Shutterstock.com / Re: Are you experiencing MASS REJECTIONS?
« on: August 02, 2011, 14:28 »
Yes -- I'm a vector contributor, so if I submit a vector and its jpeg, the jpeg is now getting rejected for LCV. Absurd.

I resubmitted a rejected jpeg with a note to reviewer saying the vector was accepted, and they rejected it a second time! And, in two weeks that vector is now in my top 10 most popular. It's really discouraging, since I am getting the least amount of money per download at SS compared to all the other sites I submit to.

SS should make it a rule -- if vector is accepted, so is jpeg. Period. And, both should be ON THE SAME PAGE, just like the other stock sites.  SS has 15 million+ images because they make vector artists submit the jpegs separately.

Sadstock: Here's a site that seems to be affiliated with Shutterstock, but couldn't find it on your list:

http://www.freepik.com/

When I search, I see my images come up in the Shutterstock results and link properly goes to Shutterstock.

But, then there's that free section below and clicking on a few there's no copyrights on the images. Someone had to create these images!

Thanks for this very useful list, Sadstock -- awesome work! With Google Chome's image search, I'm finding my vectors all over the net, but what I found on Webstockpro.com is worth noting here.

http://www.webstockpro.com/Value+Stock+Images/40431073.Uninvited-Picnic-Guests-Photo/

I'm upset because:
1. the image has no copyright to me, it just says: Publisher: Value Stock Images, and
2. There's no watermark!

I contacted webstockpro.com and quickly got this reply:

Dear Lisa,
We are affiliate of Value Stock (Fotosearch.com).
If we get photographer credit/copyright from them we will show it.
Best
Noam


So, going down your list, Sadstock, I see that Fotosearch owns Canstockphoto, but you added Value Stock Images to Fotolia. My port is on both Canstockphoto and Fotolia. I have contacted Fotolia first and I'm waiting for an answer.

Another observation: When an agency subs your images to another agency, and that one subs to another, and so on and so on, how the heck does the original creator ever get paid our few pennies? The whole thing is very disconcerting to me.

My best to all my fellow stockers, Lisa
