If you're looking for a specific photo of, say, an orange, type oranges in the search box. You'll end up with more than 12000 photos with orange in their keyword... And the first orange might be in the 3rd page!
Now try a search with oranges in the lightbox search box and you will find a lightbox of oranges photos which contains only photos of oranges.
Lightboxes are usefull because in most cases, someone had already picked good shots of a given subject. Not true all the times but useful!

From what I understand, I will not receive any form of interest from my contribution; and it is ok for me.
But I can't see anywhere how much the "receiver" will pay for the loan. I sincerely hope that the loan will be interest free; but then how this organization will maintain its operation?

Wow!
This shows us the power of the web when it is used wisely...

I use photoshop for editing. Irfanview for IPTC data. Might not be the most efficient way, but I like it.
If you already use Photoshop for editing your photos, why don't you edit IPTC data with it? Are there some advantages that I didn't see in using Irfanview? Claude

Click on upload your photos and then you will have access to tabs, click on rejected. They should be there (if they're rejected  ) Claude

Interresting. But when I look to my sales, I can hardly see a trend... In fact, when one of my photo sells well, it sells well on every site (and when it doesn't, it doesn't on any site  ). Claude

Thank you Adelaide, So from what I understand, in FT, when you search for a photo, only the keywords that are of the same language than the search terms are used? I guess you're right, categories must be used in some secret way to show results... And I still don't like putting my photos into categories!  Claude

They don't actually translate keywords into the many languages, but translated search terms.
But you don't specify the category when you do a search, so even if they translate the search term before doing the search, categories are useless... If the answer you are reffering to is not too far, I would appreciate to read more about this. Thanks Adelaide Claude

And could anybody tell me what these categories are for??? Honestly, are they useful for anyone? I don't even know how to make a search using categories (in fact, I don't care!)... Maybe that their utility is to slow down the process of uploading  Claude

I use on a regular base Auto-bracketing, about + or - 1.5 to 2 stops.
I re-discover manual focusing with the "Live View" of my new 40D. It's amazing how it can be usefull, you can enlarge 10 times the image on the screen and then manual focus live on the screen, and right on the spot you want!

I don't get it... A guy is telling everybody that he stole 186$ worth of stock photos??? Is he giving it away? Is he selling it? It's a shame  Claude

Is there a way you can post the page here? Seems that in Canada we are not allowed to see that page!!! I don't think pasting the page here will break any law?  Claude

I can tell you that many of the images that are rejected for the "we do not need these kind of photos" reason go beyond subject issues. Usually it's subject, technical, lighting, and compostion, and many of these images seem to be the environmental snapshot taken during the stroll along the beach, in the park,etc.
Steve, Thank you very much for taking the time to inform us; I really appreciate. But even if I do recognise that my technique needs improvement (I'm working hard on it ), the photos you refused were not of the type you're reffering to... Some of these shots were taken from under the boom of a container crane, where, believe me, you don't want to scroll along...  Anyway, as I said, I respect your decisions, these shots already sells on other sites. Claude

In my opinion, if you have the $$$, then go for the 40D. Or go for the 400D and if you really like it, change for the 40D within a year. Your 400D will still have a good resale value so this could be a "smart" decision. I just changed my 350D for the new 40D and I found the 40D to fantastic. Compared to the 350, it goes farther on every aspect. I don't regret my move Claude

I think that StockXpert, like all the others, must be strict on technical issues. We will all benefit from the high standards they impose to us.
But what I do not accept are rejections based on poor arguments like "we do not need these kind of photos" or so.
They don't buy photos, they sell them! If a photo is technically ok, then give it a chance! If it is a matter of storage, then discard all the photos with 0 dl after 6 or 12 months; these photos do not sell...

I had the same experience with them. After asking, they told me that they were waiting for me to send a copy of my passport as a valid ID.
Which I did and 24 hours later everything was ok.

My rejected photos spread from 4499211 to 5098061.
May be I should wait few weeks and re-submit them?
Anyway, back to my camera I go...
