make the sea deeper, the clouds and mountains higher, and most importantly bring the female with the umbrella to the closer scrutiny by  male reviewers.

yes, that's  what i use LR + CS2.

most of 123rf are subs and credit sales at $0.50. 123rf  from all the big 7 they pay the least and also dls are not frequent. When SV, FP or some other site will be in the big 6-7 I am to stop to upload to 123rf. I think the only way we can influence prices is to support the sites that pay more. By uploading to all 10 sites, we encourage some to make money at our expense. Do many people do same two jobs one for $50 an hour and the other for $.50 an hour in hope to earn more? that how we behave by uploading to all the microstock sites.

for me they are at 6th place and BigStock is ahead of them.

check compete.com. it shows number of visitors. IS is growing, StockXpert is growing, FT is growing, SS is declining.

I think I understand Trebuchet. He was not accepted at SS and on his retries was resending to them images approved on failed attempts to be admitted. And again they rejected  some of the previously approved images. But the will power  was strong and he got in ... 

best of all systems is when buyers vote with euros.

this month is slower for me. the best month was the first one when I uploaded 600 images. I read somewhere that before uploading twice a month was good enough to sustain downloads, but now even once a week is not enough.

last two batches results: 30 of 32 admitted, 10 out of 11 admitted. I do not know if is due to the complaint I sent to them about 7 out 8 images rejected. No response from support. Glad to be lucky 2 times out of 3 then.

if i had just one image, it would make sense to join a site a day ...

thanks, I think you post have rekindled interest in FP for many.

very strange. I am both new  to photography (a year) and to microstock sites (less then a year). fotolia has accepted 812 of my 1251 photos. for the first few months I had no idea about proper lighting, keywording, or isolation. Still they accepted 150+ images.

I think FT is easy to get images in. I have had strange rejections from them also. I wrote to the support, and that stopped. May be just a coincidence though, they never replied to my complaints. Do not give up on FT, they are doing better and better.
