Checking the images downloaded in January, I noticed lots of images that are not usually sold ... it's almost like there was a shake-up in the search functionality.

I suspect this is just temporary ... but it's WAY OFF.

I went Exclusive at istockphoto the moment it became an option.
However, they have never made my Illustrations exclusive ... Illustrations have remained non-exclusive all these years.
Does anyone have an explanation for this? Most of my portfolio is photos, but about 1,500 or so are Illustrations.

It seems that whenever I get close to 5,000 in my portfolio, istock swoops in and deletes a whole bunch of my images. How common is it for them to delete files ... this time I had about 4,910 images and overnight it changed to 4,710.
How common is it for them to do this?

Years ago, many of us believed that recency of upload gave an image a slight advantage in the algorithm on istock. What are the current thoughts on this these days?

Whenever I try to access commuity.adobe.com with my Windows computer with the Chrome browser and the Microsoft Edge browsers, I receive this message.
"You are not allowed to access this site"
However, I have no problems accessing the site with my ipad or my galaxy phone.
I have rarely used the site over the many years I've been using Photoshop and never had any issues there like bad behavior.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how I might resolve this issue?

Has anyone else had this problem -- several images which were accepted are showing up on the istockphoto website, but not in my portfolio? It's been 4 or 5 days now. Hoping they will correct this issue without my having to ask.

Last month was below expected; this month above... Go figure.

Has anybody noticed that if you attach a reference image, the reviewers do not get to your submission for a long time -- days and days?

I was ready to be disappointed ... but, a little better than I expected.

pleasantly surprised .... graphic designers seem to be getting back to work ... probably at home for now.

April is probably the month when we all started feeling the results of Covid19

Wondering how microstock sites such as Getty/istock will be affected by the coronavirus.

Just curious ... does anyone know what sizes are most commonly sold on istock. Or the cost commonly sold aspect ratios?

Just curious if it's a good idea to upload similar images at the same time ... are your other images in the series more likely to be found?
The reason I ask is I just discovered that there is a keyword "in a series" - I had never discovered it before ....... so I've been adding it to groups of similar images.
Tnx

It appears that some istockphoto reviewers work on weekends. I got images reviewed on both Saturday and Sunday of this weekend.
That was an unexpected treat.

This is the 4th day in a row now that I've been unable to access esp.gettyimages.com at some point in the day ... I receive this message, no matter what browser I'm using (chrome, firefox, opera)
This page isnt working esp.gettyimages.com is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 503
This is not interfering with use of DeepMeta.
Anyone else experiencing this ?

Just curious about the thinking behind istockphoto charging only 1 credit for illustrations, which ... as we know ... can often take hours to create?
Why are illustrations considered less valuable than photos?

I know, I know ... stupid question. But, I'm asking it anyway... is there ANY way you can get access to your own images, other than buying them?

Checking the Getty Images Contributor site, I have read this page several times and still do not understand what "Connect" at Getty is. https://contributors.gettyimages.com/article.aspx?article_id=2533As I understand it, certain Getty images are embedded in publishing tools. I get it that photographers will only get minuscule amounts from sales, but I'm trying to understand what "Connect" is and what these publishing tools are. Can anyone enlighten me about this? Tnx.

In the message I received from Getty Images in Feb of this year it states:
There are three main areas of the site, which you can navigate between from links in the top right hand corner of the screen:
Account Management ESP Upload Tool Contributor Community Website
I cannot find the ESP Upload Tool.
I would have thought it is in the area "Upload and review content" ... AM I BLIND? I'm not finding it.
Yes, I'm a dummy ... any thoughtful help without reminding me that I'm a dummy would be much appreciated.
