Thanks for the entertaining and info packed interview!

Do more!
:-)

hmmmm.... mine only tells me the file size they bought but not the usage other than RF or RM,,, I must be missing something... unless it is the browser I am using but that dont seem right

Thanks for the reply!

just a thought... it could be the description or keywords that are getting it bounced, but wait a while before throwing it back up at them as it may be recognized right away and sent away just as fast.....

i made it clear in my reply to support.
i wanted to know what the rules were.....
plain and simple.

had i heard back from them before i posted this, this post wouldnt exist
:-)

i dont believe in putting all my cards on the table until i know what my opponent is holding
;-)

again thank you all for your thoughts

bye bye

I was roaming thru istock this morning and noticed a shot I liked, zoomed in and saw that the background is one of my cityscape  images, altered, cloned, etc, but my image nonetheless, and in the foreground is the model....

Is this type of use permissible in stock? I didn't think it was and didn't want to post the images yet for if the photographer is breaking the law, I prefer to do much more than ask them to take them down...

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I am using safari and when I click the upload button, or whatever it is called a window opens and when i get inside the folder of pictures, I just select a bunch of them all at the same time.
I had a folder with all the ones that were supposed to go to SV sitting on the desktop and on a mc you can color code them, I did that for each group before uploading so I wouldnt lose track....

I use a macbook.
Aperture does almost everything possibly needed to prepare images, and does it fast so there is no need to go to any other programs.
I also run Parallels which allows me to use any, and I mean any PC program on the mac, while still in the mac OS.
I almost  have my girlfriend convinced that she needs a mac!!!!

I never liked PCs because they are too much work, at least in my opinion.
Windows bloats up and eats itself so there is constant maintenance involved.

With the mac you turn it on and everything works....

Used PC early on, switched to mac 10 years ago and never looked back.
Mac applications also give you more screen real estate when working as opposed to a PC program taking up a third or more of the screen.

Yes the investment is bigger but time is money. The faster and easier you can work the better your quality of life and the more pictures you can take

Another great feature for a microstocker with the mac is uploading multiple files to istock via Aperture or iphoto.
I tell you I do not miss the uploading one at a time over there....
Before they are uploaded you can go through the keywords and categorize, when you are ready, press one button and you are all done!

In case you didnt notice, this is a vote for the mac and parallels for when you need to work in pc land!

my latest is http://www.boston-photos.com

just released last night!

Built with rapidweaver on a mac

Thanks Dullegg!

Although you did confuse me on the views....
if you mean the picture i posted here, that was taken by my girlfriend and unfortunately didnt make it into the finals in the contest... i just think it is an awesome shot! much better than my bus!

I didnt realize people pimped around here, i thought that was reserved for SS

Thank you all for the help.

fotokmyst.....
whatever....

The one I feel should have been in the finals.... yes, it is one of my Lady's.....

fotolia DOES take panoramas
fotolia is rejecting EVERYTHING
but who cares they are just one of many places to sell your work.
Bitch about the rejections, but NEVER take them personal

Thank you sir!
She does appreciate it...with fingers crossed that everyone gets what lucky oliver owes them!

Hi clearview!
Suzym is 2 bucks short of a payout herself.

She was trying to use her tokens to help out others but the system kept telling her she didnt have enough ....she has over 200 tokens!

All the best
