I just received this email from StockRiot: Dear StockRiot Contributors,
It is with great disappointment that we have decided to take StockRiot offline, effective immediately. Due to the state of the economy, we feel that this is not the right time to attempt our long-planned advertising campaign. Therefore, after much thought we are closing our doors with the hope that we may resurrect StockRiot when the economy is more forgiving.
We thank you for your time and contributions. All accounts will be settled via paypal before January. 31, 2009. If money is owed to you and you have not received your payment by this date, please email us to ensure that we have your correct information.
Our sincerest thanks for all your comments, suggestions and support.
The StockRiot team.
[email protected]
Goodbye StockRiot!

Try uploading some images from a friends house or from work. If you still have the same problem, then maybe has something to do with your account on the BigStock server, if not then it is a maybe a problem with your computer setup.
... when using ftp, you need to limit the number of simultaneous connections to 1 for BigStock. I don't know if you can do this with CushyStock FTP function. It is possible to do this with FileZilla.

what type of photos do these sites need? The links on this page may help you a little with what type of images do sell.

It sound like that Lookstat will implement the statistics first for the Big 6 first. Will they also include Cutcaster soon?

GEGL
Important progress towards high bit-depth and non-destructive editing in GIMP has been made. Most color operations in GIMP are now ported to the powerful graph based image processing framework GEGL, meaning that the interal processing is being done in 32bit floating point linear light RGBA. By default the legacy 8bit code paths are still used, but a curious user can turn on the use of GEGL for the color operations with Colors / Use GEGL.
In addition to porting color operations to GEGL, an experimental GEGL Operation tool has been added, found in the Tools menu. It enables applying GEGL operations to an image and it gives on-canvas previews of the results. The screenshot to the right shows this for a Gaussian Blur.
http://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.6.html They worked on the bit-depth with the current version of GIMP 2.6. So it looks like they will improve further on this in coming versions.

I use GIMP for most of my editing. Search Google for tutorials: Search1, Search2If most of your background is close to white, then duplicate your layer and adjust the levels, add a transparent layer and change its mode to Overlay, pick the paintbrush tool and select a soft brush. Reduce the opacity of the paintbrush tool to about 10-20%. Change the foreground color to white. Paint over the area on the transparent layer where the background is not completely white.

Usually StockXpert is super fast, but in the moment it is very slow. I hope that this is only because of the holidays. I have 25 images waiting for approval and 5 of them are from 12/17/08.

Do they only send out 1099's if you had an income over $600 with them in 2008, or is the dollar amount of income irrelevant with them?
They are based in Canada I believe therefor there is no such thing as a 1099.
Isn't Shutterstock and Dreamstime based in the USA?

1. Shutterstock
2. Dreamstime
3. StockXpert
4. 123RF
5. BigStockPhoto

http://snapvillage.com/FAQ.aspx#When%20will%20I%20be%20paid?
When will I be paid?
Once you make $10 in royalties, you will be paid forty five days following the calendar month in which the amount licensed exceeds $10. For example, if your royalty balance is $250 at 06/30/2007, you will receive the full $250 on 08/15/07. If you make royalties in July this will accumulate and go towards your next payment. If your balance never exceeds $10, you will receive your royalties forty five (45) days following the end of the calendar year. So if reached by the end of October >= $10, then you get payed ~ Dec. 15th.

FeaturePics.com with a new subscription model ( read press release) What do you think about it? I only had so far occasional sales there, but with better prices. So will this new subscription model bring sales up?

What does PhotoSpin pay?
There are 2 ways you can participate: you can either receive a 50% revenue split for exclusive images to PhotoSpin or a 40% revenue split for non-exclusive images. In both cases the copyright and the image remain yours, you're only licensing the image to us to distribute (as royalty free) to our customers on your behalf. Each revenue split is based upon the number of total downloads of your images per customer per month. Do I understand this correctly? If a subscriber downloads more in on month then the contributor receives less money per image?

I contacted BrightQube and the answer from BrightQube is that they have not updated the feed from Dreamstime with recent submission. (The image in the example that I gave them was accepted by DT in March 08) Also Dreamstime recently modified their API for them to receive their information, and they have been working to update their system with these modification. They will start receiving the new images addition in the coming weeks. There is asignificant number of images on DT that they have yet to add to BrightQuebe, and they are excited with their new capability to bring in these additional images. They will try to notify me when they think that all images from DT are included in the inventory of BrightQube.

You need to be enrolled in the Alliance and Partnership program. http://www.dreamstime.com/alliancesIn case your are enrolled and your images are not listed at all the partner sites, then you may also want to drop a line at the dreamstime message board at this topic http://www.dreamstime.com/thread_8611If we are not listed at all the partner site because of maybe a bug or other error, then we could miss out on sales.

I cannot find my images from dreamstime in their search (Everyday (blue) search option). Is there something that I need to change in my dreamstime account setting to be listed there too?
