Uh, it's the "154 Premium Stock Photos From Stocksy and Snapwire" I'm a bit concerned about.

Lol, and look, they're partners with none other than the company "invested" in by an old member, Scoopshot:

Yes.  Actions are just sets of things you can do anyways in PS.  Nothing proprietary.

I can only comment at my going rate of $150 an hour, due to my cost of living.

Now that the RF stock business has been saturated, I would say a reasonable earning with 5.000 travel images will be 100$ per month, not more. If the quality is medium/low I would say a lower ammount. There is too much competition!

Try with a self hosted site. Probably there you will earn something more
Do you mean $100 per day?  If you really mean $100 per month with 5,000 images you are doing something wrong.

If "travel images" means "stuff I randomly shot on my vacation", then it's probably about right.

"He currently sells the rights to about 50,000 images a year, and has licensed over 500,000 during his lifetime."

Ah, I remember when I licensed 500,000 images. Lol.

You sign up and use Canva to make designs for your work or other needs.

If you want to be a contributor, then you need to go through a different process, and, unfortunately, Lee seems to be in absentia lately, so not sure how that works these days.

How could it be greed?  Obviously people are going to notice.  And they paid out more than they took in.  And they got lots of bad press here.  What benefit would come from it?

1786
Ok, I personally don't believe fotolia did that on purpose and just hoping no-one will notice it.

I don't either.  I know they've done some things in the past, but I attribute this to incompetence, not malice.

1789
Good.  Guess I didn't get any.

Hello all, I wanted to follow up to let you know that we have finished applying the sales from the Dollar Photo Club reactivation into the affected Fotolia accounts. The sales have been added as additional full resolution credits sales in addition to the Dollar Photo Club sale/commission that was already applied.

If you have any specific questions or concerns please feel free to write to me directly: [email protected]

Kind regards,

Mat Hayward

Specifically, how would one know, looking at https://us.fotolia.com/Contributor/SoldContents ?

What if they want an ocean explorer?

What if they want an ocean animal?  Should every fish have "ocean"?

I've thought about this and adventure, coast, continent and ocean are all perfectly reasonable keywords to describe one of the greatest sea going explorers of the last century and isn't a statue of a person fairly symbolic?  Thanks for the critique though ;) ;)

You aren't describing the person's life history in the image, you're describing the image.  How is one supposed to find an image of the ocean, if every image of a fish on a plate has "ocean" because it came from the ocean?  A peace sign is "symbolic".  A statue of a peace sign may be "symbolic".  A statue of a person isn't necessarily "symbolic" just because it is a representation of something/someone in a medium.

I'm not being mean, but if a buyer wants a picture of this guy, they're going to search by name.  If they come to SS expecting a wikipedia of every subject on earth, and "coast adventure" should bring this up, then they aren't doing their job.

And you don't have to justify your key-wording to anybody. If the agencies don't like them, they will tell you. Well, at least IS will. In fact you don't have to justify anything to anybody.

Of course.  Do whatever you like, and don't worry about advice from others.

This is why any attempts to organize never work.

You could get by in the old without choosing?  It never let me.  I was happy with the drop to one set.

Can I get this set not to be "pending cut out"?  They're meant to have the blue background as the copyspace.

Those are just fun family pictures.  I wouldn't call them stock, though.

   I think there is a flaw in your theory. Most serious microstock buyers don't use Google to search for an image to buy. They use their favorite agency. In fact, most of the big advertising agencies have contracts with Shutterstock, iStock, Dreamstime, etc. The search results for an image within the agency, doesn't involve Google.

That's what I've always thought.  I don't imagine many serious buyers use google to find an image.

BTW, is there a way to see "rejected" or something files?
Uploaded contents
    1,764
Validated contents
    1,677

Where are the missing files?

OT: click on the little monitor icon on the top line when looking at "my files", that let's you choose to see deleted files.

Thanks.  I don't know why they call them "deleted" if they're "refused".  And I have no idea why they are "refused".
