Samsung and sharp are the digital leaders in HD screens for both TV and computers.

And all day today cant get to the site on Firefox but can on IE.

So where is this so called form at?

I see no forms?

They also resemble the transformer movie small creatures.

Can you say shoot it?

I had a friend whose Dad worked for the railroad and he used to make people out of the railroad spikes doing all kinds of things like a baseball player and another sitting on the crapper reading the paper some real nice stuff all cut and welded up and then painted all done on the thing that the spikes were driven into to hold the track done.

Keep it up and create stuff then shoot it and sell it both in images and as the original pieces as well.

Anyone else?

I cant even get to the home page on Firefox much less get to login!?

Just tried IE and it is all goofed up!

What a mess{:o(

Hi everyone,

Just to chime in on this one point: downsizing will only hurt your sales and the overall community.  I'll explain why.   

Shutterstock has over 550,000 customers, ranging from freelance graphic designers working with a variety of clients to high-end advertising agencies and publishers who buy images in volume.   Some of those customers buy individual images, some buy image packs and others buy images via the subscription model. 

The point of uploading large (or your original) file sizes is to make sure that your images are suitable for the widest variety of customers and widest variety of uses, irrespective of how the image was purchased.

For example, some advertising agencies will buy images under agreements that allow for a royalty of up to $120 per download.  If you upload smaller images that fail to meet an advertising agency's requirements, you'll either leave them frustrated or turn them off to your portfolio.

As others have pointed out, it's in your interest to try to capture the widest variety of sales from customers already transacting at Shutterstock, which means providing high quality files suitable for the widest variety of end uses.

Best,

Scott
VP of Content
Shutterstock

Still not fully understood on this issue.

The thing is, is that there is a discussion about this on SS and it seems and appears to be that most of the large SOD sales are not from "Larger Files" as you have stated but most of the $93-$120 sales are in the 4-6MP size range and from images that were downsized?

And as we know that a 4MP can and will be upsized by 4x by SS making it a 16MP size there is nowhere that shows a 18MP that will be upsized 4x making it 72MP.

Can we get a little more clarification please?

The way you have stated it, it would appear that people submitting large full size files would be the ones getting the large SOD's when in all actuality it is the ones who are downsizing their files that are getting the large SOD sales?

Where have you been !!! How can you miss this ?

And from someone else again.

It's not illegal, and in fact, every single contributor to iS agreed to it the last time they changed the ASA. (Remember, a little over a year ago, when you had to agree or your account would be deleted?) Did anybody read the changes? They were clearly stated and iS covered themselves by doing that. Don't you think they have an army of lawyers figuring this stuff out for them? The changes said they were taking away contributors rights to opt out of any partner agreements, and pretty much said the agency can negotiate any license, for whatever price they want, and you will get your 15% or 20% or whatever. And that's what you get. 20% of a "special extended license" that was negotiated with Google. If this goes to court, G will likely win since all their contributors agreed to these terms. The only thing I can see that might get them in hot water is the stripping of the exif data. In any case, lawsuits take years to settle and you can't unring the bell once your images are out there for free.

It looks like Jon Oringer made a huge impact with his blog posts on Getty as well 

Link?

His latest blog post on why exclusivity doesn't work. I don't have it, but there's a thread in the forums

Oh OK I have that one already thanks.

None unless when the property was sold they also sold the copyrights to it as well.

Meaning if you bought it there would have been a clause added that you not only purchased the property but you also purchased the rights to it as well.

I wonder if they'll start waterproofing cameras with this stuff at the point of manufacture in future:
