Stocksy / membership
« on: June 02, 2018, 10:55 »
I found an article on Pickerell's site saying that
stocksy's members have voted to open up the membership to more people. Is this true?

iStockPhoto.com / istock logon
« on: May 06, 2016, 08:43 »
I tried several times to logon to istock today but couldn't. I wanted to see if they had started the subs payouts yet and if they had removed last month's total, but couldn't get through. I can't help wondering if they are going to go broke one of these days after all the comments I've read about their downfall, hopefully not yet.

iStockPhoto.com / partner program
« on: April 20, 2016, 11:35 »
Recently I became aware that my pictures were being sold under the partner program. I wasn't aware of this due to not being very hands on with my portfolio and I thought anyway that I was opted out being exclusive. I tried to discover a way to opt out but the instructions to do so didn't lead anywhere (preferences - my uploads - manage collections) there isn't any manage collections that I could find. Does anyone know how to do this? I just don't want to sell my images for 38c - makes me feel like the Little Match Girl!

iStockPhoto.com / Poll Results
« on: May 20, 2015, 22:03 »
Under Microstock Poll Results on the right hand side it says that iStock's Earnings Rating is 41.2 but directly underneath it says exclusive is 234. What does this mean? Is it a misprint or does it mean that exclusive income has suddenly made a massive jump from a few days ago?

New Sites - General / 500px
« on: January 21, 2015, 19:53 »
What is 500px. They have 50,000,000 pictures, they say, and the ones I saw were really good, maybe not altogether  stock images, but good. They aren't listed here. Can anyone tell me?

iStockPhoto.com / exclusivity
« on: August 25, 2014, 10:52 »
I couldn't find the exclusive forum on istock this morning. Is it still there? Also, in the critique forum kelvinjay said that anyone with a camera could shoot animals and nature. I wonder if he has ever tried researching locations, lugging heavy  (and expensive) equipment and waiting for hours until the light is right or the wild life appears. True, this doesn't sell but that doesn't mean that it is easy!

iStockPhoto.com / Editor's Pick
« on: August 22, 2013, 12:04 »
There's a thread on the istock forums on editor's pick. Nobody seems to know what this exactly is. It doesn't carry an increased royalty and it isn't confined to vetta files. It seems to be a pat on the back but no info on whether it is an algorithm or a person awarding it. There isn't any momentum from the company to reveal the criteria for these files, which is odd as if it means that they are "better" than others they would be eager to have everyone incorporate these criteria  and thus raise the standards of their offerings. It's a puzzle.

iStockPhoto.com / Flickr and Getty
« on: August 11, 2013, 20:00 »
I was wondering what the relationship between Getty and Flickr was. Or is there any relationship? I met someone at a workshop who said that his friend posted on Flickr and then some of his photos were put somewhere in Getty, but he didn't know where.
