yes. true. Also i don't like that at all. but it is the only option they give.
on the same question they answered me once:

Hi

You can add a watermark to the image the way as you want so the image will unusable.

I hope it will help.

Add the source image to the zip.
easy as that.

In this portfolio, i found a few of my images (i found it thanks to one of our collegues). Ofcourse i already contacted fotolia. i guess they will act soon.

i share it here so also you can check if you find some of your work.

Cheers.

ironarrow, i'd love to see some examples of the master. can you provide a link to your own portfolio?

i just received an email that i received my payment.
but i can't log in to StockXpert to request the next payout. is it down?

I wrote in a thread there about a search engine cheat using Opera speed dial (I think that  plenty of users are exploiting that) - open nine windows in it and set them to refresh automaticly every X seconds (you're logged out offcourse) and thus generate extremely unfair number of views and occupy first N pages of search engine. 

If i am not mistaken the views only count if you are logged in. So this cheat won't work.

btw, my sales are as normal. well, let's rephrase: my income is as normal. i got more sales, but more of them are subs.

why don't you send them a mail to ask?

i'll keep learning.
now let's hope i get another request soon.


thanks for the advices.

LOL @ pixart.  or i'll try to make one with a gold fish jumping from seat to seat.

@ sharply. Yes. you are right. i should have.. well to be precise i did not email the buyer, but sent a PM. anyway i should have done like you said.

But how to define the price? for something like i did now 100 $ would be a bit excessive, wouldn't it? could i asked for 50$ ? 25? 10 ? 30 cts?

i hope so. for now i sold it already 3 times (sub sub xs)... so who knows.. i might become my bestseller.

i doubt it though, since it became a bit a boring image with the change..

A bit a late reply, sorry. But anyway thanks for the tips.

I made the change, uploaded it and PM'ed a reviewer to review it quickly. Then i emailed the buyer... and ... he bought it as subscribtion.... sight....
well. at least i made one buyer happy.

no, he is asking for an illustration a little modified from the original.
something like: i made an illustration of a tree full of apples and he needs also an image with only the tree.

What do you do when a buyer bought an image and asks you for a variant of that image?

you make it and upload it? (the buyer has to wait the review-time)
you just make it and send it to him/her? (free)
you make it and you make him/her pay? (how?)

Cheers
Thijs

I qoute from The law of gratitude,

"Being grateful for everything that happens, good or bad, is one of the biggest shifts in the way you think. Gratitude for the good will give you more of it". 

Rock on, my friend!!!  :-D

"Hello Shutterstock Submitter (Account #xxxxx),

Thanks for submiting batch #xxxxxxx. "

They do say 'thank you' so why shouldn't i?

i don't want to believe a polite 'thanks' can do any harm.

(actually i don't write in that 'thank you'-thread after the first payout, but there wouldn't be anything wrong doing so)

this is incredible! This guy should be stopped!

I'm really new at crestock, but i am a bit worried.. no dl's at all. and very very few views...

..

Thanks for the replies. Now i subscribed to Istock and submitted 3 vectors for acceptance. I hope to get in. They said it will take maybe even two weeks!? that's a long wait!

OK. so Istock is quite a challenge to get in! Well.. let's go for it!

If you check out my portfolio at SS. Which ones will give me the best change to get accepted there?

Thanks
Thijsone

at istock i saw written somewhere that they are not so keen on patterns and silluettes. is that true?

Hey guys, i need some tips. I make vector illustrations. and at the moment mainly pattern. I submit at StockXpert and ss. Both do quite good.
Now i want to submit at one other site. Which one should i choose and why?

thanks
Thijsone

looks pretty good although you might want to leave the tree dark. The light still comes from the back!

non sono italiano, pero abito in milano.

was my italian good enough?
