Illustration - General / Need Help! how to convert complex vectors to EPS

« on: September 24, 2018, 08:47 »

Helo all,

I am mainly a photography guy but also interested in illustrator. I can create some designs with effects like drop shadow, blur and transparencies but all this creates problem when saving as EPS format. Some of the effects get resterised which is a problem to submit. But I see many vector designs in micro stock with a lot of effects.

So there should be trick to use all these effects. I know there is something I am missing. Can any of u help me to overcome these problems?

thanx in advance.

Newbie Discussion / What is your workflow

« on: March 05, 2017, 06:01 »

Hi all,

i wonder what is your workflow for multiple stock agencies?

its easy to keyword and upload when its just one agency but once you try to do it for multiple agencies it gets complicated. e.g. some only accept jpeg files and some accepts higher res TIFFs. i used Deep Meta previously for istock for uploading and keywording. Now i am checking stocksubmitter and i understand that i need the PC version for istock and Alamy uploads.
i am not sure but i think Stocksubmitter is like deepmeta, i mean it doesnt embed the keywords in to the original file. and this could be a real problem in the future e.g. u wanted to upload to a new agency and you have to keyword all files again. U may also quit using this program and move to another so if the program doesnt embed the keywords it will all be gone.

I found out that you can embed keywords in PS but its not as fast as other keywording tools and it makes the workflow more complicated.

So as i said in the beginning it will be helpful to hear from you that are much more experienced.

thanx in advance,
Oz.

123RF / 123RF image size chart

« on: March 04, 2017, 04:24 »

Hi all,

i am new to stock photography and decided to go for 123RF also.

i understand that i get credits according to image size.

i couldnt find a size chart saying which dimensions equal to given image size labels like S, XL, XXL etc
i also dont know what exactly 100, 200, 300mb TIFF refers to?
for a given dimension if i upload a file in 8bits it can be 50mb and for 16 bits it can be 100mb.
i can save it with layers and it adds up in file size.

couldnt understand what they refer to MBs in terms of image size?

Hi,

i am looking for a software to manage and submit for several stock sites.

this looks like a good software. where can i download it?
i found stocksubmitter is it the same program?

i also want to know if this program keeps the original files in a folder? or can i remove the files from my computer after submitting?
