Adobe Stock / How many times do I have to contact Fotolia before they remove my images?

« on: November 05, 2011, 14:57 »

I am thinking really? A week went by and no one responds to me about removing my images?? All the other companies responded to me in some way by the 3rd day. I have messaged them twice.
Why do I have to go through my images myself and remove them individually? Really??? At this rate I will get them all off before they respond to me.
PLUS.. they had some as free images but was when they had it as the 18 months deal not 5 years.. I better get ALL my images off... because the 18 months was up along time ago.

Crestock.com / Why is it that Crestock seems to put their head in the sand?

« on: July 16, 2009, 23:42 »

You know I guess I had given up thinking that Crestock has put their head in the sand and does not address their members needs and wants or even answer any questions anymore.
No one knows who the staff is anymore.
I really think that the company had good potential and at one time seemed to be doing great but they have changed in a negative way.
Everyone is pretty hard on them and it seems that they would try to change everyone's attitude and want people to be proud to be a part of their agency.
I have not given up on them. I have not submitted to them in a long time though.
Kinda been sitting on the sidelines and waiting to see what happens.

General Stock Discussion / My models images from Dreamstime were used once again for a porn site. grrrrrr

« on: June 09, 2009, 22:20 »

Does anyone else have this problem? I am very upset. My model has contacted me once again about her images being used in a derogatory manner. She has been on TV and is a very busy model being on commercials and ads.

She is so not happy. At the same time, it has brought her a couple of jobs doing stock for us. I know that anyone purchasing images of people are not suppose to use them in any way that it will hurt the persons image.

Any comments from anyone??

Photo Critique / It is funny but these are rejects..want an opinion

« on: February 07, 2009, 16:46 »

The image was rejected for the following reason(s):

* Composition
* Over / Underexposed

The image was rejected for the following reason(s):

* Composition

This was by Crestock
Now granted..they have been accepted by other agencies...and lately Crestock is rejecting everything I submit and I have a really good AR everywhere and did have at Crestock until lately when they started rejecting EVERYTHING. Everything is straight.. used the ruler tool so it is not crooked and the lighting is not off at all. For night shots, they look great and have no grain or noise.
