This terrible, slow month (which should be a good one) is set to be the worst in over 2 years. So glad I am dropping my crown in a few days. I am down over $2238 this year compared to last.

Can you imagine John Deere suing because one of their tractors is in a shot ? It's free advertising for a start.

So far I am finding my experience uploading to SS very positive. Ok, I had a few initial rejections but on the whole I am experiencing good results getting images into the collection, especially ones IS rejected over and over. I can't wait until I can flick the switch and get them all live to start earning. Only 15 days to go !

I have emailed them to request they disable my images so I can upload but I never heard back.

It's getting ridiculous and is killing the enjoyment of taking photographs.

What I find strange with SS is the fact they turn down a distant tractor crop spraying in a field, plastic toy robot, a distant herd of cows, a traction steam engine , for copyright or trademark reasons, and thats just a few. There are no logos or names on any of these shots. And yet things like statues get through no problem. One building was turned down on the basis of a logo but it's got no logo. It's a different ball game I suppose I must get used to. IS accepted all these and they are very picky about logos. I think we are a bit more relaxed in England.
Anyway, I am still glad to be and and getting images accepted because I want a reason to get out there and shoot editorial images which is more my thing. IS has earned me $1100 less than last year. That's a huge loss and I can't afford it.

No. They told me I have to disable the files myself.

Thanks. I could only disable one image, the other it wouldn't let me. It states that only one can be disabled.
As for joining, I am not sure of how well it will go reading all the negative posts here regarding Dreamstime.

Ok,thanks :-)

SS, dont make ridicuolous rejections, they simply dont need the stuff or classify it as generic rubbish, keeping their files clean from irrelevant material and thats it. Anybody that has a problem with that? join IS. 
If you are trying to provoke with sardonic remarks (something in abundance here) forget it. Anyway, I am in now

I am waiting for my release from exclusivity on another site and have just been accepted at Dreamstime. However, I need to disable my images NOT delete so I can turn them back on when independent.
How do I do this please ?

Sigh....a load more rejections and sadly the files sell well on IS. One was turned away for not being in focus when it is pin sharp. I don't get it but at this rate there won't be much in my folio.

Yep but at this rate I won't have nearly as many files up on SS as I do on IS because of the high number of rejections. The reviewer yesterday passed a lot. TOday's reviewer was the opposite. Will it be worth being on SS with much less files ? I don't know but it won't hurt to try.

Thanks, I will try that.

My ideal car would be something like a new Golf that is well built, safe and economical. Even so, the cost of petrol dictates how often we have days out now. At the moment I have a 1.2 2002 petrol Polo which is good though not as good on fuel as I thought. I upgraded from a 19991.6 Focus which was costly on fuel.

Its costly enough running a car. It gets you from a to b. That's it.

Like I said, cars are not my thing. I like simpler things in life like growing veg, nature, music, walking i the countryside etc etc. Most that are free :-)

I am frustrated with uploading to SS because nearly half the files I send over via Filezilla are failing to go through for no reason. They are all JPEGS but not all go through. It's a real pain.

A Ferrari is the last thing I would buy, even if I could afford one. cars are not my thing, even overpriced ugly ones like a Ferrari.

Do you think even though I will have less files at SS they will still earn me better money than IS ? I did notice when my initial 9 were accepted, before I had chance to disable them (still exclusive at IS) I had already made a sale of 25c. If that is the case with only 9 files in such a short space of time the future looks very good :-)
Rejections were vague (focus/composition/lighting/WB/not needed) At least I have some of my best sellers at IS in there but sadly a few that didn't make it which is a shame because there is proof they do sell, even at IS :-(

It's down for me too and I still get loads and loads of files not going through to them from Filezilla even though Filezilla says they all went through ok.

Well, after a couple of days uploading and keywording I thought I would update on my progress. I have had 76 images rejected and 39 accepted. To me that's pretty bad going and at this rate I will be finding it hard to match the numbers I have in IS. Or, is this pretty normal, are they very picky once you are in ?

It's ok, I have managed to sort it. It has it's own username.
899
« on: December 16, 2011, 11:50 »
I am finding it impossible to upload any images via their site. I am asked for my username and password when I have my files in the box ready to go and I get an error message "invalid login" It's the same as my username and password I am already logged in with so what's going on (or not as the case may be)

I might give them a go then :-)
