Look at it from a statistical risk management point of view.
If a disproportionate amount of fraud come from a small minority of areas, that's not racist in any way.
A lot of these countries have next to no IP or copyright laws and/or next to no enforcement.
Piracy, counterfeiting and everything else are big business there and are allowed to continue unabated. Either there are no useful laws to enforce or the authorities have no interest in enforcing them (or are even involved).
That's saying nothing about individuals or anything about race, its just cold, statistical fact. From a business point of view it quite simply might not be worth the risk to do business with or accept submissions from those areas for those reasons.
Disproportionate? India has 1.35 billion people. 10 thieves is 0.0000007% of Indians.
USA has 325 million pops. 1 thief from USA is proportional to 4 thieves from India.
So comparing 4 thieves against 10 thieves is more or less in the same ballpark and I would not call that disproportionate.
Our dear xenophobe, should also add, as per some recent reports, Serbia, Brunei and Turkey to his list of cheating nations which already includes, Russia, Ukraine, India, Thailand, Pakistan, China, Algeria and of course, even if not on his list, USA.
If I compare 10 thieves from India with 1 thief from Serbia (out of 7 million pops), then proportionally Serbs are bigger thieves than Indians. But nobody steal as much as people from Brunei. Yes, Brunei people, with 1 thief out of 480,000 pops are the biggest thieves on the planet.
Again, it is a Shutterstock problem, thieves are everywhere.
you are sick man...go and detoxicate from trumps....really...10 are this found by a guy in a bunch of hour understand? there are hundred are, and more coming. i suggest you..live your * sofa in usa , country who welcome you as immigrant...and go live in india and open a * business..then come back year and talk again, and this has nothing to do with racism.....has to do with the lack of any * rules who me and you consider normal business law...go in china and open a * business ...o and visit some place where workers live and work 24 hours without any rules.
You think of yourself as sociologist able to understand and explain the root cause of certain behavioral patterns (because of poverty, communism, corruption, bad social fabric, etc, etc, etc...)
Let me break some news for you: you are NOT a sociologist, you are a xenophobe. Sociologists are always attempting to explain why people behave in certain ways, by using advanced statistics to prove their hypothesis.
It's not as simple as you think. Analyzing 10 cases means nothing statistically. 0.0000007% means nothing. These people may well be part of a forum or some group, where a dishonest idea has been shared. In other words, that group is very different than the rest population or contributors from that country you wrongfully accused. It's always a possibility.
But it's much easier to jump to conclusions and explain everything with your xenophobic bias.
It's very telling that when I try to bring you simple numbers to present a different view on the same topic, you reply with insults. You swiftly move between insulting nations and insulting persons. As I said above, your only arguments are childish "name calling" and "ad hominem".
So I'll repeat: it's a Shutterstock problem, not a people problem. Shutterstock rules are not strong enough. They need a better fraud detection algorithm. Whatever happens with governments in those countries is secondary and clearly not part of the solution.
Those xenophobic proposals to ban half of the world from contributing or to make things harder for ALL people coming from all those countries, will only make honest and hard working poor people's lives even more difficult.
nobody want ban hal f of the world...you are telling words nobody has told...and this make you a little piece of crap.
India + China + Pakistan + Bangladesh + Russia + Thailand +... = ~3.4 billion people
That's 45% of the world population. Not half.
My mistake! You got me! 
idiot you understand that we are talking about contributor of ss?
You are not talking about SS. You are talking about how morally decayed people from certain parts of the world are. You even have "explanations": it's because of "poverty", "communism", "lack of social fiber", "corruption", etc, etc, etc... You are the perfect example. I'm not blaming your co-nationals for the way you behave on this forum. You are very rude and you use insults in almost every sentence. It's not the fault of your co-nationals for sharing the same country with such a rude individual. Are you still with me? If yes, read further: SS should take action against their bad behaved contributors, no matter what country they come from, without penalizing other honest and hard working co-nationals. Similarly, MSG forum admins should take action against their bad behaved members, like you, without penalizing all your co-nationals. When others are forced to witness your insults, it's because there is little or no moderation on this forum, not because your co-nationals are morally decayed. Do you see what I mean?

