CanStockPhoto.com / $10 for a Paypal payout at Canstock
« on: November 01, 2022, 03:29 »
I didn't notice that they introduced that. But, hey. Seriously? $10 for a Paypal payout? They earn so little on commission that they have to scalp contributors even on that thing?

« on: September 09, 2022, 04:18 »

Dreamstime.com / Massive refunds at Dreamstime
« on: August 02, 2022, 06:57 »
Hi there.

Are any of you guys experienced massive buyout and refunds after some time? In last 1-2 months I've sold video clips for over $2k at Dreamstime. All of them were refunded of course with their crappy automated message. I bet that all those files will land on some pirate site. This month started the same. Someone with stolen credit card "buiyng" and massive downloading clips.

General Stock Discussion / Stolen content available for sale
« on: October 11, 2020, 16:54 »
Hello all,

Ive found user on Shutterstock, Adobestock and Deposithphotos who has hundreds of video files stolen from my portfolio and propably others authors also. ---> https://www.shutterstock.com/g/tudosavalentina83/video

Im assuming that he/she selling those content over a year already. I dont know how much money he has earnt on those files but could be nice sum.
Of course already Ive written to supports and waiting for some action.

Any of you guys had similar problem? Is there any other possibility/instance I can use/write to?
Of course they should remove this user ASAP but what about the money Ive lost? Any chances to get back something?

I cant believe how is this possible to upload and sell hundreds of video clips stolen from other authors for a such long time   >:(

I just got an email from Dissolve:


Wed like to inform you of a change to your Dissolve account, which is effective immediately.

You may have noticed that review times for your submissions have increased and its taking longer for content to go live. This is due to substantial growth in the number of contributors and the amount of content submitted to Dissolve. While its great were receiving so much content, we want to maintain reasonable submission review times. Like you, we want your best work available to Dissolve customers quickly. The sooner your content is live on the site, the sooner it can perform.

To achieve this, as of today, your account is assigned a maximum number of files that may be submitted within a calendar month. This upload level is determined by a number of factors, including collection performance and quality of content and metadata.

The levels are:
Bronze up to 25 files per month
Silver up to 125 files per month
Gold up to 250 files per month
Platinum up to 1,000 files per month
Unlimited unlimited files

Your current upload level is: Gold

The key to success is to send us your best. Be selective about each submission by choosing content you believe has the greatest potential. All content should be free of logos and branding and include model and property releases when necessary.

Unused uploads expire at the end of each calendar month and do not carry over, so be sure to make the most of your limit. On the first day of each month, your total uploads will refresh to your monthly maximum. You can always find your limit and your current usage on the contributor upload site.

Contributors may move to a higher upload level depending on their collections performance, which we review on an ongoing basis. Well notify you if your level changes.

If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].

Regards,




I think this is how they want to resolve their technical indolence. At the moment I have over 500 clips waiting for review. Most of them are Christmas and New Year content. They didnt reviewed anything since July. With the new rules they will review my batches at March 2017. Wow. What a brilliant idea!

And I would be able to upload something new in March 2017 also. I cant wait...
NO they must be kidding me! Im stopping upload to this half-amateur site "which is effective immediately"!

First of all they should improve their FTP speed, add a real time stats and what is most important: START TO SELL MORE.

I dont know how you guys earning there comparing to other sites but my stats are very poor there. So no regrets.

Do you have similar problem with dowloading your Tax Reporting / Income Documents?

Envato / Mood after 1st 2016...
« on: January 20, 2016, 13:42 »
I dont know how everybody else, but now when I see new sale on Envato Im not happy like before 2016. Im angry! Im angry becouse I know how much money Im loosing with every sale. All of this is of course becouse their move to US and introducing US Tax to ours (already low) royalties.

Here is Royalty structure for Non Exclusives (sale to US):
HD video priced $8. Envato gets: $5,12 You get: $0.96
4K video priced $25. Envato gets: $16, You get: $3

Im still watching and  waiting for their solution of this situation. If not, time will come to break this humiliation.

Hello,

Im using Picworkflow for a long time already. In most cases I order titles/descriptions for my photos. Rarely keywords.
This is not the first time that happen to me and maybe some of you experienced the same. Ive already informed Bobby about this but there are no results.

Here we go:

Ive uploaded a batch of about 90 photos to description and keywording. Titles and description are in 90% very accurate and detailed. No complain.
But what is going with keywords? I dont know. Do the keyworders fighting with each other? Who the first touch and reserve his file?

To be more specyfic. There were photos from different sessions, different female models, different subjects, different situation etc. All common thing was female model on them. And what "smart-ass" keyworder did? He put easy keywords (it was copy and paste for sure) to most of those photos.
There was something like this: "adult, attractive, beautiful, beauty, cute, female, lifestyle, lovely, model, person, pretty, seductive, sensual, sexy, slim, young"
16 keywords for all. Very universal, right? Easy money, right? He leve those files for days. Did not touch and add anything more. Incomplete. I had to finish the job by myself.

It is not the first time that happen.

I do not order keywording there anymore if Bobby dont do something with this problem.

Oh, almost forgot. The nickname of lucky keyworder is LEMUR (he got this nickname becouse he's fuckin lazy?)
Of course there are good keyworders also who do great job. But those individuals like Lemur make bad reputation for all Picworkflow.
