Suggestion: I would rework the Watermark a bit, I find it overly intrusive.

Stockxpert site is down ? I can not get into my account.

Same here. I posted this at the IS Forum but not replies . . .

"Is anyone other than myself having trouble checking Stockxpert?  All I get is a useless page with no login."

Update:
With 230 images I have 400 non bot views ...
How do you sort out the bots?

Just by the variety of images clicked and the ordinariness of locations.

PS . .  Is "ordinariness" really a word?

Update:
With 230 images I have 400 non bot views . . . .  in about 4 months.

Reality = -$30/no sales

More or less the same missing days, 8-12 and the last 5 days are missing.

My last set just got approved, it took 7 days.

There's no review, no rejections, no restrictions.  But, no sales either :-)

not very accurate, sure you and me a few other but the recent sold doesn't show that, many stock contributors (Elena, Sandra as a few examples) have many sales too

I have 140 images up there and the only views I get are from occasional 'bots.

So far it's just like RedBubble, except it costs $30  :)

YMMV.

Exactly.
The Pyschology of selling over the Internet - doesn't it feel good when we get Views!!
With 230 images I have 190 non bot views . . . .  in about 2 months.  It feels so good, but . . .

Do you mean WhiteWall or White House?


Based in Berlin, they have sites in many languages.  Here in the UK:

https://uk.classic.whitewall.com/?

White Wall, get it . . . .  "lets put something on that white wall", I guess.

They do all the printing for the Lumas Photo Galleries.

Use sRGB color profile.  The fact is unless you are having prints made at a Speciality Printer with on site color proofing and pay high prices for a print, then large volume printers, whether inkjet prints or C-Prints (Fuji Frontier, Oc Lightjet, or Durst Lambda), are set up for the common man who has no idea of color profiles.

I recently had a few Art Prints made through WhiteWall and for a test printed the same image twice, one using a jpeg/sRGB and one a Tiff converted to Kodak Endura Color profile which is the paper used for a Lightjet Print. Results:  Absolutly none that I could fine.  Both Prints were printed at 45x30 cm which was a 50% resized file coming from my 10 mp Nikon. Quality was excellent. At WhiteWall, it is stated that unless you convert a file to a Color Profile, then they assume the file has a sRGB Profile.

I would recommend WhiteWall for personal printing.

Okay guys and gals, joined Friday night and spent hours over the weekend uploading 103 images, including some old digital paintings. Also scanned some pen and ink and graphite drawings and slides, and some original watercolors, but haven't uploaded the images for those yet (lot of cleaning up to do). Also have some stained glass ornaments I could try to sell, who knows? Seems like the site is right down my alley.

I like all the features available on the site and hope to research those when I have free time.
Here is a link to the galleries I have so far. :D

Nice seeing a few photos from Knoxville,  my brother went to U of T and my father grew up in Rogersville.

New Sites - General / Re: Stockami contributor update - March 2013
« on: February 26, 2013, 13:08 »
I joined when they were iRockstock. I put in my tiny 600+ portfolio. I now have about 800. I have had one sale for $4. They have a nice interface. No categories. No wasted time for submission (speaking as an illustrator). Their application process is annoying (I tried for raster) because they make you start all over again even if they don't reject all of them. That really ticked me off.

However, seeing that they are willing to give us 80% for a short time and they are sincere (the owner is a former iStock contributor [exclusive?]), I am giving them a chance. I want to see them succeed.

I love the site and halfshag and Radio4 are very helpful.  This is a good example of an Artist trying to create something fair for other Artists. Of course its slow but I'll stick with them and hope the future brings better results.

I gave it about one year with nothing to show for the work of uploading.  I bowed out gracefully last month.

Great interview.  You showed a lot of class . . . . . . .  but maybe you should have clocked him.

Really impressed with the Photography, well done!

I kind of agree with you.  With 200 or so images and one or 2 visits a day this is one of those sites you don't want to check every day . . . . .  I'll drop in once a month and wait to be surprised.
