I am completely new to microstock. I do have an acceptance rate of 77% on DT. Only one image rejected for technical reasons. However, SS accepted only 70% out of the few images I hav guye on DT. Micro, I did read that my camera makes soft focus. The noise this camera can produce is just shocking and I shoot with ISO80.

I read the manual several times. Tripod is very sturdy. I just read a review regarding my camera. I read that the Sony RX100M3 takes photos with soft focus. I bought this camera because it is lightweight which is very important me. I had another photo rejected for the same reason. A dish with cooked asparagus. Not overcooked. I focused the tops of the asparagus and be other agencies have accepted it. I put my reading glasses on, I dogged out a magnifying glass and I can't see anything wrong with that photo. I asked someone else as well. Do I really have to buy such a heavy expensive camera like the Sony A7RII for microstock?

I use old model release forms and had no problems. iStock wants a new one for each shoot. That really frustrates me.

There is no forum but they do have a Facebook group. I have not sold one image on there. Many sales are from the people who upload photos there. If you want to buy your own image as print, you need to order it on there website as if you are a normal customer. That way it counts as a sale for them. They then refund your mark up. Nobody knows if it's actual customers buying the images or the photographers themselves. I nearly bought my own image there but wanted a more modern print and did get my image printed somewhere else.

Which camera are you using? You need to save photos highest quality JPEG. I get that rejection reason when I used noise reduction too much. I shoot wih ISO 80 setting but my camera loves to upset me with lots of noise. Too much noise removal leaves artifacts. I am very thinking of buying a better camera even though mine wasn't cheap at all.

I have a Sony camera with a lousy manual. I better turn it off from now on. I just hope I won't forget when I go out to shoot handheld.

Do I need to switch IS off when I take photos of for example food when I am inside the house? I have never switched out off when being inside and having camera on tripod.

Oh, I didn't switch the IS off. Why is that so important? That explains why another one I took with a tripod isn't that sharp either.

I think I need a better camera. My handhold images seem to be better in focus than the ones on a tripod. The handheld image was accepted.

Does soft mean it's not in focus or that I need to add more contrast or detail? I am a little surprised because I used a tripod. Can Topaz InFocus software rescue it?

Did they remove your already accepted photos? Why did they do that? But 1 dollar forr an image? Soon we will to pay for uploading them just like on FAA.

Hello, I was accepted by Shutterstock yesterday. Well, 5 out of 10 photos. I just wanted to share the good news with you. Thank you for all your help. I do have a question. I took a photo of an esplanade with residential buildings. It was rejected for being too soft. How much can I sharpen a photo for microstock? How much detail can I bring out? I thought that i should not sharpen a photo or add too much saturation because the customer will do it. When I make an image for POD I bring out a lot of details. Not quite HDR. I just don't know how much I should do for microstock.

Yes, I noticed. Unfortunately they are selling less and less. They used to sell about 10 images per day but now it's just 4 most of the time.

I sold my very first photo today and it was the first photo I have uploaded. I am over the moon. It was bought in XL and I got 0.25 for it. I have only 4 images on that website at the moment. I still can't believe I sold a photo. Just had to share that with you.

That doesn't sound good. I find it unbelievable that FAA let's you only upload 25 images for free. If you want to upload more you have to pay. I signed up at Crated. They don't sell many products but at least they can read IPTC data. I find it weird that their canvas print has either white or black on the sites. However, they accepted the few images I uploaded and I am delighted about not having to copy and paste. I mentioned it to Photo4me to get an IPTC data reader. They will look into it.

Hello Stockastic, I don't know anything about Zazzle. I don't want to waste my time. Could you let me know please why it isn't good? I make images for people to hang up on their walls. If I do go on holidays I also take travel photos. But I don't want to make designs for clothes on the computer.

Can I use the FTP uploader for Crated? Copying and pasting is soooo frustrating. Photo4me can't read keywords. Are Crated and Zazzle free? I am not paying FAA!

I just read that FAA gives us the option to sell art RF and RM. I have never put my art on a microstock website. I didn't even know that you can. Art should be paid properly. Is there a macrostock agency for art?
