Alamy.com / Alamy Accept Ai Images?« on: March 26, 2024, 14:28 »
I had about 60 Ai images accepted "passed QC" then I began to edit the images for "discovery". The next day they're all "deleted". Now I read somewhere they do accept AI, then I read they then don't. Im confused, do they or don't they? Ive been dabbling with MS for over ten years so Im not up on everything. Hopefully someone can help

General Stock Discussion / How many photos and/or illos are needed...?« on: October 07, 2018, 09:47 »
Been only dabbling with MS for 10 years but would like to amp it up.
I'm with Top, and Middle Tier agencies on the right.----> But how many photos and/or illos are needed to yield about $300 a month with all agencies combined? Thanks 4
General Stock Discussion / Is there a certain aspect ratio that sells better than others?« on: September 18, 2018, 12:25 »
What aspect ratio do you use when creating illustrations? Now I assume landscape format is more popular than portrait orientation...?
For instance; is this image too wide? https://www.canstockphoto.com/haunted-castle-banner-with-spider-and-60934151.html I just started illustration and would like to know the aspect ratio is most commonly needed. Thanks 5

iStockPhoto.com / Confused by the 2 Merge« on: September 06, 2018, 09:53 »
I dabbled in MS since 2008 and haven't really been vigilant to the changes in the industry since then, but Im taking a more serious approach to getting into MS to make some money.
My question is I am totally confused by the Getty, iStock relationship (and ESP- whatever that is). Who do I submit new content too and does it appear on both sites, one or do I have to submit to both and where does ESP come in? I get multiple log in screens that seem to do nothing and just send me in circles. I am so lost with this merge. (yes I had a istock account originally, but not a Getty) Lost in Space. Steve 8
iStockPhoto.com / Re: So what happened to my istock portfolio?« on: June 26, 2018, 10:20 »I haven 't heard of this one, but nothing would surprise me. Yeah Feb 2017 I got a notice I ignored, with a window of 30 days to merge the accounts. I don't make hardly anything from stock so I just didn't pay attention or react. My bad. I contacted Support to see if they can reinstate me. 9
iStockPhoto.com / So what happened to my istock portfolio?« on: June 25, 2018, 14:03 »
I haven't looked at istock in a log time.
I see they merged with Getty and my portfolio is gone, yet I seem to have a "account" which is just a shell. Do I have to reapply? 10

General Stock Discussion / Re: Santa Claus Needs a "Subject Release". Seriously?« on: December 09, 2016, 11:52 »
So... My first time filling out a property release for my OWN artwork. How do I fill this out?
DT release example in part: I, ______________ (Steven X), the rightful and lawful owner or authorized representative on his behalf of the property located at ______________ , grant permission to ______________ "photographer".... ect ect Please help. This makes no sense to me as it's my art. 13
General Stock Discussion / Re: Santa Claus Needs a "Subject Release". Seriously?« on: December 06, 2016, 11:22 »
I got a response , they now want a PROPERTY release.

Seriously?« on: December 04, 2016, 11:07 »http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/question-about-release-for-artwork/msg467835/#msg467835 Nope. Cause DT has multiple illustrations of mine accepted NOT asking for proof of originality. And as I mentioned one is of Santa in a sleigh. 15

General Stock Discussion / Santa Claus Needs a "Subject Release". Seriously?« on: December 03, 2016, 12:09 »
DT says my DRAWING illustration of Santa Claus needs a subject release... Really?
Are they kidding me?? Or maybe (even worse) they want a property release of his North Pole house in the drawing... I resubmitted with to editor comment: "Santa Claus is a fictional character in public domain. Also I don't think I need a property release for his fictional north pole residence either... lol" This made my day. 18
General Stock Discussion / Re: Strange Email about My Image« on: November 30, 2016, 12:17 »
Probably a scam, but to what end on their end? Take down a pic? For what? Why?
Even if they sue, they would have to prove financial loss. How much have you made on a micro stock pic of our family? 19
General Stock Discussion / Took Me Over 7 Years to Hit Minimum Payout...(of $50)!!!« on: November 27, 2016, 12:36 »
Yep.
Canstock Photo. Now I joined in Sept of 2009 and I just now hit payout of $50! To be fair, I only have 74 photos and only 2 do well, the rest; eh. At first in 2009 I thought this would be a nice second income stream, but quickly I discovered it was pushing a boulder up a mountain. Its just kinda cool to hit the $50 milestone FINALLY. I'm dabbling with adding my photos but mainly illustrations to the agencies. But I must watch my pennies in cost outlay as it will take years to get the return, if ever. Just wanted to share, not a complaint. Steve PS- (I have hit a couple $100 payouts on DT and SS) 20

If this hasn't been mentioned: the wait for photos isn't much better.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Question about release for artwork« on: October 26, 2016, 11:53 »The specifics vary a bit from one agency to the next but they are all concerned about people uploading only items they don't have full rights to. It's not uncommon to be asked for releases, even for your own art or pictures of yourself. Where can I get a copy or template to use as a release for my own hand drawn art? 22
General Stock Discussion / Re: Question about release for artwork« on: October 12, 2016, 15:38 »Nice. DT is the only site you need a specific form for in this case. Everyone else will take a photo of the original with a note saying "created from scratch with pen and ink" or something similar. DT will insist you use their property form. Just fill it in as the owner of the property and again write an explaination and a photo of the original piece of paper. Initial sketches also useful. Actually DT asked for nothing. Its BigStock thats problem and FL. One site claimed it was "copyright enfringment". I guess they think I'm not capable of drawing simple art. However ALL the others were accepted. I did extremely complicated comic book art, the Reaper illi is a doodle. Ha. 23

Can I see a copy of your "I created this myself Property Release" ? I'm starting to upload artwork and don't know how to handle the release part of it.
Thanks Steve 24
General Stock Discussion / Question about release for artwork« on: October 12, 2016, 11:31 »
I'm an artist and I started submitting some simple artwork in b&w line work. (Hand drawn and inked with real ink, brush on paper.)
here's a sample: https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photography-image78444129#res1454312 The problem is, some MS sites are asking for a property release. Property releases I see don't seem to apply to my situation; I am artist/creator of the art I'm offering. The property release forms I see are between buildings etc and photographers. Anyone have advice or a form hat suits my needs? I can't be the only one doing this? 25
Shutterstock.com / Re: Rejected images experiment« on: November 25, 2009, 00:26 »I tried to upload 20 images that were earlier rejected by SS. I did this because these images have sold elsewhere and the rejection reasons were a matter of taste: "composition", "lighting" etc. How long did you wait to resubmit? |
