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

Newbie Discussion / Re: What are realistic expectations?« on: June 05, 2015, 13:22 »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!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. 1783

"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. 1785

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?

I don't either. I know they've done some things in the past, but I attribute this to incompetence, not malice. 1787

The sales have been added as additional full resolution credits sales in addition to the Dollar Photo Club sale/commission that was already applied. Specifically, how would one know, looking at https://us.fotolia.com/Contributor/SoldContents ? 1792

Newbie Discussion / Re: What are realistic expectations?« on: June 01, 2015, 10:38 »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. 1794

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. 1796

General Stock Discussion / Re: Google has sunk the entire stock market« on: May 27, 2015, 09:55 »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. 1800

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