Anyone noticed any sub sales and if you have what are u getting.

are you able to log into 123?

I cant since this morning.

Hello, wonder if someone can help me.

i almost neve have noise problems but i did ia shoot that would be hard to re~shoot and all pics have noise, not too much but enough to be concerned of rejection.

I understand you can downsize a pic to make noise less vissible.

but how can i do that?

I know in ps i can use immage / size.

To be more specific, how can i downsize a 12mp photo to say a 8mp?

any help is appreciated,
nick

Hello all, I guess this is the best place to ask this question as opposed to individual micro sites.

As you see my name is "zenpix" since i started uploading to microstock sites, same name in all sites.
When i do a web search I see that others out there have the same name.
Some are photo related, some i belive engineering, even a production co...

Im woried about the right to this name.
For example when i reach yuri's status and i becom a millionair from micro's, i wondering if another co. can make me change my name, cause i dont have tradmark.

So, if my thingking is correct, is it likely that they can make me change my name? I think its possoble.

Im trying to nip it in the bud by doing it now before i am huge like yuri with millions following me/my name.
I assume that would hurt biz, at that point to do a name change.

Also and just as important, will all the microstock sites allow me to change may name?

P.S. Im being sarcastic about Yuri i know i will never reach his status, but we can still dream.

Thanks,Nick

Reason i ask is i cant find any of mine.

I did not say anything cause i figure my pics are so sucky they just left them for last.

But mabey something is wrong.

hello.

i have been thinking about cutting down on the sites i contribute to.

I'm just tired of the uploading!

I submit to~SS, DT, FT, StockXpert, CanStockPhoto, 123, BigStock, SNAPVILLAGE, FP, VEER.

That's 10 freeken sites.

I just recently got accepted to ss.

IS keeps rejecting me.

anyone else been in this boat & what did you do.

I'm thinking of just keeping, SS,DT,FT,VEER,BigStock....AHHHH, i don't know.

and i still want to get into istock.

Any sugestions?

Thanks,
Nick

I have just been looking at the veer site/pics & get the feeling that they accept pics that are more on the artsy/creative side.

Would you agree, or am i off on this assumption?

Reason I'm asking is I'm trying to decide what i will upload to them. Wondering if i have a better chance getting accepted with my more artsy pics, then my standard stock pics?

thanks,
nick

Hello, i registered last week. or so & this is my second post. though i read (lurke) the posts here for info, often.

I was researching StockXpert here a few days ago & it sounded good.

i had already uploaded 5 to them a few months ago & they asked for five more. well i sent 5 more last night & got approved as a contributor this morning.

i uploaded today my first 15 pics ~ as soon as they hit the site they had a yellow dot. i assumed a yellow dot was pending.

i QUICKLY (under 1hr) got two green dots (approved) and one dot was kinda yellowish (pending?).

i was impressed how fast they approved the first two & i eagerly waited for them to get around to the remaining photos

i accidentally ran my curser over the yellow dots & realised they were declined!!!

is this normal?

can they be reviewed so fast that they hit the site as a yellow declined immage???

wow out of 15 pics only two accepted ~ i suck!

note: i contribute to 6 other sites also. i have bin in this game only for around a couple of months or so.

i have a picture in my mind of a reviewer sitting in front of his computer screen (finger poised & ready to hit the decline button) waiting for me to upload my pics & he quickly declines them as fast as i can upload them.
