It isn't reflecting changes in currency exchange rates is it? Perhaps showing you what different balances are currently worth in your chosen currency?

In fact, when I started the application just now, a new file was installed and 123RF is working fine

As I mentioned in a previous post, I've become a big proponent of microstock submitter in the past couple of months and reviewed how I use it on my blog:

But to answer your question - I keyword in lightroom so the keywords and descriptions are written in the jpeg itself. I then go to Microstock submitter and use the advanced editor to change the order of the main keywords to put them at the front of the list. When you save at this point, those keywords are written into the file again, overwriting the other alphabetic ones. With iStock you then match the keywords to the controlled vocabulary (the program remembers your choices so each file gets easier) but I think this list is just stored in the application. When it logs onto iStock to submit, it will presumably delete the original keywords and send the controlled vocabulary in its place. Not entirely sure how that is done - perhaps in some unused part of the jpeg metadata structure? With Alamy, it takes the early keywords to make them supertags.

Hope that helps

Thanks very much! When I look at the other statement type - monthly - I only see the January results. Is it correct to say that you can export and look at all the sales that went into that total, but you can't see anything about February earnings until the 20th March?

Steve

In the US, they are only obligated to send you a 1099 if you earn more than $600 (at least I think so!)

Some people put the keywords in a separate csv file that they upload and the agency matches the keywords in this text file with the video, and others add the description and keywords directly on the site. There is no way, as far as I know, to get them into the video file itself, although I suspect (haven't tried it yet) that Stock Submitter allows you to do that.

I reviewed my latest experiences with this great application on my blog earlier in the week. http://www.backyardsilver.com/2017/02/stock-submitter-istock-esp-new-alamy-supertags/

I did a review of it back in November. I think it is safe and the passwords are only held on your computer. Here is the review:

My direct email to them worked. I got the stock email about resetting my password, but when I replied to that saying that I hadn't had an invite, it appears my account was reset in the background and it all works now.

Steve

That's great! I still haven't had one reply to my filling in the error reporting form on the ESP website. Did you email their support team directly? Would you mind sharing that email?

Steve

Did this get solved for anyone on this thread. Nothing at all for me - I still get the error message that ESP is not set up when I try to log on, still no email with my unique link, still no contact from Getty/iStock

Steve

I think I am in the same position - no sign of any sign-up email even though I have checked all possible folders including Spam. I did manage to get at user name by saying that I had forgotten it, but all I get from ESP is:

We're sorry.

Your account is not currently set up for ESP access.

I've tried the "contact us if you think this is an error" link but nothing from them so far.

Steve

For some reason I got a 1042-S from them last year but the EIN of 123RF LLC was 99-0375104

And me - I've been kicked out
