I had written several e-mails to ask the to close my acount, I was deleting one image a day but with over 1100 images it would take years to remove all. Day before yesterday I couldn't login anymore and discovered that my account was closed (no email, nothing from them). What a waste of time, over half a year, 0 sales.

I had one as well, I thought subscription prices had gone up to 30 cents?

I see a couple of images but mostly empty boxed with a title and red dot

Olga

Photoshelter will put the approved images from your application up for sale (actually, they will put it in the approved folder and you have to make them live)

Olga

Yes, they reject all open batches. I have had it happen once, I immediately uploaded all again except the rejected image and some similar images and they got accepted within hours.

Olga

Just tried the uk site and only got a blank page, that is happening a lot lately

Ant-clockwise when I opened the link and then she turned around and only went clockwise (lefthanded)

A picture taken when diving, it is a seal I felt pulling at my fin and one of my best diving pictures

They reviewed mine fast and I was credited the $75. One of the sales was mine , so maybe I win the flash card as well. When more images start selling I'll upload some more, $75,90 credit listed on a website looks fine, but I need it in my bank account.

Olga

If the size is to small the upload will warn you before uploading. The problem is with a dvd/cd, they can't warn you

Olga

Same here, uploaded some yesterday with FTP and no iptc data

I started at Alamy three weeks ago. First application can be done online and I was approved within 2 weeks

Olga

A dutch one, they only accept images taken in holland and specialize in everyday life. It's RF editorial  only   www.nationalebeeldbank.nl

The site is working again for me, had problems earlier today

One thing Dreamstime has, and the others I contribute to don't have, but which I really like, is a good way to set and view the licenses you have set on your photo's

And a way to sort by view/download/name etc.

Albumo has a way to automatically check for double uploads, especially when downloading a whole portfolio, and when uploading has some glitches, this is a really nice feature

And I do like the ability to add keywords when photo's have been approved and eliminate spelling mistakes in keywords and titles.

I second the option to cash out early, even if it will cost a credit for cashout below $30 or $50

I use ftp and have no problems, images show up fast and reviewing speed is back to normal.

Olga

Sorting is on the teething problem list.

Olga

I have images with keywords missing

Olga

The number is still dropping, so I think they are daily removing everything without sales for 18 months, and are still not reviewing new images.

Olga

Just noticd something when editing the uploads. If you select a category, you will get a list of keywords. You can select multiple and add them to your own keywords.

Olga

Good news, albumo does reject photo's even some that where approved by DT so they are looking for some level of quality

Olga

I have had one xl sale for 4 credits and an M for 2 credits, this part WAS implemented with the release of V2

Olga

I don't like this part, it looks like buyers get a very good extended license without us getting extra money

Last time I checked the site there was a page stating that they were upgrading the site, and that it was 36hours they were working on it.

They told that Fotolia would have been down for a weekend in order to upgrade to V2, so I think there's non problem, they asked for 48 hours to do the work, and they're doing it

Look at the dates. They started on the 13th and the message stating they would be up that afternoon was 2 days ago
