Hi all, I found this video from another thread and found it so informative I thought I would share it again. http://www.andersenross.com/rossppt/rossppt.htmlIf anybody knows any other video presentations that could be useful about Macro/Micro it would be great to share them. Here are a few more:

What is a "k"?
k = thousand. The max height or width is the 'k' in resolution. So, 1024x768 = 1k, 2048x1536 = 2k, 4096x2160 = 4k, for example.
I've never seen anyone use that before. It's rather assuming standard aspect ratios, isn't it? So 8k would be around 35MP.
This kind of language is used more with people in cgi. Yes, it is pretty much generalising aspect ratios.
8000 x 6000 = 48000000 = 48MP
8k = 48MP
I'm sorry to all those who read this post.. I was wrong. Here are the proper ratios.

Short and sweet. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Do you need permission to use logos from Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc in your stock?
I have some ideas illustrating social and media networking and I want to include the logos that everyone is familiar with.

What are the advantages of Google+ over Facebook?
The main advantage is that it has integrated the services of Facebook, Twitter and Skype and packaged it together along with everything else that Google offers; search, email, websites, etc.

So to review but with my own situation... I have multiple shots (say 10) of a isolated sculpture. What would you recommend? Upload 2-3, or composite them together or just choose the best one and submit that?

Yes sorry, I'm still very new to microstock so understanding these things way come with time.

These are great photoblogs free for wordpress. Autofocus is my favorite.

Rather than submitting multiple files, perhaps joining the shots into one image document could be more effective? Example: http://www.shutterstock.com/gallery-94301p1.html#id=42588493The downside is of course the decrease in each shot's image resolution. You are sharing the max 8k with 4 subject shots giving each shot about only 2k each. If you wanted each of the 4 shots to have a 4k resolution the image document would come to a killer 16k which would probably bust the downloader's ram when opened. Can you go beyond an 8k upload with Shutterstock?

I've got an invite and joined Google+ today. I like the way Google is trying to integrate the whole internet experience into one platform.
I'm quite sure Google+ is going to take over Facebook - like Facebook did to Myspace. If people did migrate to Google+ leaving Facebook behind who would take the spotlight after Google+? Google is such a giant, I consider it the home of the internet. Perhaps Google+ will draw it to a full stop.

A smart contributor would realize that spreading downloads over an excess of very similar images is not a good strategy when a sort method may include downloads as a variable.
I might agree with that in certain way but DT is going very far on this matter.. they want a picture of a subject or a bunch into a set.. thats isnt going to help stock and also our pockets
How isn't it going to help? Surely the probability of sale would rise due to the amount you can offer (sets). Of course assuming their all good quality useful shots.

Thanks for these comments and tips, their very useful.
I suppose one of the reasons to reject similar photos is to decrease the 'clutter' and boost the amount of variety in search results.

When I did websites and designs I would spend hours looking through stock and finally find some photos close enough to what I wanted but I needed it to be at a slightly different angle or I need the lighting to be different.
When shooting your stock in the studio for example, you can shoot many varieties of the same subject (angle, lighting composition, etc) but although it is useful, do agencies allow you to upload sets of photos rather than just choosing a few from a stack of potentially useful photos.

This is the exact question I was about to ask the forum.. good job someone else asked before me.
How does the TFP alternative work? How much % do you pay them back with each photo sale you make?
I have never used models outside friends/family but if it is TFP why would you pay back to models??
Ok.. I clearly don't understand TFP (time for prints). Could someone explain this one for me? Yes, noob right here..
I dont know much too but I guess if you gave them a CD with pictures so they can use them where they want, I guess thats the job..
I have found a full page answer here http://www.actingmodeling.com/modeling/modeling_tfp.htm
