The forums are not always easy to navigate.    I have done searches and found nothing.  Was not a matter of not spending time looking.  Thankfully several members here we helpful and sent me where I needed to be and / or made constructive suggestions. 

Make sure that you have done your tax form and that you have chosen payment method.  Double check on the payment method  I did not get paid and had done payment method -- but it had disappeared.  No problems since that delay with first payment.

Do I need to create an account on Adobe stock to do this?  I use Adobe PS LR etc but only Adobe stock via Fotolia?

The ability to edit and correct typos would be reason enough to crate an acct and then synch.

I think a lot depends on images and the style of imagery.  My results are not the same as the list order.

Each agency might have a different set of clients.  Some might like bright happy images, others darker images with richer color.  I now that some sites reject some of my images for not artistic or commercial appeal-- bit those mages do sell well with other agencies.  Some of my images get ejected for cropping but in an artistic way the crop does work and sells well on other sites.  Perhaps that sight has clients looking for something more cutting edge that the typical formula?

In any case, my sales volume do not follow the order of this list.  Some Low earners are much better for me than middle tier as well.

I am uploading image by individual image on Istock rather than FTP.  0% of the time it comes up with busted image icon and having to try to kep o uploading.  Anyone else?    Never had this issue before ut no it is happening with every image.

I think the horrible weekend reviewer on SS are now working for Bigstock.  Every once in a while I get that person who rejects everything (inc. ones accepted at SS and elsewhere).   

Coming from an artist background, I find the poor lighting rejection on SS sometimes helpful and at other times annoying esp. as my more artistic use of light sells well on another stick agency.

ok thanks, I will take out the logo. 

Wow, the implications of branding some living thing with a logo from a medical device is really creepy!!!  So in effect, the living being loses their rights to autonomy simply by wearing a device.

I am not talking about a photo of the logo but a photo of the person or animal going about their life with the medical device that has a tiny logo on it (from company not opposed to medical device being photographed or photos sold of patient going about their life with device and willing to sign release). 

yes if the image is declined, then they go into free section for acceptance or rejection.  If you do not want t give away images, make sure the default does not change on you because it does.  The only way hen is to delete them unless hey remove it for you once.  It has chaned on my from No to yes on free section in he middle of an upload session so double check.

Write a note explaining where it was taken (wilds of AK) and no property release needed and attach the note as you would a property release.  Even better, if you happen to have a panorama kind of view of the area where they were taken,  add lettering to the image explaining that.  I have done this for both wild animals not at zoos and sporting events held at parks (took picture of park before equipment there) and that helped the reviewer make the distinction.  Somewhere on their forum a reviewer gave this suggestion and it really helped me.

I do not agree with the not suitable for commercial use some sites use to tag some images.  I have had some of those become good sellers with other agencies.    Sometimes one can learn from rejections and other times, it just better to move on and put more effort into the agencies that click best with one's work.

I had that happen.  Check-- sometimes it is for files that were rejected and the 2nd notice is an approval/rejection for the free file section.

If you do not want your files in the for FREE section, it is very important to check each and every one because the default changes to yes quite often without us ever doing anything.  I wish thy would fix that.  If they are for free, about all you can do o prevent that is delete them.

I am due to be paid this month.  Made the cut off, money was withdrawn from balance at beginning of the month.  In one place they say payment on the 20th give or take and another place around the 25th.  Still no payment in Paypal.  I now it is automatic.  I did the tax info right.  So now what?

I do not mind Alamy's keywording process.  I like the next and previous image directions.  Much easier than the agencies where you web upload and have to go one by one without being ale to see the others uploaded in same batch.
