It's not my case I think. The keywords were random and were removed 6/50 in several pictures, the same number.

f.i. In a winter landscape

outdoors,winter and four more, all relevant.

They were not repeated. Maybe winter in title.

Wide panorama view of a row of evergreens and other trees, covered in fresh snow from a Winter storm. Peaceful, quiet open space in front and sky. Copy Space

background, beautiful, branch, cold, copy space, covered, day, evergreens, fresh, landscape, nature, new, no one, open, outdoor, panorama, peaceful, rural, rustic, scene, scenic, season, snow, snowfall, snowy, storm, tree, trees, weather, white, winter

Not missing in mine. What were the four words? Like Outdoor and outdoors? Plural and singular? Not that, that should matter, but just wondering.

No I'm not missing words that I know. I don't have time to look through thousands of images, even if they did change words. Just thinking, wouldn't snow and trees and landscape always be outdoor?  I can see words I should have included as well.

They were deleted with no reason. Same number in several different pictures.
Different words but the same number of keywords.

Looks like a bug.

Have copied again all words for the pictures I have seen. I'm not going to revise more than the last batch, just 5 o 6 were wrong in 40, I think.

Hi.

Some of my keywords are missing on SS.

Is it normal?

Hi.

I have a doubt.

Since the very first time I use to include "editorial use only" and "illustrative editorial" in all my editorial files on SS. I really can't remember why, maybe read about it when I registered... maybe some guidelines changed, don't know...

But I have realized that there are two types of pictures in this category.

My question is: Do you use these keywords in documentary editorial ones? Or just "editorial use only"? or none or another one?

Do you think it's a problem to have keyworded all of them as "illustrative editorial"?


Thank you for your answers.

I have a new one: "this picture is already in our collection". Not similar one, the same one 

So, they don't save metadata and is an AI system.

 

Same problem here from southern Europe.

Now it runs ok.

You need a will. Gonna make mine this year.

Hello,
Reading this forum it looks like if an artist wants to leave his/her accounts (rights to images, footage, etc.) to a successor he/she needs to make a will/testament in advance. Just a death certificate would not be enought for a relative to be in possession.
Does anybody have any experience with that matter? What should a contricutor do? Just go to a notary?
If somebody has a sample document to show I'd be grateful!

I have a will�written by an attorney and signed by me�that bequeaths to a specific person ownership of my photos/videos, including the right to sell and/or license them, as well as the same provisions for my novels.

If you want to make sure what happens to the intellectual property that you create, you'd better spell that out in a legal will. Don't count on a death certificate to do that job.

Do you detail in your will the future owner of the rights or do you just appoint the heir? I mean, the rights are a separate part of your will?

My question is because in my country you can just appoint a heir of all your belongings, but I'm thinking to make a note about this for an easy reading for the agencies in case.

Sorry for my English.

Work with the Force.

SS and BS for the program review.

A lot of stupid duplicate work.

Thanks for the info.

Don't know what to think. Here for one year and my best selling agencies are SS, BS (very low commisions) and IS (just six months on IS but second one in sales and gonna beat SS soon). The problem is when you look into the IS commisions. Best money ones are SS, Alamy (few sales) and IS.

I think that the controlled vocabulary on IS is helping me, it is not an advantage to english native users. That's the reason to my increasing sales there, I think. I use to set the 49 keywords.

AS is not doing well to me, six times less than SS, close to DS in downloads and money. In fact I have less downloads and more money on DS.

I'm thinking in stop uploading to the small ones (BS, DP- almost dead-, and DS) to get bigger ports on SS, AS, IS and AL. Maybe for a huge unlimited amount of pictures (I shot really a lot when I travel) is the best option.

Anyway is useful to share all the stats.

Microstock, every day it's a party.

Mine doesn't show well the new downloads.
