Set of mostly my images is also here

Following their movies and didn't even check for long time but few days ago I did and im confused ...

Im still silver , and on stats page my sold files are 500+ sales over 10 000 , so Im wondering , shouldn't I be gold or there is some subs trick or what ?

Under "sold files"  are subs already calculated as 1/4 of the sale ?





 

Ill will probably spend few months in Indonesia after new year so maybe something would be possible , I have to check in embassy how the things stands with visas

Ok , yesterday i worked half day on 2 illustrations, and I wanted to use transparency. I saved my work as eps10 files.

Today when i open them again , all layers were lost (everything was in 1 layer)  , all elements were full ungrouped , and background which was an radial gradient lost
distance between colors and only showed white. In bridge my thumb looks normal.

I used only transparency and blend modes (multiply i think) , and using illustrator CS4 , i saved files as eps10

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

If wonder if it is ok  for sites with limits like veer or stockfresh to upload tons of images and than adding little by little as limit allows u

For Veer, it is ok. You can upload all and then submit a few at a time.
Stockfresh, I don't know as I am still waiting for application approval.
(Shutterstock has no limits but deletes your unsubmitted files after a few weeks).

Hm , Im got this message on isyndyca:

The last upload to your channel failed with the report that your quota has been reached. Credits have not been removed from your account, however subsequent uploads would fail until you resolve this issue.
Consequently, your channel Veer� has been temporarily disabled.
Please visit your channel account to correct the matter by submitting your uploaded files first and making sure you free up your quota for further uploads


So I guess they have limits , if Im understanding this right , only I just back from a party so I better see again tommorow

For me to , i really liked them , made my life much easier , and really don't understand why that happened.

I understand the argument that everyone has the right to complain about changes and everyone deserves a fair commission, etc.  Which I 100% agree with.  There's a faction here that says downloads don't matter, and there's a faction that says that past performance does matter in judging the validity of the argument.  I do believe that DLs and tenure do matter because the statistical reference point that a person that has 38 downloads over 1 year or 500 downloads over 5 years carries much less weight than someone who is at 12000 dls over 3 years or something like that.  Experience is a huge player in almost any job and this is obviously no different.  

I'm not saying that people with crappy ports or low dls do not have valid arguments, and in a lot of cases they do, what I'm saying is that when people who are predicting the future from a such a small reference sample its hard to take that prediction seriously given the lack of data/experience to back up claims.

Then there's always those that just go off the deep end anyways....whatever it is...this off topic reply is just to try to incorporate the idea that dls and experience and portfolio exposure do matter a bit more than many peopel here are willing to admit.

So , if that's the case , why u wrote that i don't know what im talking about ?  

I believe that numbers say my portfolio is side to side with yours,  even on IS only ?   Both +1000 images both about 9000 dl and we started almost at same time ?

So please tell me you base your claims not to loose or even rise your % on what facts exactly ?

Please, please ,  tell me what u know and I don't , any fact  that is going to rise my optimism


Thank u

you are dumb.  i said don't tell me stuff about me losing commission because you don't know anythign about me or my portfolio or where my credits are or how my portfolio performance at iStock has increased over the past year hence my ability to stay at the same level with a good chance at rising up to the next level.  How hard is that to understand? its not rocket science, but given the math abilities displayed lately.....

I know u have 9000 downloads in 4+ years and I don't have to be a rocket scientist to make a conclusion , and I agree Im dump, only  because I try  get into conversations with arrogant liars.

Now go find someone with 100 dl in few years and cure your complexes there.

let me remind you that i didn't bitch about 20% or whatever.  and instead of bitching i kept working at it

Maybe you should have bitched and not been such a compliant little doggie? Now they hold all the cards (because you gave yours away). Remind us what % of your microstock income you'll be losing for your loyalty? That Gold canister you've been striving for isn't going to mean much now is it?

I won't lose anything.  In fact, I may actually gain the next level Maybe you shouldn't have been so compliant either. 

Please , but please

So , why are you writing obvious lies , if your sales are 4 times up u still want make nothing , actually you are down like most of us.

This is childish

who are you to say what I make? year over year I'm up.  Every month is pretty constant with the previous, and i have no issues with my sales.  The 'summer slowdown' isn't that bad for me, and whatever you want to believe you can. 

WHy do I need to have more respect? I have plenty of respect for a lot of people in this forum, especially those that deserve it.  its obvious that 0 dls over there doesn't have any for anyone else.  I clearly haven't attacked dgilder for his decision to remove his portfolio.  While I may not agree with it, I have been, I blieve, respectful about disagreeing. 

Childish is making assumptions that you don't know anything about.  So believe what you want, but don't tell me to have more respect. 

Ichiro,  m8 , you know I have nothing against u or nobody , but how can u say u are not loosing nothing , and that u might actually go up ?

What are u saying , that u had  less than 10 000 dl in so many years and now you wont be affected or your part is going to stay the same ?

Its not assumption , its a fact , you will be downgraded , and for same % you'll have to work much much harder then now ,  and only contributors know
how many hours we invested in our work with only one goal , and then they lift the bar in a second and u have to jump like u never thought its possible
to stay at the same level.

Man , somewhere deep inside u know most people here are right , please don't try to trash them with empty theories and impossible endings.


If u really believe what u say , hats down m8 , you are are hard worker and u deserve to come where u headed to , but it certainly wont be easier , not for u,
not for me , probably not for anybody.

I was for that last time we discussed about that , and I'm even more for something like that now , so count me in.

I like more the idea to start from nothing than to try to buy existing site , but its not so important.   

Sorry  if im jumping in , but today i got e-mail with my weekly update , then i saw my batch was finally aprowed.

When i login on site I just cannot find where I can see my earnings and how to request payout.

Can someone tell me please

Thanks
