I think you are correct and I looked at the RF as the agency and the L as him, when it was Shoosh as the RF (the real Yuri) and the RM was from the agency under his name.

So, just to clarify, the RF that is to stay up, which is the same stuff on micro, is not listed under his name, but "Shoosh".

That was the first "exclusive" get together.  There is another one in Berlin: www.istockalypse.com .  There are all kinds of member led meets under the Meetups forum.

They're much better now, that people in your "team" back off when it's your turn, so you can come up with something that isn't shot over your shoulder by everyone.

IMO, they're more about meeting people, not as much shooting stuff that sells a ton.

Yep, that's all it was.  You can see my pics in my port.  Tix were $500, iirc.

Makes me think "How much does he make on Alamy with that %100"...

Cmon lagereek, spill the beans.  The only place I'd be surprised to find her is alamy, since quality and search are tough there.

So, you're saying his intent was to upload the micro concert series as "L", under his name, and the RF version is what is not supposed to be there, under Shoosh?  That makes even less sense having it listed RM there and RF micro.

That can't be correct at all.

I think he is pointing out that Arcurs is trying to keep the Alamy images unassociated with his name by putting them all under the psuedonym "Shoosh":
http://www.alamy.com/stock-photography-search-results.asp?qt=shoosh&ns=1&nu=0&lic=6&lic=1&archive=1&size=0xFF

Possibly so people wouldn't be able to search for them at a lower price elsewhere under his name?  Maybe that's what lobby is trying to say?

It may just be me, but there are just certain things that say to me "this should command a high price", and I'm talking about individual sales, and not volume.

Yeah, I'm not specifically saying Getty has to allow it or anything, but you could certainly sell them on your own site if you wanted.

It must be so clear as to be transparent on their "How to choose a license type" page:

I don't think this is the type of group that should be selling micro.  True high end stuff should be kept for higher priced collections.

And once an image is licensed as RF it can never be licensed as RM, even if it is taken off the RF sites.


Pssst.... sure you can.  You just can't sell exclusivity or history data with the image.

To the OP, guess it pays to keep a tighter reign on what you're putting out there.

Because, if they delete your poor words, you don't learn the lesson on how to keyword.  An xray is an xray, not every disease on the planet.

Here's a good, though not too active forum, for modeling:

The guy who modelled gollum runs it.

I think your eyes are too small and high.  Are you working from image planes?  Eyes should be around halfway up the face.

I think what he was trying to say is: that if new files (from old or new contributor) are not allowed to climb up the best match, the collection would eventually start looking a little stale.

Ok, guess I wasn't reading it that way.  Thanks...

Why does everyone seem to assume that only new contributors can provide "newer, fresher" images?

yeah, I wonder how many more 'big shooters' are going to enter the microstock arena in the next few years. 

Maybe a few less, if everyone would stop blogging about their month by month money stream and how to succeed in microstock, and all that.

Because iStock markets their _exclusive_ collection as being a set of images that are _exclusively_ available on iStock.  Putting the same image or similars on RM sites dilutes that campaign.
