have you ever listened to a copied mixtape in your walkman in the 80s/90s?

[...] You won't find any monkeys or slaves there though, and like others have mentioned, you might do well to drop those terms, even if it was meant to be humor.

Envato / Re: First author to reach $1,000,000 in sales on Envato
« on: December 13, 2011, 14:49 »
I purchased a wp theme too, and I can say that they are very well made! Tons of options, shortcodes, custom post types, widgets, etc.... I still have to learn a lot before submitting one!

But I think that psd templates, html templates and email templates are something I can do! I'll give it a try as soon as I have decent items to submit!

he is an exclusive author, so he made 70% of that $1,000,000 (if you're exclusive your starting commission is 50%, but it increases up to 70% as soon as you reach $75,000 in sales http://themeforest.net/wiki/selling/getting-paid/payment-rates/)

and he has only 40 items on sale, not 400 ;)

That's great! :)

I'm planning to release some psd/html/wordpress templates on ThemeForest. It seems a great marketplace! ;) even if it's quite hard to get in (my first 2 psd website templates were rejected).

General Stock Discussion / Re: Easiest and fastest submission
« on: December 12, 2011, 16:50 »
Thanks! ;)
Yep, I'm already subscribed to the Top Tier and some others, I just want to know if there are other smalle agencies with a submission process really fast and simple (so you don't mind if sales are slow).

Graphic Leftovers seems interesting, I'll give it a try!

In your opinion which are the best agencies speaking of submission process?
Which one has the easiest and less time consuming process?

MicrostockSubmitter / Re: StockSubmitter v2.0
« on: December 11, 2011, 04:56 »
Hi!

Umm... today it is working!!! :D I just launched SS2.0, it downloaded some sort of update (or at least is what a popup message told me) and now it works just fine ;)

I can navigate my files, and it reads IPTC Title, Description and Keywords correctly lettim me edit them for each agency. It works with both JPG and EPS files.

I don't have any video to test the auto-preview thing.



Keep up the good work! ;)

Can't say too much about the interface, right now it's basically a file browser that reads metadata, but it's ok. Can't wait to see it with more features.

Just a couple of questions: are you planning to add some kind of auto-submitting to all the agencies listed? :) Do you have any idea about the release date (probably it's too soon for that...)

« on: December 09, 2011, 12:21 »
Hi! I've installed it on my pc, but after the install process the software won't start at all... there is nothing in the task manager after launching the program!


Here is my machine specs:
Laptop Sony Vaio S
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64bit
i've installed "GTK# for .NET v2.12.9" and I've already got .NET Framework 4 (so I don't think I need to install the v2, right?)
CPU Intel i5 M540 2.53ghz
6gb RAM
Graphic card: Nvidia GeForce 310M

135
Thanks a lot! ;) Good to know!

136
Hi, sorry to bring up again this thread.
Is the list updated? Or are there new agencies where it subit photos automatically?

This means that on all other agencies I can only upload but not submit?

Thanks again! ;)
Stefano

General - Stock Video / Vidli anyone?
« on: December 02, 2009, 13:05 »
Anyone have tried Vidli?
It's in a "beta" phase, I've requested an account but they didn't activate it yet.

Anyone already have a beta access into it?
It claims to be a "video licensor", a place to buy, sell and rent videos, and I'm just curious to see how it works!

138
ok! Thanks to all ;)

If I try to build up a new portfolio for mid-stock (maybe I'll delete all my landscapes and editorials from micros) on which mid-stock agencies I can upload my shots without exclusivity?

Photoshelter
Panthermedia
Mostphotos
...other?
maybe also Alamy?!


[edit] PS: and if I decide to put my images on sale with RM license I can't sell them on different sites? right?

139
I think that every agency has his target ;) And maybe with the mid-stock license the buyer can use the image in some more ways (I'm not sure, actually I'm reading some terms of usage).

140
On which mid-stock agencies can I upload the same images that I'm selling in other micro-stock agencies? (shutterstock, fotolia, bigstock, dreamstime, stockxpert, 123rf, featurepics, canstock)

I don't have time to build up a different portfolio, but I want to give a try to mid-stock.

142
hi! thanks for your advice! ;)

the site is not online yet (actually i didn't stat to work seriously on it)

Microstock Monitor / Re: Microstock Monitor on Linux under Wine
« on: February 25, 2008, 15:51 »
how can i get it work on Linux? (i've got Ubuntu 7.10)

144
 :-\

almost everything is noisy for any stock agency ;)

145
Why do you want to give away the photos for free? If they are godd enough, why don't you upload them as editorial at existing agencies/

often during live music gig the lighting is not so good, so you have to use at least iso 800 or even 1600 with a result of noisy pictures. every stock agency will reject such noisy images...

and also tons of concert pics are published for free on flickr, deviantart, picasa, & co. i want to create an archive for them :)

146
thanks, i'll noticed that Hostgator give 350gb storage and 3000gb bandwidth.
but it's true or it's overselling? (usually nobody will use 3000gb/month, but if you go near this quota they will stop your account?)

147
thanks... now i'll tray to take a look at it!

i'm planning to let download full-res images for free (only a free registration is required), so i don't need a shopping chart but only to allow full-rex to registered users


and surely I wont use a free hosting ;) maybe at the beginning I can use a decent shared hosting and if the website works well I can think about a dedicated server

148
umm something like this one: http://copiousnotes.typepad.com/weblog/images/2007/07/12/the_police_live_2.jpg  ;D

shots taken during live music gigs ;)

Off Topic / Create a small free stock website (like www.sxc.hu)
« on: February 11, 2008, 16:54 »
I'm planning to create a (very)small website to let download live music photos for free (with a creative commons license).
I'm know some basic php and mysql, but i'm far from create something like that from scratch, so i'm looking into some cms (like Gallery2, Zenphoto, Coppermina or similar) to put my hands on. :)

have you got any experience in that?
any suggestion?

I'm looking into a cms with (hopefully all) these features:
- 3 level registration ("designer" who can only download images, "photographer" who also can upload and the "holy reviewer") (any photographer and reviewer must have an admin activation)
- images reviewing system
- comments and ratings
- auto thumbnail generation
- only registered users can download full-res images
- unregistered users can only see watermarked low-res images (so to download an image you have to signin and accept a CC license)
- ftp support
- exif/iptc support
- fancy stuff like: picture of the week, most downloaded, most viewed, top rated, editor's pick

General Stock Discussion / Re: Where to submit "noisy" images?
« on: December 10, 2007, 14:26 »
have you tried running it through noise ninja or neat image?

yep, but an iso 800 shots through NoiseNinja become to much soft to delete all the noise...

I don2t know if grp_photo was kidding but  I remember reading at SS forum  that SS has different quality standards for editorial images so you might indeed try to upload them there
I've just sent an email to them to ask that
