Update: They accepted one photo with my universal MR so I understand it would work there. I got more in a queue.

I got 51 files uploaded in one year. 20 from my old camera, then I stopped for half a year. Since I got new camera I got 31 online. I am glad that now I am downsizing for Alamy :-)

It was actually 688 x 459 pixels for $50. I just wonder why they ask for 48MB files if they sell only post stamp size images :-)

It took me one year from getting accepted. I stopped uploading for while cause my upsizing efforts were miserable. Now, after camera upgrade, I started uploading again. It's better but still many unexpected rejections. I just stopped worrying about that.

Why they keep deactivating files that may violate copyrights or trademarks? Just got messages about two files that show details of luxury cars.

So this was your first batch after your application batch?
Sounds like you got lucky; in the other thread, Brian said that some files had been waiting 5 days and they were working towards not going longer than that if possible.
Yep. Some files were done in 2 days, rest after additional two.

Yes, my first submission. By long series I mean more than 5 from same location it would be cut by at least half so better to pick really best shots or split into different submissions.

I takes around 2 days which is not bad.
DONTS:
1. Architecture, especially details
2. Long series
DOS:
1. Flowers
2. Nature landscapes
3. Dogs on the beach
4. Isolated every day objects
Still waiting for my first image with universal MR to be reviewed.

I made huge mistake, asked them to delete around 1000 files. Now I will spend rest of my life building up acceptance rate there :-) This of course translates to no sales there. I am not even sure why I am trying to rebuild my reputation there? I must be masochist.

I'm really confused by all that is going on there. Please don't confuse me even further. 
I'm torn between uploading and waiting. I'm new there and don't know which of the "admin" posts are to be trusted. Does anyone think that Getty will allow StockXpert to compete with the iStock group? Do you think we are in danger of losing any images in the StockXpert database? What do you plan to do with your images currently in the StockXpert database?
Are there any REALLY knowledgeable answers?
I do not really know what Getty plans but I might think of 3 posibilities 1. Shut down StockXpert 2. Merge it into IS 3. Try to reposition it so there is no direct competition between IS and StockXpert No. I do not think you will loose images or unpaid royalties. Only thin you lost already was time if they are gone. Since Getty acquisition number of rejections was constantly growing so actually I am happy to sto uploading and wait to see what happen.

Most of the sites claim that creating lightboxes causes traffic increase but I haven't observed that. Why image should be found easier in container than alone.

For me it's around 1/2 year so if I multiply by 4 it's about similar ;-)

That's about right :-)

My latest uploads got 2 views at most. Majority got none. Oldest images got around 100. I wonder if there are any buyers there?

« on: June 16, 2009, 13:06 »
3008 views and only 6 sales. It does not look very promising ;-)

Mutualism - when both species involved benefit from the relationship.
Commensalism - when one species benefits and the other isnt affected.
Parasitism - when one species benefits, and the other is harmed in the process.

Nobody creates stock site for contributors. Even they say so, it's just marketing. All they want are sales. If they could sell randomly generated computer images contributors would be gone is 5 seconds :-)

What big deal is this? They just recycled competition's executive. If they got marketing guy from Google I might be excited ;-)

Why they spent time and money for pruning images that violate Getty policies?

BigStockPhoto is only "big" cause they called themselves so :-)

I am kind of expecting some "announcement" from them :-)

Almost every player from traditional stock industry has a presence in micros. I am afraid they will dominate this space eventually cause their universe is collapsing. There will be no independents in top 10.

Corbis should have bought Dreamstime instead of wasting money on SnapVillage. Now they are years behind Getty. The only threat to this empire is Shutterstock. Who is going to snap them?

It would be interesting to know if customers receive similar letter inviting them to IS :-)

So this acquisition was basically eliminating a competition. They just took only distributing channels while they were not interested in another microsite.
