General - Stock Video / Re: Free Program For Converting Time Lapse?« on: September 07, 2017, 08:17 »
Remember that with SLRs the camera always opens the diaphragm to full open regardless of your f/# setting so you have a bright image in the viewfinder. As the picture is taken, it stops the opening down (to the f/# you have set) just before opening and closing the shutter, so this full open diaphragm to stopped down diaphragm (to whatever f/# you have set) happens every time a shot is taken. This is what causes the variation or flickering because the mechanical diaphragm will not close to the exact opening every time. Not a problem for stills because it is close, but flickering will show up in a timelapse due to the small variations in actual diaphragm opening. 703

If you already have Photoshop, that can do it for you.

Amazing work!
It is also interesting that he markets on sites like SS vs. "higher end" sites/outlets. 705

When does it get to the point that the top quality producers feel that it just isn't worth it anymore? If/when that time comes, that would be a turning point. Yes cameras are "cheap", but models, locations, time and other production costs aren't.

Why because I minimum I will be getting $3.50 per download, I can live with that and I am hoping buyers will come there! I am done with 38cents. If I can't sell an image that can pay for something on Taco Bell menu then I am not going to sell it! Is there a reason to be hopeful for this agency? POND5 sells images where you can set the price, but seemingly virtually no buyers. 708

Does it look different when you play the "original" unedited file on different platforms?
What software are you using to edit? 709

So fewer dls and 57% more images means we're not crazy when we complain about a huge decrease in sales. Doesn't look good for the future. So if downloads are down....where are the customers going?...another site(s)? 710

I would think if you have already had them up for a few months you should already have some idea of what your income is or would be?

iStockPhoto.com / iStock - Minimum Paypal Payout?« on: July 25, 2017, 15:00 »
Is there a minimum amount $$ you need to reach to get a monthly paypal payout on iStock?
Thanks below! I knew paper check was $100, but didn't know about paypal, I guess they just won't send you any money no matter what your payout method is until you reach $100! 713
Photoshop Discussion / Re: Soaring cost« on: July 17, 2017, 10:41 »I switched from Photoshop Elements to Affinity Photo over a year ago and have never looked back. Affinity is a great program that offers a wide variety of features from basic to sophisticated. They also have a Designer program. What would be interesting is if/when Affinity photo develops features that are clearly beyond what PS can do....then things will get very interesting from a competitive standpoint. 714

General Stock Discussion / Re: Where is the right color? Davinchi Resolve, Quick time, etc.?« on: May 22, 2017, 08:43 »
In DaVinci Resolve, look at "Data Levels" in "Clip Attributes" on "Media" tab there are three options "Auto", "Video", and "Full". Frankly, I am not sure of what they mean, but I do know that having the "wrong" one checked will throw off the color.

also remember that SS accepts editorial, but Fot does not.
