Apps are down now, site (for contributors) is working in Serbia, for now at least it was working before for half an hour before it fall again.

Down in Serbia too, but app for Android works.

I always wondered why they need so much time when they accept almost anything. SS accepts usually in 12 hours, few times it happened in five minutes, and on iS  I have some pictures waiting from 20.05. usually I don't mind but since I have made few pics about euro and brexit i get impatient as times go since they are not gonna be accepted in time. Aldo it's my mistake for late uploading in first time.

Well on right side is poll like they said. I'm newbie also and I'm just on IS and SS for now and I found SS better. Only thing I could also say is that you can help someone earn more if you register over someones referral link. I learned that too late, if I new earlyer I would do the same.

Hi there, I'm new so this is maybe stupid question but I have to ask. I found on iStock and Shutterstock a lot of 2D flags (illustrations and pictures) and I can't stop wondering who buys them? I mean they can be found on Wikipedia for free! Even .svg files. I uploaded some of simplier flags that I made in paint (I was that much bored!) and I earned from them almost as much as from 3D render that I make, which is not much actualy but still it doesn't make any sense for me. And if someone have expirience, is it worth uploading them on SS? (as illustrations)

Well I wouldn't really steal their customers since I don't have any way to sell pictures except on SS or IS, for now at least

But I understand what you said

So unless I make my own site for selling photos there is no way to offer this? On IS uploading time is way to long, and on SS it looks like they won't allow me

What's up with Shutterstocks 30MB limit? I started uploading there few days ago, for now just 3D renders from Blender and i noticed that 30MB limit on picture size and some of my best pictures are larger than 30MB. Shouldnt be in their interest to have better images?

And one more question, I was robably making pictures in too high resolution (9600x7000), what's optimal resolution?

You really think that wave pattern flags needs to be 70 megapixels? After reading your post, I was excited to click on your portfolio links because I was expecting to see some high-end rendering of futuristic cityscapes or interior design/architecture as I have seen from some other artists. But seriously, why would you think those images would get "better" just because you blow them up even further?

Well I started to work both, 3D rendering and microstocking, about few months ago so I don't know all yet xD

I'm learning and, apparently, I make some beginners mistakes

I uploaded on shutterstock bunch of 3D flag images (all done in same program on the same way) and around half of them got accepted but other half got rejected because of poor rasterizaion, some of them even two times. Now I don't understand why is that, how half can be good and half bad? And how to improve it?

Pozdrav,
Nov sam na forumu (od danas) i drago mi je videti da ima Balkan sekcija! A olaksace mi i ovo pitanje, nadam se . Inace nov sam i u stock fotografiji (mesec-dva).

Inace sam iz Beograda i imam nekoliko finih slika Kalemegdana i Pobednika, razmisljao sam slikati i Knez Mihajlovu, crkvu Svetog Save...

Za sada aploudujem samo na iStock i tamo ima slika Kalemegdana i kao editorial i kao obicne slike pa me zanima sta sve mogu da kacim kao obicne (komercijalne), a sta kao editorial i sta eventualno ne mogu uopste da kacim? I sta se desava ako eventualno prekrsim neko autosko pravo iz nehata?
