I can download my own files in 123RF before, but now it can't be download for free!
What's happen? I like 123RF very much because it like a free picture backup system.
Does 123RF decide to close this feature? It's so sad  :'(

Hello, my one photo rejected because model release problem, they said that :

The following note was supplied by an administrator:
+ Model releases are only valid for the shoot date they were signed for.
Please supply a model release that is specific to this shoot and date and also provide a shoot description on the form.

But last I upload some images use the old MR, signed 2009, and was accepted.Do you had such experience?

Adobe Stock / 2010 Fotolia Tax coming !!
« on: January 01, 2010, 06:21 »
I got mail from Fotolia :

----------------------------------------
Dear Contributor,
We are happy to inform you that one of your files has been sold.Selling creative content licenses is an economic activity. Income derived from these sales may be subject to U.S. IRS (Internal Revenue Service) Withholding Tax. It is important that our contributors, and Fotolia, comply with tax law. So, we invite you to visit the Tax Center and to review the information listed on that page. Until you complete this procedure and the appropriate form is validated, your Fotolia income will be subject to automatic withholding at the appropriate tax rate. By submitting the applicable form, you may benefit from a reduced or zero withholding rate on your income.We suggest you complete this procedure as soon as possible.
Best Regards,Fotolia Team
------------------------------------------

Then I check my sold image (subscription):

Purchase Date : 2010-01-01 11:43:36
Purchase License : L
Commission : 0.2232

0.2232.....so sad. It was 0.31 before. So, My question is Fotolia withhold every sold image? Did anyone sold image without withhold (not US buyer)?

And, my country in Taiwan and had no Tax Treaty.....

« on: July 29, 2009, 23:25 »
Hello, I am Elwynn. I used iSyndica and find that it is easy to upload photos to  my agencies.
So, I would like to join more agencies, may you give me some suggestions?

I had joined the big 6 sites and bigstockphoto, canstockphoto, crestock, featurepics, yaymicro.
Did any agencies like CanstockPhoto or 123RF just upload files and no need to select catalog ?

thanks everyone  :)

General Stock Discussion / keyword - should I maximize it ?
« on: April 05, 2009, 10:09 »
Some sites like DT, the max keywords is 80, SS is 50.
Should I fill as much as possible to the limit ?

I fill 50 keywords in IPTC/EXIF all my files.
Is there other way to Increase keywords from 50 to 80 before upload to DT?

Did any other sites like DT have more than 50 keywords to fill? Fotolia?

14

Want to upload to other sites, but don't know which sites are easy like Crestock、123RF ---No Categories, just upload.

Did Bigstock、StockXper、fotolia have referring photographer systems?
