When I have a few more files I'll try again and leave those two off the list.

Thanks. David

I have same problem but with Deepmeta, support can not help  much with this problem...
They told me that problem is in type of firewall or antivirus program...


Prostockmaster works fine to me...



hmmm, firewall on the sites? I use a mac and don't run virus software or firewalls.

This software looks pretty good but I tried to use the free trial and it doesn't upload. It just doesn't work. The SS says uploaded but doesn't ever show up. The DT says uploaded but also never showed up and if IS was one of the selected sites the program would just hang there forever until I killed the upload. Two emails to support have been ignored. It's too bad. I was going to buy it but am sort of put off now.

So, if support reads this forum...please help me and maybe sell another copy of your software.

Newbie Discussion / Re: How do you keep track of your images?
« on: August 03, 2009, 13:16 »
I don't track what is accepted/selling but I do track what I uploaded to where because of the different U/L # constraints. I use Picasa as a photo database and have created albums for each of the sites I U/L to. When I U/L a batch, I put those photos in that site's album. (It's not multiple copies of the photos but references to the photo.) That makes it easy for me to see what I have U/L'd and to where. Oh yeah, and I keep all my MS in a pending U/L directory until I've uploaded the photo everywhere. Then I move them to a monthly U/L directory for all U/L's completed in a particular month. Not a great system but one that is working for now. If I read about a better one then I'll dump this one in a second.

I've been there. I've been the person posting a photo that I thought was good and not understanding why it was not accepted.  I don't want to be that person anymore.

So, I have to do my best and only submit my best. My best may not be the same as a top producing pro but I have to strive for that quality.

Anyway, hello to you three above me. See you on the forums.

Newbie Discussion / New But Not Really

I just wanted to say hello. I am newly new here on this group even though I think I was a participant four years ago under a different name. The microstock business is very interesting and no longer an amateur's game no matter how much the MS sites want you to think so.

After abandoning my MS portfolios three years ago I have just started to add to them again. Three years ago, I thought, all this work isn't worth the $$ per month I am making. Now I want to try to do it differently. I used to think this was just a numbers game but I've come to figure out that is a faulty strategy. I think this is a quality game like any other business.

OK, I know that I haven't hit upon anything new saying "this is a quality game" but just felt like sharing. When I look at the critique forums and see what people are getting upset about when rejected it became clear to me. I should only try to take photos that people will need (whatever they are  ;) ;) ;)) and then make them the very best I can taking into account composition, lighting, background, colors... So that's what I'm going to do this time around.  Yes, not a secret but for some reason it wasn't obvious to me before.

Hello everyone. I recognize many names from four years ago. I hope you all have been having success. I learn much reading through forums like this one and will try to contribute when I actually know something.
