Hi guys,

Anyone is using ipad Pro for part of the workflow?

For photo editing, sketching and publishing a video?

For photo workflow, I understand best is staying in front of big monitor. But how about using it as tethering tool?

For sketching with apple pencil, does it complete the workflow as you don't need another computer?

Same as video editing, does it complete the workflow and don't need another computer.

read up some review but would like to know any users out there that can share first hand experience.

thank you.

Hi guys,

Been not so active in stock photos last few years..

Kind of lost touch with istock after many changes. I think I haven't received any payment from them long time.

Found out that login page is in istock esp, but after login I can't really find how to know how much royalties I have earned.

Just update my tax interview and how to i know how much I have earned and how to get paid?

Thank you.

Hi All,

i try out to keywords in lightroom, was using bridge before

But it seems the lightroom always reset the keywords sequence as a, b, c..and on.

Is there a way I can keep the keywords sequence, as more important keywords followed by less important keywords.

thanks.

Hi all,

anyone had started to use tablet to edit raw files?

i saw lightroom mobile and some app coming out, do you guys have any experience to share? what app you are using?

I understand it is not fully a replacement for desktop software but it is useful for a quick editing on a tablet.

thanks.

hi all,

anyone got Sony A7, would like to start a thread for general discussion of this camera..

i just got A7 and realize my is the japanese version which the menu in japanese are not able to change to english. anyone know a hack?

i use this camera mainly with manual lense of nikon and pentax using some china made lense adapter.

I realize everytime i took a photo the digital viewfinder will just show the taken photo for a second or more (it seems the image is saved). Is this something can be fixed? i have used class 10 SD card which is still not fast enough?

in general i find the camera is good since i can use some manual lense, and the full frame image since produce better quality than my APSC DSLR before (which i don't really know the reason, the higher resolutions on FULL FRAME sensor?)

i also find some button of sony a7 is a bit strange, like the zoom on preview images is C2 which is awfully on top of the screen.

Hi guys,

It seems to me it is possible to use ipad or any tablet as a drawing tablet like wacom,

do you guys use it? try to search for it but didn't come out as any app..

i know it is not a replacement of wacom, but i think it is useful when one need a handwrtiing tablet with precision is not that critical.

thanks.

Hi all,

I recently got paid by an agencies who sell my RM images, then i realise there is a charge for the payment through in paypal.

I asked the agency their answer is they didn't initiate it.

I asked the paypal and still waiting for the answer.

I didn't get the charge all the rest of agencies. I wonder why it happens sometimes? it is showed as 'fee amount'.

Amount received:   
$281.64 USD
Fee amount:   
-$12.69 USD
Net amount:

Hi all,

I test purchase buying image from my symbiostock site, but it seems the buyer never get the download link email. The paypal email went through smoothly..

so what i had done it wrong? thanks.

Hi guys,

any good recommendation of free video editing software?


what is the format u usually submit? it is .mov right?

windows movie maker seem doesn't export as mov.. i use the mpeg streamclip before but it seems no option to adjust some brightness and contrast.. sometimes needs some post process on the video.

Hi all,

I think this is kind of silly question, but how do I login my own website for managing everything?

the symbiostock is a theme of wordpress so, we will login the wordpress interface to manage everything.

I got lost a bit where to login after a while.. i use 'please log-in' link on my website and i can login to wordpress dashboard.

But isn't the 'please log-in' is for user to buy image?

got a bit confused.. I hosted the site on godaddy, so does it mean I don't need to login godaddy after I set ftp and some basic setting?

Hi all,

I wonder if there a way to batch process photos into same categories? i saw one can choose categories when edit a photo.

But not sure how to do for a batch of photos.. thanks.
