"vos" is interesting, sounds like it's similar to "voc" in Portuguese. Maybe they got it from their northern neighbors in Brazil :D

I don't see much point in it either Adelaide, but  created one anyway, just to get the username. Mine is:

123RF / Re: Got my 1st EL - can't wait till I can see which one
« on: August 10, 2009, 16:52 »
I just had my first EL on 123rf (PEL). I found it in old downloaded report:

Nehbitski, your explanation makes sense. However, as you point out, the programmers have probably done it smarter than that. One would think that they are optimizing the algorithm  for the final resize requested.

Yaymicro / Re: My first sale
« on: August 09, 2009, 23:58 »
After coming from vacation, I was surprised today to see my first sale on YAY for 5 EUR. :) We have a saying that one bird doesn't mean that spring is coming :) but still , it was nice to see the sale.

256
I had a few subscription sales there and couple of regular CanStockPhoto downloads that are a couple of of dollars each. No Fotosearch regular downloads for me yet.

July normal or even slightly better than June so far.

258
The season doesn't affect me, but the time I take my vacations, which in general is not in summer.
Same here. Although I usually still shoot on vacation when it's convenient.

YAYMicro gets my vote. Still no sales there. I only upload because it's easy.

Pissing on the floor is easy too .... but I don't do it anymore!  ;D
I just had to do it, cuz you made it so easy!

:D No problem Larry :)

Still getting sales, BME in June. StockXpert has always been #3 or #4 site for me, on par with FT. It seems like there are more PPD sales now than a couple of months ago.

An interesting comparison (a bit old):

I also use Sandisk. They have always been very reliable, and the speed is good according to some independent tests.

I wonder if the number gets incremented every time some of the multiple personality members cancel their account and reregister. This way we will easily get to 10k soon. :)

June was very good for me, BME on 4 sites. I do see a slowdown for the beginning of July but that's understandable due to 4th of July in the US.

Adobe Stock / Re: Ext lic, you sell many? what makes them ?
« on: July 02, 2009, 20:12 »
I just had one today. It is hard to predict what image will get an EL. I have one image on FT with two ELs and it's an image taken with a point and shoot camera before I even started with stock photography.
I think that ELs on FT should be more common as they are much cheaper than on other sites.

« on: July 01, 2009, 23:32 »
Adelaide, I don't believe there is a difference except in the ratios of radius, threshold, and amount.  The ratios determine whether the effect will look more like sharpening or increased local contrast.

This link, especially section "In Practice" gives some useful values and more details:

(It's not sharpened, it just has increased local contrast)


Pardon my ignorance, but what is "local contrast"?

Adelaide,
Perhaps this link helps:

SmartFTP works fine for me so far.

I noticed the same on SS. I guess I don't have enough volume on other sites to notice the difference. Also, usually on SS I get some more OD sales close to beginning and the end of the month. It might be just a coincidence.

Working fine, and it still looks the same.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: 5 Days!!
« on: June 30, 2009, 20:33 »
No issue here too. I had sales in the last few days as well as in the whole month. June was the BME for me.

Yaymicro / Re: Yaymicro Third Party Sales

No feedback here either.

I counted 18 agencies total, 15 with regular uploads. I didn't even realized it was this many, but I can do it because I'm not submitting hundreds if images every week. I don't see much overhead also because additional time spent submitting to a few more sites is negligible.
