They said they corrected the error. For me it seems that after adjusting the October sales, November still has the error. Or is it just low sales? How was your November compared to previous months? It was 45-50% of September and October for me.

Is it only me, or did sales suddenly decrease after October 14?
In October 15-21 I had 25% of sales compared to earlier week, and 17% of sales compared to random September week. That's an unprecedented drop.

Anyone has problem with FTP processing right now?
I uploaded vectors, but the button to process them ("Next") doesn't seem to be working today.

Edit: it started working after ~6 hours, so it must have been temporary.

Illustration - General / Inkscape EPS export with alpha/opacity/transparency support

« on: February 17, 2020, 04:28 »

Is there any way to export Inkscape illustration to EPS with semi-transparent objects (fill color opacity set somewhere in the middle)?

Inkscape tutorials claim that EPS does not support transparency. EPS10 seems to support transparency and Adobe Illustrator users can export files with transparency. Any chance that I can do that in Inkscape as well?

Some of the images may be his, but many are stolen. I reported some. It's an Indian teenager.

So... Can anyone share actual royalty paid by Shutterstock to music contributors? Because it's all very vague.

123RF / Bad

« on: November 25, 2010, 10:01 »

That's bad. I shoot 18mpix, but quite frequently downsize to 4-5mpix. Sometimes it's necessary, to keep the good quality. For example in landmark interiors it's often not allowed to used tripods. I shoot ISO 800 with IS then, but image needs to be downsized to look good.

Please note that industry leader iStock, requires only 2mpix and Shutterstock requires 4mpix in general, but 2.5mpix for veterans.
