Hello,

I've been dealing with this issue for 3 days now, reading different stuff, but could not find the correct answer for it. Let me show you what i mean.


The picture on left is shown in Adobe Bridge, the picture on right in Photoshop.

The problem is that I thought Photoshop colors are correct (I use sRGB on both of them). That is why I tried to match color from Bridge to Photoshop-succeeded. I thought that problem is solved as windows photo gallery viewer also showed image as Photoshop.

However, when I uploaded the same image to Fotolia and Shutterstock (and also to photolab software) the color of the image was the one at the left. To my understanding this then would be the right color of the image.

My question therefore is the following: 1. how to match the color of image showed in photoshop to the color showed in other software, 2. do/did you have/had the same troubles and how did you handle them.

Thanks for your answers in advance!

Hello everyone!

A day ago I received a request for additional format for one of mine 3d renders on Dreamstime.
Can someone tell me, how can this be done. I already tried live trace in AI, but just don't know what to do to get good results. I know that Scot from Golden Guys saves his renders also in .ai format, and also gradients are looking relatively good.

I'd be really thankful if someone could told me, what to do to make that kind of file. Do you render first and then make ai from TIFF, or do you make .ai file directly from 3ds max?

Thanks,

Hi,

It's been a while now, since I started looking for an upgrade of my (kit) tele-lens. After browsing for options I'm now choosing between those:

Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 EX DG Macro HSM II or Canon EF 70-200 f/4L USM (IS-not sure about that).

What would you recomend using for stock. I heard a lot of good about Sigma, but a big cons of that lens is chromatic aberation they say. on the other hand Canon is very sharp, with much better handling of chromatic aberation, but is only f4.

Also if I were to chose canon-is the IS for it worth the 400� more or is the "plane" version without also good enough for stock?

So what would you suggest-sigma or canon? and if canon with or without the IS?

btw i'm going to use it on eos 350D for now (after that i'm looking for full-frame, but not quite sure when)

Thanks for your answers in advance,

Hello,

I would like to know whether there is any possibility that Zymmetrical will start making their payouts also through Moneybookers not only Paypal?
A lot of us contributors can't have our own Paypal acc. which you already know, so MB is our best alternative.

Maybe suggestion to Zymm team for implementation...

Thanks!

Hey everybody...

I'm not sure what's going on with my istock account but here's how it is:

I registered my account in December 2006. At that time I got answer really fast to upload some pictures and government ID, which I did and also got that ID rejected.

Since I didn't have any other ID to resend I just left my account waiting till January this year.

I decided to try again with new ID, which i sent them in the mid January and since then nothing happened. I was waiting for more than a month when i tried to contact their support to ask them what is wrong, but I didn't get any answer. It just says "Pending Approval" when I click on upload button... and I think that it's saying a bit too long now... if i had just received some mail where they would tell me what's happening (if my pic are not good enough or so)...

That's why I'm asking you what to do? Shall I wait forever or just forget that istock exists? If not, what can I do about it?

thanks for answers in advance.
