@Freezingpictures, it's would be judgment call. Are you full time pro and part time student?

Check the option which gives you more that 50% if your income. I guess this is how revenue agencies define full time job, right?

Your daytime job is art. If you are medical doctor who shoot for stock part-time I would not consider this person professional.

I just wonder how many of you are really art professionals?

Actually microstock is my "life after" plan B :-) Shall I look for plan C???

It there anything I can do about it? It must be up sizing in Lightroom cause I doubt that picture taken at ISO 100, f/13 would be out of focus.

I was furious at the beginning when I got rejections stating that pictures are out of focus or when reviewers where pointing things not really visible at 100%. Not it strikes me that on some site they might see different picture, not the one I uploaded but upsized to maximum resolution.

My first batch was rejected cause I made it too large. My calculations were off and I produced 90MB files :-) Now my second attempt is in QC. I used 5200 pixes for longest side which gives around 51MB

I neglected them but when I checked today there is one download since I started last month. I got only 17 files there but maybe if they pay in Euro it's better to spend time uploading there rather than struggling with sites like IS, FT or BS which got extremely complicate upload process and give me nothing in return.

I am not shooting for microstock yet. I try to upload my photos that sit on hard drive for years a collect dust. I do not want to spend to much time perfecting old pictures so at this point of time I appreciate systems which allow me to do bulk event if rejection rate is high. When I get rid of my "backlog" I will start shooting specifically for microstock. so then I might be satisfied with sites which allow me to upload 10 per week :-)

I stop uploading because of their submission process not pricing structure. I got enough pictures in my queue for couple weeks.

My photos are mainly nature/landscapes. I had mix results with microstock agencies so I wonder I Alamy is worth a try?

My first was rejected cause I probably upsized it too much. I am using Lightroom and I chose 7200 pixels as longest dimension. Later When I check it gives 90MB uncompressed. Is 5200 more like 48MB? I assume Lightroom Export uses Bicubic method cause there is no way to select. I am upsizing from 8Mpix, 3500x2400.

I wonder why Microsoft Office includes images form Fotolia, IStock and StockXpert?

I am using FTP. The post upload process is so time consuming.

SS 80.04%
123RF 9.48%
StockXpert 3.69%
FP 2.95%
DT 2.37%
IS 1.47%

You are right. I just stop uploading as I did for BigStockPhoto. I can resume when I got everything processed here. I must invest time where there is visible result of my efforts otherwise I got bored with it.

Cannot they just buy some smaller agency with good website?

I would consider name change to "submission process/workflow". Obviously when site uses FTP upload process is the same for each one.
Also I would nominate 3 worst:
Istock
Fotolia
SnapVillage
I guess unlucky winners are these one who implement categories in then collection...

I did it 3 years ago. I deleted all my pictures. It's not about sales cause I am not expecting huge numbers at the beginning. I just hate submissions process. All other site are able to give you some tools to submit large batches of photos. Here is just one photo at the time. I know I can open multiple tabs but do they expect user to open 50 tabs all the time? Even if I do that i would not remember state between tabs. It's just too much work to select category for each photo, then scroll down the page (obviously submit button does not fit on the same page) to submit each photo.
