I'm in! Thanks :) *upload*

I will not comment the previous posts, but as this is on topic, would like to tell you that we're doing consistency monitoring constantly and that I have asked special attention to be given to the "Well covered" reason for the near future.

While the reason was usually associated with others (like lack of composition for instance), we will try to focus now on those reasons solely. This way we aim to show the problem itself, without any reference to what we have online.

Hopefuly this will help.

I'm sure it will :) Thank you!! :)

Great!! I wish I had something to upload :)

haven't received a single email from them yet!!  ???

This update sounds good and it would be interesting to know how many sales are made by US-buyers. 20, 50 or 80%?

Hi whitechild!

No, they didnt cancel my account... Im just banned from posting in the forums.   I can still read the threads though, and i can still read PMs that people send me. But when i send a pm  - the content is changed to SHUTTERSTOCK-BANNED.

Did you perhaps post the link to the petition somewhere? I think this is what they hated the most. This is my only explanation why I was banned myself...


EDIT: they suspended the account of the user who started the petition.

In defense of SS, they have almost immediately provided a whole forum just to discuss and try to reconcile this problem.

where I cannot post, since they baned me ;) And I think I was not alone because I really wasn't among the most emotional posters there. I did not even get a message telling me why exactly I'm baned. Perhaps because I posted a link to the petition there when another user asked what petition everyone was talking about.
I don't think that they should treat contributors that way. Especially when they themselves have problems keeping control of their feelings.

There-s an interesting post in one of the threads by CSProductions ... etc ...I strongly recommend the book "Cracking the Code," available from www.LostHorizons.com.

Crazy conspiracy nonsense. You only have to look at the website he links to for about 1 sec to realize that :)

As you were ..

lol :D

I was just banned from the Shutterstock forum. Why I don't know - I kept the tone clean.

How WONDERFUL HUH?

Now I will never figure out how to get all this paperwork done.

me too! But my port is still there.

I don't understand it. Yes, I complained, but hey, who would not?? I did not insult anyone!!

10
I don't remember that I said anything rude, but I'm baned too now   :(

11
It would seam someone is banned from the SS forums already.... I really don't like how they handle this!

12
perhaps he got rude out of despair. It would appear he does not see any other choice and now watches how the contributors threaten to leave or leave already. This would ruin Shutterstock and he is well aware of that.

13
I get the feeling they don't want foreign contributors anymore! It really sounds like that! Especially the really rude reaction by Shutterstock!

Seams I really need to delete my images in the end... :'(

hm yes I perhaps will make some minor changes. Although I think the images are ok already... And then re-submit..  :)

is it allowed at SS to simply upload a rejected image again?

Try a search on 'Air Travel'.That's quite a wide subject with over 15k results however 75% of the images (out of the first 80) are essentially the same illustration with different backgrounds.


 :o

Wonder, why this was not sieved out by "too many of the same..."-rejections!

17
I'll just opt out and forget about it.  ::)


18
I know, there is not much - meaning no - copy space in it and it has too much contrast for a background image. Nevertheless it sold...

19
I just uploaded a flower pic  :)


Was it accepted?

I just had 13 of 13 flower pics rejected. *sigh*


It wasn't of course, although I had hopes, since istock and shutterstock accepted it and I already had some sales on it .

In addition I received a "lack of composition"

Here is my lack of composition: 



20
yes, why not make two images of it? A shield and a dragon?

21
That is very cool!! :)

But how could google get all the property releases and model releases? :D

22
yes, amazing, 4 downloads over night!? :) If there was more to it than coincidence that would be great :D

23
lol, why would someone post in his name such helpful information? :D He obviously is not a bot, he is replying to postings in this and other threads ;)

The thread got deleted on istock??

iStockPhoto.com / Re: Color paler on istock site
« on: April 20, 2009, 15:54 »
strange! Yes your istock image looks less saturated and has less contrast. What RGB do you use? sRGB, Adobe RGB, whatever? sRGB is the most common and I always use it since it is supported by most browsers so it looks the same in all browsers.

EDIT: istock seams to whatever color palette you use convert it to sRGB.
Shutterstock and Dreamstime do not. This is an Adobe RGB image I uploaded and the one on SS looks paler since at least my firefox does not "translate" Adobe RGB:




25
yes I only do this with the images I like the most. I strongly consider it with this image which got rejected for overfiltering and lightning. Well I suppose the overfiltering is the Earth and the lightning is the white balance, which I intentionally kept warm... I printed the pic and I think it would lose with a different white balance and the Earth is supposed to be there... no resubmit btw!!
I'll probably write exactly that to scout. But still not sure :D
