I would think you could do that with any sort of 3D rendering, or even photoshop, if you were patient.

Oh, I can do it, even though it means more work for (what is now) less pay.
I just think it's pointless.
Anyone who can create a vector can produce a reference image, even if they didn't create the original image.
If it was something that would actually protect against theft, it wouldn't bother me so much. But, if someone copies a design to upload it to Shutterstock, asking for a reference image won't stop them.
I feel the same way about this as I did when Wells Fargo asked me to show ID to make a deposit.
(iStock quit asking for reference images some time ago, once they figured that out.)
I already stopped uploading my hand drawn illustrations to Shutterstock when they insisted on a separate property release for each drawing. A property release stating, "this is my artwork, and I am using it with my permission" was no longer enough, I had to attach a thumbnail for each illustration to a new copy of the release. I was not really interested in creating hundreds and hundreds of those things.

Shutterstock has found a new way to annoy contributors.
Asking for a reference image on ALL vectors submitted.
I have no trouble with providing a reference for something derived from a photo, but geometric abstracts?
Apparently they don't see the absurdity of thinking that proves anything. We're ARTISTS, duh!

I have tried selling vectors and photos on Alamy. Never had even one sale. Ever.

All it means is they don't like it. Consider the rejection to be "We don't think we can sell it."

Oh, I had another 25 cent sale. woohoo.

I finally got a response. They tell me the images I don't see in my portfolio are in my portfolio.
Uh huh.
They don't show up in search for me, or for anyone else I have asked to look for the images from their computer.
Now, another six weeks to see if I get a response to my reply that they are mistaken.

I can't help but think that this month would have been better if my Christmas images had actually showed up in search in time to sell. I uploaded them at the beginning of November, and they were reviewed in a week, but have sat in limbo ever since. No chance for Christmas sales.
Maybe it's only a few dollars, but dammit, I need them!
I feel cheated.
If I want to sell any new Summer images, I had better get them submitted right now!

Holy cow, there's a survivor! Live chat got me someone. She couldn't do much, but tell me to be patient. Their excuse is that the Festive Season is causing a backlog.
The backlog apparently started in 2010, but whatever.

I just checked out DesignBold, and I can't figure out how I'm supposed to make money with you. I know the big floaty pages with pop ups and frames and garblespeak is the style, but it still annoys and confuses me.
I didn't like having to sign up to (try to) get the information I was looking for about how to submit images.
I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do to sell things through your site.
I got pissed off when I clicked on "contact", so ask for specifics, and it went to a forum. I tried "support center", and it went to the same forum.
I got REALLY pissed off when I wanted to remove my new account, and there was not a way to do that, the link went to the same forum.
If you want new images to sell people, you're going to have to make a better first impression on the people who make the images.
Don't you dare send me any spam.

Been seeing steady growth from 123. Ahead of DT and not far behind FL for me
I don't see any of your work there.

Has anyone detected a pulse there lately?
A response from support (besides the automated one), an image reviewed, an accepted image being added to the portfolio, a sale?

Bizarre. 100% stolen images. (lots from Shutterstock)
Usually, if you try selling on the same site you stole from, they notice.
341
« on: December 15, 2016, 09:37 »
But, when I try it, I get rejections for similar images.
342
« on: December 12, 2016, 08:58 »
I think they're dead. Anyone else want to poke them with a stick, and see if there's a response?

My most recently approved images are still not showing in my portfolio, after nearly two weeks. I wrote to them asking if they want any more new images, since they don't seem to be anxious to get them up for sale. They have not responded.
My conclusion is that they don't want new images, so, they aren't getting any more from me.

Right now my sales on DepositPhotos are better than my sales on Shutterstock. So, I would say it's worth trying again.

My view on "free wallpaper" is that it is exactly that, and nothing more.
It's free to put on your screen as wallpaper.

At least they don't allow a direct download. If you try to get a free picture, it goes to a registration page, and tries to sign you up for newsletters and ads.

Apparently there's some sort of app you have to use to get all the features of the site but support won't tell me where to get it.
348
« on: October 17, 2016, 10:56 »
I'm going to go look.
349
« on: October 17, 2016, 10:53 »
They seem to be gone, now.

Apparently, you can only properly use the site's features from an iOS. Which is weird, since you can open an account and upload images from a desktop computer.
Does anyone know if they plan to change that, or are they just being mean?
I mean, it seems like such a dirty trick to let people upload from a platform they don't support for any other features.
