must be a mistake, I simply can't believe...
Did you contact them already? Is this your first €0,01 sale?

their upload- and submitting system is one of the easiest around. They even decide whether an image will be editorial or not. And sales are increasing here

also here, since a month ago views increased with 50%.
but I,ve seen more of such fluctuations about one year ago. From out of nothing views increased with 100%. Then collapsed after a few weeks.
btw, it didn't affect my sales

what would be more profitable for you (OP): carrying on microstock as a hobby or making it a business? Just a question out of curiousity

got one a year ago, also sold hardly.
After I got the request, I set the price at $900,-.
Surprisingly the customer bought it for that price....my share $450,-
Shortly after that I got 2 more requests, but both with any success. The problem is that you can't negotiate with the potential buyer.
I am sure that then you would come to an agreement about the price. So be carefull with setting your price.
deleting the file is a bit work, but doable

didn't see a raise here. I,m silver level. I also get 6 for an M, but as far as I know it has always been that. Maybe my raise will come soon

thank you for your explanation Jo Ann. I think I know what to do now.
She has indeed showed some respect for the photographer by asking permission.

Doesn't a regular download allow that kind of use?
I really don't know. Never bought an image
Maybe now would be the perfect time for you to go see what rights you are granting each time you sell an image. http://www.shutterstock.com/licensing.mhtml
good one thanks for the link

Ask for $28
would be an option. But I do not really understand well what she means. Will the image be the main subject, the quilt or the quilt with the image printed on it? My english is not good enough

Today I got an email by FAA from a customer who bought an image of me on SS.
From:
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx
Subject:
Use of Your Photograph
Message:
Good day, Hans.
I recently purchased your "xxxxxxxxx" photograph from Shutterstock. May I have your permission to use that photograph as the design basis for a small quilted wall hanging? The wall hanging will be made of fabric, thread and batting (also called wadding). It will not be sold, but it may be exhibited at several quilt shows in the United States. I will gladly credit you and your photograph as the basis of my design.
Respectfully,
xxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxx
What to do? Should I answer her with a simple "no", or try to make a deal with her?
Never had a request like this
NB: I think it was an $2.85 OD sale

Ron, no one can give you the right receipt for a correct WB. Only the "right out of the book" solutions. It's not that easy as people (books) say.
I also never had WB rejections, untill about past 2 years. Tried to fix them with the eye dropper tool but with no succes.
Sometimes I got them through by changing the WB into daylight, but often they got rejected again.
I surely see WB problems in your images, but maybe that´s subjective.
I would try to move the blue saturation slider in LR to the left, about halfway.

When we were used to shot in film we had not all these problems… it was daylight or tungsten. Stop.
And we all lived happy like this…
I used to do a lot of RA-4 color printing in the early 90s. You could pretty much compensate for a caste just the same as today.
How?
With the use of a color temp. meter?
By eye typically - using either a white piece of paper or, better still, a blank sheet of the color paper stock - for comparison. And the darkrooms typically had a fire exit so you could quickly get outside and make the comparison in natural light. And then gradually adjusting two out of the three enlarger colors one at a time. Then doing another test strip as you got closer. You quickly get good at it - so you would pretty much know roughly how much to dial in or out.
I see, but you said "just the same as today". How do you compensate a color cast today, digitally?

Just use the white dropper in Photoshop - click on what is meant to be the brightest and cleanest white, and hey presto.
I wish it was that easy
