What agencies does this support? All of the captcha crap at agencies now is why Lookstat switched over to offering more keyword services than anything else these days.

SS, iS, DT and Fotolia.

email them, sure they will answer, very cool app  ;D

It does look interesting but for an 'app' it is kind of expensive although I appreciate it does have a limited market.

I don't understand how it can collect financial or sales data without passwords.

It works similarly to PicNiche. You have to install add-on to your browser and be logged in to the sites for collecting data.

Anybody tried http://www.stockperformer.com/ ?
Does it  work? It looks good from what I read but I've sent my request for trial almost two weeks ago and still no response.

I'm not sure why so many of you are writing about agencies. Yes it's their business, they can do whatever they want, they don't care about us, so why should we care about them and more importantly why wouldn't we care about us, our money? We should be doing what's best for us just as they're doing it for themselves.

I agree. But to me this way seems to be two-faced act. You say - I know we can't agree on pulling our ports from top tiers so let's punish low earners. To sacrifice few dollars a month is really not a heroism. In fact - new sites need more money to start their business while low commissions on iS aren't necessary for financial health of company, it's just pure greed. I don't like commissions bellow 50% either but showing artists power to low earners is like imposing an embargo on Northtern Korea because of human rights and doing business with China at the same time.

Microbius, that actually will save me a lot of time. I thought I needed to rename the eps with the image number of the jpg to upload it to the FTP. You just saved me a ton of hassle. Thanks

Don't forget that you are not allowed to add word "vector" to the keywords before eps file is approved. Your file would be rejected.

« on: February 13, 2012, 15:17 »
Not only review times have changed - before my images were reviewed in two groups - 1. vectors 2. jpg versions together with photographs.
Now raster illustrations are reviewed separately.

Scenario - I borrowed a tire and now the owner say I stole it, what should I do?
Response: You stole a tire and now wants our help?
Next response: We should establish if he did not steel the tire.
Next response: Did he have the right to use the tire?
Next response: I do not think one should borrow tires.
Next response: I never borrow tires.
Next response: Do not make assumptions, the guy must tell us if he stole the tire!
Next response: Show us the tire.....

OP's question is:
I borrowed a tire and now the owner say I stole it. Is it resolved if I bolt them to car of my father? Or change my cars license number?

Many of these shapes and brushes come from DeviantArt. It's obvious that many of the "artists" that give these shapes for free even for commercial use has stolen them somewhere else and made a collection of them. I just saw many Photoshop brushes sets made of images of Lady Gaga. "Free for commercial use" really doesn't necessarily mean that it's free for commercial use.

Someone probably came to conclusion that it is legal to use Getty watermarked images.

Answers from SS forum:

"Just a reminder: reviews can take up to 7 days. If you've been waiting longer than that, let me know and I'll look into it."

"Hi all, I'll check with the team but it's likely that our reviewers will be catching up on reviews soon."

"If your reviews are taking a bit longer, it's likely a matter of our reviewers working hard to keep up with all of our submissions. But we make sure that all submissions get the attention they deserve. Just let us know if it takes longer than 7 days and we'll check on that for you. Thanks!"

With 34 images online I would learn to speak Norwegian and Maori, take part in courses of snowkiting, knitting, programming and welding. I would travel a lot.
After coming back home two or three years later I would check if I have my first 0.25.

Print on Demand Forum / Re: Zazzle, now also holding taxes
« on: January 29, 2012, 03:55 »
The only possibility that would explain the situation is that according Zazzle I don't sell copyright which is 0% but "royalties>industrial>equipment" with 10%.

This thread has reminded me of Lady Gaga one year old copyright issue. It's OT at the moment but it could change one fine day.

It's not that easy at least in my case.

"....we appreciate your concerns about the recent changes to Zazzle's earnings payments. As indicated with your payment, Zazzle is required by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to withhold federal income tax of [10]% from the earnings of all nonresident Sellers receiving U.S. sourced income .......

I tried to explain for a third time that my country has treaty with US to avoid double taxation and that deducted tax should be

Even better limit authors to Photodune and your own legit free sources then you can keep track, levels the playing field too.

ETA if you do this I'm sure a lot of photogs will give permission for free use in previews as it will mean more sales to customers wanting to recreate the same flyer etc.
Good idea. There is no reason why Envato should support officialpsds dot com or other sites by linking to their site if PhotoDune sell images as well. Not mentioning that officalpsds is full of stolen images.

Photos are approved without delay, approval of vectors and bitmap illustrations takes much longer than usually.

did a Tineye on it http://www.tineye.com/search/ce7e2cdfd86cf9c832b4529686d709707b5bbe69/
but they may or may not have or own a licence


I know. But after reading this thread it's unfortunately somehow difficult to believe that any of Envato contributors pays for licence.

Speaking ThemeForest - isn't it Yuri's image? I'm sure that someone paid for EL.

Hmmmm. Do I have to close Photoshop after each save too?
I closed,opened and resaved ten times, and I still don't see any significant difference.

You can use "Save for web" and show them four different images immediately.

There is "Official Dreamstime Partner in Russia" written in footer of page.
Wow - after twenty years I still can read some russian.  :)
