I feel it will become even more so moving forward with a gravitation towards the hazy shades of grey "midstock" areas ...

just a thought. there is a macro stock section (with just alamy and 'general') should there be a 'midstock' section or even just a "general midstock" top level thread ??
I agree that there should probably be a "midstock" section in the forum to help further distinguish the likes of sites like FeaturePics (Allowing you to set your own pricing) and MostPhotos 12.5 Euro ($18.00) Commissions. Mark

I have noticed that many of the latest/newest images that are submitted already have ratings before anyone even views them. How does that happen?
For example, check here and you will see many of the images already have a score at the bottom of the thumbnail:
http://www.mostphotos.com/search.php?querytype=latest&orderby=imgdate&periodlimit=-1
Anyone know how the scores are calculated?
From what I have been able to ascertain, images are assigned an initial MP Index (usually pretty low to start) and I believe it is at least in part calculated by how well you are established with what you've accomplished with your other images to date. So if you've been averaging higer scores overall then your initial MP Index figure would be slightly higher for new images even before they are voted on. However, images with zero votes are still shown lower than those with votes for the most part. I hope this helps. I will try to find their forum link about the MP Index calculations and post it in this thread ... Mark

The 100% zoom is a really nice feature. I think they've recently improved their watermarks due to this fact. They advertise to buyers that they can actually "see" what they are getting so its important to them. Hopefully this site will gain some steam and we will start seeing some sales as that's why we are there Mark

I am curious ... Who has had any sales at Mostphotos now that they've been out there and active for a few months? I think I remember reading somewhere that a sale there is the equivalent of an EL sale on many of the traditional "micro" sites ... Mark http://markwpayne.wordpress.com

I've seen that comments are fairly common for ratings that are higher or lower on the scales. The seemed to be quite appreciated and most people respond with thanks or appreciation. I hope this helps Mark

You were probably thinking of Istock, the 7-10 SS ones go straight into your portfolio once you pass the approval. Just do the search by newest first and as I said earlier pick portfolios of new members to get a better idea of the current standards.
Thank you sir ! I will do that ... Yes. I knew there was a site that didn't post your application photos. It must've been iStock I had it confused with ... Thanks for the clarification Mark

Yes, you can do that with any portfolio. Still though, I don't see the usefulness of such a venture. The same rules apply to submitting anywhere. Shoot interesting, usable subjects with good exposure and sharp focus. And in the case of Shutterstock, absolutely no noise whatsoever. I don't think there is any secret formula to getting into Shutterstock. It's tough, and it generally takes a few tries before you get it right.
DanP, I did not realize that shutterstock shows their images in chronological order? If this is the case and the first image are actually from the application (I was under the impression that after being accepted you had to submit the images once again and they could still be rejected the 2nd time (I read this somewhere but it could've been in reference to a different site)) then I can and will go to individual portfolios and look at those images.

All,
To help myself and future applicants to Shutterstock ...
I would like to see any of your photos that were initially approved to help you meet your 7 out of 10 requirement for your shutterstock application ...
Thanks !

I have found MIZ's tutorials very useful even though I am using PSE 6.0.

I've had several accepted there now so it seems to work with the webform (very easy) and I haven't added any categories but plan to add them ... but it didn't appear that they were a requirement prior to the images being approved.

ChasingMoments,
I'm afraid I can't help as I've been stuck at 65 images in "pending" ... now I used the web form to get them there. I have no idea why they haven't ever moved anywhere else. I've been wondering if its because I haven't categorized them ...
If someone knows that this has to be done for them to be approved could someone please tell me. I thought after I had uploaded with IPTC data attached through they're web form that all I would have to do is wait until they were approved ... then categorize if I liked ... Please let me know if I am wrong as its been a couple of weeks with those images sitting in their queue ... it could be that they're just way behind on approving new batches of photos ...
Mark
