YOu can change when ever you want. You can also bulk change I think. I changed all mine to $5 when the resize happened.

My guess is Auto means they did it and probably stuffed up. Manual means you have manually DA'ed.

I have raised to $50. Never had one before or after price rise.
A email to admin will get them all changed. 529

I have just had one rejected from the executive que. The best thing about the email is they accepted other images contained this copywrite scupture (mine was the most abstract though it did have the name in the title) and said they are looking into it. i will check in 2 weeks time (if I remember and if they haven't removed the others, i will email in a complaint. All I want is consistancy.
snem - My guess is they will reject yours. Dispite the fact any copywrite period would have ended Chellyar - will probably reject yours too. Is it anything famous? or just a generic toy? 530

I do as Chellyar does.
The new column will help as i started by DA highest sellers (dont sell any more), then by accident, by most recent sale (didn't realise I had changed view) and more recently by date (the most sensible). This will mean I can do similar ones at once and not lose track of what I have done. 531

I do raw in DPP, edit in elements 2 and keyword in Pixview. works well
I understand you could do all in one with PS CS but I cant comment though as I dont have it. 533

Leaf - hes done it once and he has done it again. i beleive they did some changes at some point that disambiguated the images again after people had dis-ambiguated but I am not sure if he was effected by taht.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Metadata for NEWBIES« on: November 09, 2006, 12:14 »
THe main feilds in Pixvue are the title, discription and keywords. All sites should pick these up though some images just refuse to work (I have about a 5% failure rate with pixvue). it will only work on iStock if you use an uploader tool sucha s image manager or theplugins to appeture etc.
The full version of photoshop might be the best if you have that many as there are good batch tools and processing can be done in the same program rather than using several. 535

berryspun - you must mark as public, have more than 20 photos AND have at least 1 photo not by yourself

I received a similar email when a buyer wanted an EL. So enabled EL for all and got the sale.
Many people aren't comfortable uploading RAW so that is a decision you will need to make. Search on the DT forum and you should find a thread discussing peoples thoughts and concerns on uploading RAW. Someone here might alos pipe up too. 538

FreezingPics - You may be right except you would probably run out of a supply of photos in the first week, and that is if only one keyworder signed up. (you would be doing 2000photos pw and earning $400)

Fintastique - I think you somehow managed to post on the wrong thread - this is the fotolia new promotion thread, not the DT keyword thread.
But i agree with your comments. It only really applies to exclusives as otherwise you still need to keyword for all the other sites. 541
Adobe Stock / Re: Fotolia Teams Easyspace to Provide Free Stock Photography« on: November 02, 2006, 07:56 »
This is good marketing in my opinion. better than a magazine where you can just turn the page. Give somethign for free and if they like, they might repeat.

Dreamstime.com / Re: Dreamstime Adds a New Feature: Keymasters« on: November 02, 2006, 07:54 »
So how many do they have to do to earn their 20c. what incentive do they have to keyword well. And you cant even go in to add missed one s for 3 months as you dont know what you missed.
My guess is keyworders will just have generic lists and will copy and paste without apply specific words. 543

iStockPhoto.com / Re: How's it been at iStock for October?« on: November 01, 2006, 11:51 »Maybe it's silly of me to disclose this (keep my advantage for one and keep others occupied with the ratings game), but the three most important factors of the best match search are: age of the file, dl's per month and having the proper boxes ticked and no others (disambiguation).Thanks for your post. what you say seems sensible and reasonable .... but.... this does not explain why two similar photos with identical keywords and uploaded recently on the same day show up in this order: photo 1: 2 sales, few views , ***** photo 2 : 4 sales, more views, no stars Now that photo 2 is rated, it now shows up first rather than second. The antidotal evidence suggests that ratings are important. I hope they do make rating irrelevant (except for the rating search). [edit: time on site seems to have an effect as well looking in more detail - are you suggesting they have a similar system to SS where it is a DL/month basis) 545
General Stock Discussion / Re: time for stock to be unionised?« on: November 01, 2006, 10:36 »The BEST model for any photog,once they have sufficient catalog, is to simply have their own site, for their own work, and directly market themselves to design firms et al. Of course this would take a lot of your time and effort,and you won't be spending as much time shooting.Are there any sites that do this (ie. hosting) and just charge a transaction fee (smugmug??). Does anyone do this. Do you get many hits? 546
General Stock Discussion / Re: time for stock to be unionised?« on: November 01, 2006, 09:14 »
Unfortunately I dont think it would make a difference. Even if you got the big names to join, why would anyone else? Remove the big names and it will be more downloads for me?
Unionism really only works on an all or nothing basis. (ie when unions strike, they normally try to stop other non union members from going to work) 547
iStockPhoto.com / Re: How's it been at iStock for October?« on: November 01, 2006, 02:48 »
Best month ever. Haven't changed many keywords. Sells are now different. Ratings seem to help.

Have you got a 350D (the placement is known to be bad)
re iso, I now get into the habit of always putting the ISO back to 200 even if I may need to bump it up again. This was after using 1600 a few mornings in a row while on holiday. 549

They might have come in under estimates but it is still up on prior year:
Quote After the closing bell Tuesday, Getty reported revenue improved 7 percent to $198.1 million from $184.5 million a year ago, but missed expectations for $206.3 million in revenue, according to a Thomson Financial poll. The share market is its own best and in some cases doesn't reflect relatity. In this case, Getty has improved but not fast enough for the markets liking. [note: this is my take based on reading this one paragraph quoted above] 550

Have you sent them an email/sitemail. they normall repsond to those in a few days and might give you a more specific answer than they would on the forum.
I am guessing that their line of thought is that the paint job is copywrite in much the same why a tattoo is? ![]() ![]() |