nobody is insulting people...or nations...you are presenting others problems...because you have a distorted view of reality made uo of your conditions and hate towards trump mostly, so you see everybody as racist....other people told you the same....
probably you never go out from your sofa, just to shoot some nightcap of new york...or go back to your country, take a flight and live in other country instead of talk about something you clearly don't have any clue.
if there are 10000 indian country and 100 steal is not a little problem is great problem...considering that probably there are not even 1000 and mostly steal is a big problem. is not abut 10...ten are those discovered by a simple research.
telling the problem is not caused by theft but by those who don't control...is like saying that raping a woman is not a fault of who assault her but the faulty was of her dressing in a sex manner.
"Ad Hominem" at its best.
About the "rape" nonsense: it's the very opposite of what I'm saying.
What you are saying is that ALL men are guilty because one of them (or 10) is a rapist.
Or the classical: Mexicans are rapists, because we caught one.
That's what YOU are saying when you see everything through your xenophobic glasses.
So I'll repeat: it's a Shutterstock problem, not a people problem. Shutterstock rules are not strong enough. They need a better fraud detection algorithm.
this is the same as giving the fault to the victim of a rape cause he has high heels and mini skirt....the fact that even in the last message you tried , with mediocre results, to present your words in another form show exactly you nature...the example of median show exactly your anti trumps taken everywhere even in a photo forum..most of theft in microstcok come form india russia and other third world country..is a fas proven. the rest are the crap you are telling...mandriotu..go back to ss forum..who probably you even work for ss.
I "probably work for SS"! Lol! You got me! Another example of how accurate your conclusions are! That's really impressive! It's my mistake to try to reason with you when it's obvious that You can't root with the hogs and have a clean nose

I don't like jonbull but completely agree on this one. 5 out of six is still "most from east".
Sure, I also agree with "5 out of 6 are from east". The problem is his extrapolation from a few examples to entire nations, including droves of decent hard working contributors.

Ok, so the so called "explanation" has evolved from Russians, Ukranians, Indians, Algerians, Bangladeshi, Chinese, Pakistanis or Thai people are cheaters to "poor people are cheaters".
What about saying that "brown people" are cheaters, or "Hindu people" are cheaters, or "Orthodox Christians"?
All these "explanations" are as "valid" as any! All of them are baseless and offensive!
a complete idiot. really. the fact you don't realize you are an idiot make you even more idiot....
Great! When it's not about specific nations, it's about specific persons! Cassical "ad hominem" and "name calling", in other words, the most intelligent ways to end an argument! Congrats! No better way for you to confirm all what I said above! Thanks!

.if 99% of cheater come from those is not racism ar trumps but reality.
Saying that 99% (made up number, of course) of cheaters come from some countries is exactly what xenophobia is about.
For you, some nations are inferior, some nations are "nations of cheaters".
A couple of months ago, you were ranting about Russia and Ukraine, now you rant about Algeria, Bangladesh and India.
FYI, racists or white-nationalists "justifications" function based on similar assumptions: that non-white races are inferior.
It's so sad that you don't even realize it!
only in the last two days, with minimal efforts brasilnut found at least 10 15 thieves from india. why not from usa or other country?
According to your logic, because of 10 thieves 1.3 billion of Indians are also cheaters! Nice! Xenophobia at its best! As I said, it's so sad that you don't even realize it!

india, bangladesh, algeria.....as i said we have seen not even the point of an iceberg....ss is imploijg, and too we will see 3 4 million files per week mostly stolen...there is billions of poor with intent and a pc, in most country even 100 dollar makes a difference. unfortunately is clear that micro stock is in the last phase.
the only thing that can change something would be a * terrible q4 for ss who take their stock in the garbage. but i have zero hope at this point.
....
and ss has been added a lot of languages..so even those unskilled who doesn't know a word of english can now upload stolen images or spamming with snapshots taken by their iPhone 3. unbelievable.
Funny you say that because your posts are not really the best examples of using correct English  People from Algeria, Bangladesh or India have exactly the same rights as us, Americans or Europeans to upload and sell our work through Shutterstock. Cheating has nothing to do with nationality. The solution is not to close the door to new talent coming from across the world, but for SS to improve their fraud detection algorithms. So focus on the real issue, stop belittling other nations, stop acting like a Trump with his "crap-hole countries" rants and get ready to face the competition.

