Yes they are. When I uploaded my images for review I then went to members - found my name - clicked on the images that were pending review - and got the unwatermarked image in the flickr style page.  You can still click on members and click on their images, I just don't know if they are pending for stock or if the contributor was intentionally uploading to the flickr side.

During the Beta I wrote several critiques of different parts of the site. Not once did I receive an email in return. Even when I asked a question it went completely unanswered. Personally I'll stick with companies that have an established buyer base or who I think are truly unique in their approach. But whatever works for you.

Hi Azurelaroux,

Just checked to see if we missed any emails, and unfortunately I don't see anything from you. If you need anything, or want to provide us with suggestions feel free to contact me directly. I can be reached at [email protected] . If any of your questions went unanswered during the pre-beta stage, it was unintentional.

As an update regarding the watermarks, the next revision, which should be live in a few days, will include the ability to watermark any image when you upload.

My name is Alexandra. I am the Community Manager at Snapixel.com, a new photo website that combines the social aspect of Flickr with stock photo sites like Istockphoto.

Plus:
- euro
- RF and extended at very good prices - 60% for the photog
- solid platform, well programmed
- IPTC, mass-upload
- clear business info with street address in the US

Minus:
- The mix of a social and a stock site didn't work for Mostphotos.
- "Snapixel offers 1GB of free storage or a premium package for unlimited storage." So it's a paying photohosting site where you can occasionally sell and "share". Hosting fee = 35 euro/year. On a free account, the resize quality of the thumbs will be inferior. @$%*&%$!
- "Free Accounts have 1GB of space (Approximately 2000 photos)" - that's incorrect: a 10MP photo in top jpg quality is around 5MB so it means 200 photos.
- Model Release Forms must be on file and faxed to Snapixel. Why can't we just email a facsimile like on all other stock sites, and do we have to do it with every person shot?
- Giant 640px wide unwatermarked "thumbs". (no comment about the "quality" and the liberal framing of this shot  )

Hi Flemish,

I really appreciate your suggestions. I have discussed some of the issues you have presented here with the team. We agree there should be more than one option to send the release forms, and have added the option to send the release form via email. Also, for anyone who has applied and been accepted to sell photos in the marketplace we have upgraded them to a premium account that allows unlimited storage.

As we fine tune the website all of these suggestions will help us offer a better service.

Feel free to contact me directly if you have any suggestions or feedback. We really appreciate your constructive feedback.

Thanks Again,

Alexandra
