Adobe Stock / Why display only 100 pages?« on: April 15, 2024, 01:25 »
I have a portfolio which have lot of images but Adobe stock only displays 100 maximum? Why?
Same is for search too, only 100 pages for any search term. Isn't this wrong when there are so many contributors and so big library? 3
Dreamstime.com / Re: A warning for those who use Stocksubmitter with Dreamstime« on: April 12, 2024, 07:15 »Yea I know it has nothing to do with Stocksubmitter. Though regardless, it still happens (probably with any kind of upload system or method.) With a service, like Stocksubmitter, it's not a case of 'set and forget.' One still needs to remember to edit the files afterwards in DT and deselect that selling of the rights option. I think you are missing some option here. Mine is permanently disabled and I usually get this email from them: Your file appears to be suitable for logo usage. Since this usage is allowed only under the exclusive rights license SR-EL, we strongly recommend you enable the SR-EL (SR-EL). This way, you ensure your file attains its maximum sale potential and sells for the highest earning license. It doesn't matter which upload method you are using. 4

Dreamstime.com / Re: A warning for those who use Stocksubmitter with Dreamstime« on: April 12, 2024, 03:54 »Recently, Ive been submitting some videos to DT with Stocksubmitter. And I just happened to click on one of those videos that had been accepted into my port. That video, and all of my other commercial videos, are marked with "Sell the rights." I quickly disabled that option from all the files that I submitted with Stocksubmitter. It is not due to stock submitter, few time back dreamstime system auto updated everything to sell the rights. You can though bulk disable it I guess. 6

From where are they taking permission??
I read an article where it was mentioned training as a FAIR use... What's going on here? Can anyone explain what does fair use define? https://www.medianama.com/2024/04/223-training-openais-sora-with-youtube-videos-a-clear-violation-of-the-platforms-rules/ 7

I can see it happening. I am down to 30-40% which is concerning.

Adobe Stock / Re: Why no portfolio follow option in Adobe Stock?« on: February 10, 2024, 04:05 »I liked some contributors portfolios but why there is no option to follow them? Why? Thanks Mat, I appreciate that it has been discussed. I was working with a team and we were going through the stocks on Adobe where we liked some users work and bookmarked them. But we really missed the follow button which would come more handy than bookmarking all the portfolios. 18

Shutterstock.com / Re: Shutterstock photo sales revenue only 1/20 of Adobe Stock's.« on: January 26, 2024, 11:16 »The greediness of their management has no limit. So here are the consequences...and when the numbers talk all the rest does not matter. I agree, they are too greedy. My earnings have significantly reduced to 1/4 of normal which I used to get. No matter how good quality you upload, nothing will work. SS just looted us and remember karma always strikes back. From past couple of years, I have personally asked my clients to choose Adobe Stock over Shutterstock. 20

Shutterstock.com / Re: Happy Reset!« on: January 09, 2024, 22:31 »In my opinion, the problem with shutterstock is not the percentage for the author. Its problem is the constant decrease in the number of buyers. Buyers are leaving this stock. Any much was distributed to contributors? 23

General Stock Discussion / Re: Can I sell my whole Portfolio to someone else?« on: December 31, 2023, 07:43 »And if the buyer already has his own portfolio on stock. Now he will already have 2 portfolios and 2 accounts. Wouldn't this be a violation of the stock rules?Can I sell my portfolio of 5k stock images to someone for a lumpsum price and remove it from my portfolio so they can sell it? No, such exceptions are taken care of with written permission from the agency. You need to legally transfer the rights. If this was violation, why do shutterstock owns bigstock? 25

I somewhere disagree with him. You can transfer the rights to the buyer. You need not to delete that portfolio, just change the email ID to the buyers email. The buyer also don't need to re-start everything, keep that portfolio running as it is as a separate portfolio. |
