Shoot Raw and convert to sRBG for the web.
I've posted this link before. Pretty much answers the question.

I think you need to develope a style. You are all over the place in subject matter. How do you think of yourself? Are you to be remembered for your landscapes, food, wildlife, aircraft, or isolations? Pick one or two and let that be what you are known for.

Photo Critique / Re: Are these Images to "Red"?

Just dragging to my Desktop and not even opening in PS, I type Command-I (get info) and get this:



Once I convert it to sRBG and save it, the Color space in Command-I changes to sRBG.
Can't explain why others are seeing different.

I never trust Save for Web in PS. Can be buggy.

I opened your images and found that the Color Profile is Adobe RGB (1998). You need to convert your Pofile to sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
Posting images on the web in Adobe RGB will wreak havoc on your color. Only use Adobe RGB when submitting for print.

I adjusted the red in Camera Raw and converted the Profile.

PantherMedia. No growth, hard to upload, rejections increased with no explantions of why. I just deleted my whole portfolio.

hi, is there a way to batch edit price? I know one can set the default price during import but how about existing images?


It was driving me crazy, but I finally figured out how to change existing images. Go to Dashboard and click on Portfolio. Hover your curser over an image, and an edit option appears:

According to Alexa.com visits to Dreamstime's site have dropped 21.62% in the last 3 months and global pageviews have dropped 29.24%.

Not enough smilars.

Visit Dreamstime. We offer less choices!

iStock is still unavailable even after update.

I always strip out the camera data anyway. Eliminates rejections claiming an image at such a big size couldn't come from whatever camera.

Anybody else see this?

Actually, if you start off with very hi-res photo the results are much better. But you can't start with a small 500x500 photo and expect miracles.

Everything's negotiable. Just find a price you are comfortable with.

   I think he is referring to Perfect Resize 7 Pro. It's the updated version of the old Genuine Fractals. The claims of this program are wildly exagerated and would never pass quality control for any upsizing past 150%  Anybody that's ever fooled with it will quickly realize it's limitations. Images would be quickly rejected for overfiltering.

500x500 to 25MP......impossible.
Here's an example using Perfect Resize 7 Pro

Small size with watermark and low rez so it cannot be blown up without pixelation.
Any image can be upsized without any loss of detail whatsoever they have software that does just that and can take a 500x500 image up to easily a 25MP image that is perfect.

Example please. Show us that "perfect" 25MP photo that was upsized from 500x500.

If you Google the reviews for PS6 you will find most reviews like this:

Automated image correction
"I know this sounds like sacrilege, but for the first time the auto corrections are really, really, really good.

So good that I found myself rarely touching levels or curves anymore. Adobe achieved this with some help from statistics: first, they made hundreds of people manually correct thousands of images for perfect presentation. Then, they got all the resulting histograms and curves into a database that is built into CS6. Then, they created the logic to apply this knowledge to your images automatically. That way, images with similar information will automatically get the optimal treatment, without the user doing anything all.

I know. It sounds crazyand I know some fellow Photoshop nutters will slam me for thisbut you really have to try this. The new engine works in Curves, Levels, and Brightness And Contrast panels."

   Of course if you have a better correction feel free to post it.
This photo is so good, as it is, that it only needs the the slightest simple tweak just to get it in front of a different reviewer.


Even though it has improved a lot with newer versions I still never use auto Danny, never have, and would not recommend using it on a daily base, it makes one lazy and does not add to experience, especially for those new to post processing.
Of course for the more experienced it's a quick fix and justified ;)

Never say never! In this case, it works. There will always be exceptions. It's just one of many options to explore and serves as good starting point.

Use Auto Levels and resubmit. Include a note that it is a resubmission and that you adjusted the lighting. You'll probably get a different reviewer.




No I would not use Auto levels here. I would use the curves for highlights and shadows, and move out sampling with the small pipetes, thats the only perfect way, never just press auto, it will just give an average adjustment.

"NB: I couldn't help noticing the "great app" and "+1" brigade following the many threads that were spammed. Could they be in some way related?"

That was me making the comments before I realized they were 2 year old threads. I went back and deleted my comments before the threads were removed. Sometimes I'm an idiot.

We are planning to support all agencies that are in this business.

Hope that includes Alamy.

p5 now accepting photos, and you can set your own price!

Thats put a cat amongst the pidgeons!

didnt they partner with 123rf? if i have work on 123rf that is mirrored on p5 will that cause a conflict of interest??

I see my portfolio there even though I never uploaded anything. But there is no way to set your own price. My highest resolution images are being sold for $10.

sure there is way, you just need to upload on their website, like many said in this topic files are there from 123rf

There is no need to upload anything. My whole portfolio is already there. Maybe you can explain the steps to set prices. I can't find it.

   "Step 2: Tag your files with info, including a description, keywords, and a price."  How do you do this?
I think this info has been locked in by 123rf and can't be altered.
