I've emailed them, but no reply. We should have heard that "exciting news" announcement and how it affects contributors by now. Also their royalty page is still out of date: https://www.123rf.com/contrib_structure.phpAmazing how telling people how they will be paid is at the bottom of the to-do list.

A couple. Easy upload, so at this stage I'll keep trying.

It seems like some details have been added back to this page: https://www.123rf.com/contrib_structure.php compared to when I posted the same link 1-2 months ago (it was basically blank) But there are still 'old' details in there as well, such as the huge variety of image sizes. So perhaps a work in progress. The targets seem to be in there though. Eg: (1,000-4,999) for Rank 2. 4,999 was the cut of for Rank 4 previously I believe. Sure looks like a huge proportion of contributors will be stuck at rank 2, or maybe 3 if for some reason 123RF does well with your kind of images.

Be very careful what (if) you choose to upload here. Eg: https://www.fivedollarphotos.com/watermark.php?id=160Full size image on display with terrible watermark. You're basically giving away your images. For me I'm not going along with it. All the best for those who do.

Lately, yes. But even more annoying is that they appear to upload fine, thumbnails, meta all there. Only after submitting them do they get rejected for a File Transfer Error.

Thanks for checking in Matt.
I prefer to submit using Adobe, but do everything else in Fotolia. Please please please do not shut the Fotolia contributor interface before Adobe Stock is at least on par with it (if not better!).
Eg: stats reporting, quick stats on weekly/daily sales etc

Your viewport is unnecessarily small for a site being built in 2018. I have loads of unused space on my 21" 4k iMac, can only image a 27".
Also no https...doesn't inspire confidence in security practises.
Plus all of what Sean said...

Feels like a non-starter to me.

I've never tried Stock Performer, but I have really got attached to Microstockr over the past 12 months or so. I find it really helps to see what has sold and often seeing those little thumbnails of an image I took years ago triggers a new idea for a different edit or a different series of images.
I wish it did Canva, but other than that, it meets all my needs.

I've also been using Microstockr for the last 6 months or so. It really needs to add more agencies, and the program (on Mac at least) is quite slow and could use some improvement, but otherwise it is good and useful.

can't say I know of them.
Just did a search for "Australia" and first the search broke, then it worked. Pretty terrible results, in fact the first 2 images in the results show in their GPS data that they were taken in the USA. Also, they are being sold for $1....
Not a good first impression...

I was really hoping for good things when they got bought and the new site design was being talked about.
But Unfortunately the new design is actually worse than the old one and sales have gotten even rarer.
I think they are in the "keep, but no new files" category for me as well.
Its a shame, I really wanted sites like them to succeed given their "Fair Trade" style approach.

They don't seem particularly bothered at support by the reply i received.
This is what gets me. Honestly, its like they are so done with BigStock they aren't even going to bother fixing all the bugs cropping up and it will just crash entirely one day.

Category Guesser has been "unavailable" for countless months...
Cannot bulk edit images (Safari, Mac) without it overwriting every image with the metadata from the first image selected.... Wrote to support, they did nothing....
Now I cannot even bulk submit images. It looks like it works but nothing actually gets submitted. Have to submit one by one....
It's like they don't even want us to use them.

Wow - ZERO income on all sales! They make the other agencies look awesome!
I have no experience with them sorry, but really hope you can get some explanation!

Hi Rob,
I can't recall the exact definition of the two, but basically PORTFOLIO EXPOSURE and DATABASE EXPOSURE are a percentage of how big your portfolio is versus the Dreamstime database. It has nothing to do with people viewing your images.
Also Dreamstime automatically create TIFF's of your image when you upload as an upsell possibility to clients.
Hope that helps!
Tim

The last "exciting news" I heard from them was that whole Creative Commons for donations joke.
If the exciting Phase 2 news is "with you making less money, we can spend more on advertising, which will make you MORE money!" I'm gonna loose it!

Well I never received a reply from them, but thanks for sharing your response you got.
2 months to "deploy" (makes it sound exciting) rate cuts with no warning? Come on.

I would suggest everyone emails them with their concerns, or gets on social media to them. A flood of emails or tweets etc may make them actually provide some info on this change at least.

I still haven't received an reply from days ago when I emailed them.
Guessing I probably won't, until we get a random "Exciting News!!" email newsletter sent out or something.
Its all feeling very iStock...

They remove 35% and 45% levels and everyone who was on this two levels are one level down and have lower commission. This is so unfair
So it would seem anyone in the old Tier 4 bracket, which I am guessing would have been a LOT of people, have lost 5% on credit sales, and 4cents on every subscription overnight with no explanation. 123Rf - Care to explain?
Except your maths is wrong, going from 35% to 30% commission isn't a 5% loss, it's roughly 15%.
Public school....  haha I see what you're saying, I was more trying to say on the old chart I received 45% of a credit sale, now its 40%. But more importantly - we need an answer from 123RF on this pronto.

Same here. Have sent an email. Unless I have forgotten, it seems they have changed the royalty page: https://www.123rf.com/contrib_structure.php - there is nothing mentioned about what is required for each tier. That's scary.

Just a humble advice: don't waste any time with Crestock.
^ Exactly this. This was one of the first agencies I quit some years back, and am still thrilled with my choice.

OLD THREAD, but still same question...
Does iStock accept Editorial Video yet?
Thanks

I don't sell there because of this kind of stuff.
