Knock knock knock!... Adobe? Are you there?... Can you hear read me?  Hem, here is a good idea for you. Here is a nice possible future "Excitings News"!  Why not make the contributors pay for validation of their images? Hey!!! Isnt this a good idea??? let say... hem... $0.10 per image for getting priority validation. Maybe you could also plan a monthly package for pro members with unlimited uploads? Of course, we suppose well that finance is not your main concern. But I'm sure you would help some of your contributors feel privileged by offering them a choice, to have more control over their content. They would select the best of their production. They would still be free to refuse after all. Of course, you would refund the money if the image was not validated. There is a good future for all, we all know this.

Message for all immaculate innocent image spammers: Please, do not come and expose your success with arrogance here, and dont ask for the blind compassion of all when your own actions make your account being blocked. The Unfair competition disadvantages honest contributors. When Adobe acts by protecting honest contributors (which is not their primary intention, but a simple consequence), I do not personally complain that they act this way. Automated mass production is wonderful to you? Makes you proud? Makes you feel like a genius? Well, Adobe gave us these informations: Account and submission guidelineshttps://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/submission-guidelines.htmlContent spamming
Content spamming, which includes sending multiple submissions of identical or almost identical files, is not allowed. Discover the difference between useful content variations and content that is considered spam here.

Similar content is one of the leading reasons we reject content. Sending multiple copies of identical content can be perceived as image spam, and can result in your account being blocked or permanently closed.

Everything is confessed here by Apple in this new advertisement. But it seems that they have decided to abandon its broadcast. This undoubtedly betrays the discomfort of having demonstrated honesty and sincerity with this particularly dystopian message. But it's still online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntjkwIXWtrcWe of course all have in mind the famous Apple advertisement of 1984, 40 years ago already...

Feel free to inform of your intention. AI, or not AI, that is the question

--> (Please readers, tick +1 if you approve this!) <-- Tip for Stock Agencies: when the "non AI images" option is chosen by customers, let propose as a result to the query only images from portfolios of contributors who do not submit AI images at all, portfolios that are AI free, with no risk... Or at least, make it possible for contributors to tick images that are real photos. Customers will be delighted and reassured to have representations of Natural Creation and not of Artificial Creation made by IA. They will know that if they feel pure emotion for a visual representation, if they see an exceptional performance, natural charm, a feeling expressed, a depth felt, a unique moment captured, a simple and magical performance, an exceptional true place, true outstanding event, previously unknown species, a rare representation of natural diversity, a unique moment captured and eternalized, Artist's soul that transcends, but also the simple photo of an appetizing culinary plate... it is NOT betrayal, nor manipulation. I'm sure there will be a market for it, a way to stand out when AI is everywhere. A kind of Organic Photo Label, or Real Photo Label. Make it!!! --> (Please readers, tick +1 if you approve this!) <--

Panthermedia, Featurepics, Mostphotos, Cutcaster, Scanstockphoto, Clipdealer, Photokore At these agencies, you can't get the amount you made by month. You have to do the maths every month... too bad! To these agencies: please, implement the little code

Hello all, At PM, I get a box for transfer of remuneration asking : " I am selling my images at PantherMedia... (o) privately without the intent to realize profits (o) commercially (corporation or tax liable person) " In fact, I don't really understand the fine details here. What is the involvement of ticking? It appears there are people selling images here, and not intended to realize profits?

I just asked for a payment at Graphicleftovers. They did it very fast. But... Paypal is cutting $3.73 from the $87.88 for costs of perception. What is your experience? is it lower if I do the transfert with moneybookers? Thanks!

I had recently these rejections for vectors : "Other concerns. Some or all layers appear to be locked. This can cause problems for customers. Please unlock all layers and resubmit."I usually lock the white background, I am curious to know what kind of issue this can cause to the customer... grrrrrrrrrrrr just crazy... anyone else ?

Hello,
I submit eps 8 files from illustrator in rgb (sRGB) to Bigstock. The server generates jpeg with weird colors, as if it had been converted into cmyk.
This issue has already been reported but never found a solution.
Is there someone out there who can submit rgb eps files to Bigstock without loss of the colors ? I know a lot of illustrators work natively in cmyk format, considering the printing side, and may not have this problem.
The same issue happens at canstock, but only yaymicro generates no weird jpeg from eps.
I think that the problem comes form the server side, but I don't know if something can be done from illustrator side.
Or maybe the only solution is to submit rasterised jpg to these sites.
Could you tell me what you know about all that, thank you !

Hello,
I hope somebody can help here, how to add map/information release as TEXT file ?
In the release manager, you can only upload JPEG files as releases.
For previous files, I did a print screen of the text, and send it as jpeg, but they refuse it now.
They want absolutely this information as text, and I didn't find how to send them a text file.
Help!