"Computational photography" is still very young. For example, Huawei started to implement AI in its Leica cameras but I don't like it at all. I just like the supermacro but for example "vegetation" and "food" is just oversaturation of the photo.
That usually happens when you don't shoot Raw. Shoot raw and you will be able to saturate your photos as much as you like.

What's that quote about the best camera being the one you have in your hand?
"The best camera is the one you left at home"

« on: January 04, 2019, 21:10 »
Phone companies are developing computational photography, which means taking multiple photos with different exposures and baking them into the final image, plus reducing noise. Computational photography is advancing faster than sensors, which is why phone cameras are advancing faster than DLSRs these days. Computational photography as an option on DLSRs would be definitely cool.
According to what can be found on google and youtube, Google Pixel 2 and 3 and maybe iPhone XS are probably the best for point and shoot photography. LG V30 and V40 are also up there if you prefer manual controls and if you don't mind lack of image stabilization.
I guess we can conclude that the new high-end phones definitely provide good enough quality for microstock. But what about sales? Is there a significant demand for higher resolution and quality or mobile photography is good enough for most of the buyers?
That "computational photography" is a fancy name for what we can already do in Photoshop, since quite a while, actually: stacking photos as smart objects, followed by a lossless noise reduction, using the median function. True, smartphones do it internally with minimal lag between burst shots, but when using the same technique with a big sensor camera, the results are far superior!

When an iPhone XS Has More Dynamic Range Than a DSLR

Misleading. He is taking about built-in HDR JPEGs, not about native dynamic range. True, the lag between DSLR shots can lead to gosting, but besides that, he is comparing "apple" with oranges. Not professional.

The new generation of high-end mobile phones, launched during 2017-2018, have decent cameras, maybe even better than those entry level DSLRs from 10 years ago. That's especially true for smartphones offering RAW/DNG, alongside JPEG
Given the very relaxed acceptance standards most agencies have theses days, smartphones are just right. As far as I'm concerned, only Alamy still has restrictions on smartphone made photos.

Just to compare your comparison: my SS rpd for December 2018 is $1.23, while my FT rpd for December 2018 is $1.
The split for my December 2018 photo revenue from SS is as follows:
Subs: 29%
ODDs: 29%
ELs: 19%
SODs: 23%
It doesn't really look like a "shuttersub", as you can see.
not talking about revenue but number of download.
Why? The number of DLs doesn't pay bills, but dollars do, right? Anyway, I just checked again: 16% of my downloads are non-subs.

How did Fridays become like Saturdays and Sundays now? Usually they were like any other working week day.
My Friday was like a good Wednesday (over $120). Today, a Saturday, is like a Friday, with 2 ELs and counting. Just a matter of perspective

Davinci Resolve has a complex Audio module.
I don't use it so I can't have an opinion about it. But the free version should be worth a try, I guess.

I'm uploading a lot of pictures at 500px with Stocksubmitter just because I can get exposure at Getty, but there are a lot of pictures that are appearing as rejected and another as Core Collection (which are what I imagine have been accepted to license or be sold) then my question is this: is it worth leaving the other photographs that have been rejected for your exhibition? I really do not care about likes or comments, rather I want to take something of benefit from 500px
I hope you can help me
I see no reason for keeping up rejected photos. Core Collection on the other hand do sell. But things are rather slow for the past few months.

SS within 5% of every month of the year in downloads and $ as usual (no cap!). AS continues the slow climb (the only positive), everywhere else practically dead.
or you could count yourself as one of the lucky ones, they gave you a safety net, no drop. It's all about your perspective.
"They gave you"!
So it's not the quality of his work, it's just luck and some external force favoring him.
Lol!
Breaking news conspirator: it's exactly the oposite!
They capped you or gave you a safety net is exactly the same thing, my point being for those who complain about the cap maybe denigrating the thing that stops the drop, just a matter of perspective. I'm not a believer myself, just looking at it from the opposite direction.
Yeah, each one of us has an inescapable destiny, predefined by The Shutterstock God!
I get it! It's simple, really!
Without being facetious it really is that simple. We are all subject to the shutterstock search, I don't know how it works, neither do you and it will stay that way no matter how many conspiracy theories it throws up.
That's only the difference between believers and agnostics. You forgot the atheists
As an atheist I believe what we sell is a combination of luck and skill there is no God pointing down and saying "Today I will give Joe Bloggs a bad day".
As a fellow "atheist", I concur!
