I don't understand why peoples total month earnings are down from 1 year ago unless they just have the same image quantity as a year ago. I only upload 25 images a week but am $100 up this month from a year ago and only submit to the 5 main agencies. As long as I keep adding photos my earning increase. iStock non exclusive giving me double of Adobe and Shutterstock.

Is it not a bit early for comparing last January when we are still in January? Im simliar with Dreamtime though, quite a few $4 sales and $1 dollars.....quite unlike them! Non-exclusive iStock still brings me in more money than any of the other top agencies.

Not for me it doesnt....non-exclusive iStock always pays me the most out of the big 5 (same amount of images on each)

I'll try entering the last 4 digits of my phone number if it happens again, I now have a critical error so have deactivated Adobe and will re-activate later today to try sort it. In meantime I will just upload manually.

Is anyone else experiencing upload issues to Adobe Stock via Microstock Plus? Basically on upload a pop up box says enter code from email or text message to continue upload but no email or text message has been received (in any inbox, junk mail etc). Anyone know how to solve this issue? I've not seen this before.
Thanks
Richard

On the plus side we can download the free images and if appropriate to your work, use part or all of the free image to form a composite new image and upload to sell back on Adobe etc

I. certainly don't have as large a library as yourselves but on a non-exclusive basis with 3500 images, istock always pays me more money than Adobe and of course now, shutterstock......or any other agency, unless I get that rare Alamy big sale.

The new royalty system is still much lower at level 4. I moved to level 4 fairly quick which gives 30% royalty, I think previously I was on 33% and used to get lots of 0.33 cents per sale but now at level 4 at 30% it is still like being at level 1 with lots of 0.10 cent sales, to be honest Ive had everything from 0.10, 0.11, 0.12 etc onwards

Yes thanks for the share - Your shutterstock portion is high above the other agencies, just shows differences between different photographers as I always get equal amounts from shutterstock, istock and Adobe at around $80 per agency (each have 3000 photos each), its fairly consistent for me.

Jpeg only, wonder how it compares to a raw file post processed to same end result.

I would certainly recommend a Mavic Pro 2 for still photography. The centre of the frame is about as sharp as you would get if taking a photo using a APSC sensor sized hand held camera. The edges are alot softer though but nothing that would stop an agency refusing the files, also keep the ISO low.
If you are stuck with making new imagines, along with having fun it makes sense to get one. I'd say aerial shots are in my top 3 categories of images sales.
Never taken one video with it, can just never find an emotional connection to video like I do with a still image, so have no interest in video.
I would say expect to probably send it back at least once for repair during the first 12 months which will probably cost around 300 and expect to download / change software versions a few times as sometimes updates have strange effects such as making sensors malfunction....
