, so maybe I can reach it in 1 year (I have ready to upload about 2.500 travel images already keyworded). I have considerd also 123RF and Dreamstime: 123RF has a super slow review process and from the reports seem to sell less than Deposit; Dreamstime seems similar to Deposit, but it has minimum payout of $ 100. So the choice could be between Deposit and Dreamstime: what do you think?
Thank you!

General Stock Discussion / Robert Harding

« on: October 09, 2017, 08:09 »

Hi all,

as I wrote in another post, I have submit some of my pictures to Robert Harding.
I must admit it was just test: I have read that they are very selective, so I tried to see if they accept my pictures.
Surprisingly, they accept all the 10 pictures of the first submission, but for me it could be a "problem".
Reading around, I understand it could be very difficult to sell pictures on Robert Harding, so I prefer to continue with microstock (Shutterstock ecc.). Since Robert Harding required exclusivity, I need to delete these 10 picture submitted (and accepted), but it seems not possibile. Unlike Shutterstock or other microstock agencies, I didn't found a sort of "image manager", where I can for example delete pictures of modify title, keyword etc. There is a screen where I can see my submission and images accepted, but I can't edit them.
Could someone help me?

Thank you!

General Stock Discussion / How to save uncompressed jpg?

« on: October 07, 2017, 12:47 »

Hi all,

I would like to try to seeling picture on Robertharding. In the guidelines, they required "jpg format ... be a minimum of 50mb uncompressed".
How can I save "jpg format uncompressed"? On Lightroom, it seems not possibile, on Photoshop I didn't found anything about "jpg uncompressed" in the settings, there is only jpg and other settings, but nothing about "uncompressed".
And anyway, when I export on Lightroom or Photoshop, jpg files are much smaller than 50mb. They can be at most around 20-25. Original raw files are around 24mb (I have a Sony A7 II)?
Someone can help me?

Thank you
