Too bad Capture One doesn't support Fuji GFX or Hasselblad X1D or any other medium format except their own Phase One

Unless the articles posted is about you, you won't make any money out of it. Articles could be anything like the newest Hasselblad to images of the late Prince.

Basically it's free advertisement for GI/iStock.
It's posting stuff on your facebook page.

I haven't uploaded there for a while now, it just doesn't make sense and it's a waste of time. If it wasn't for the payouts I would have forgotten about them.

ESP is linked to my stills account but for footage I go here : https://upload.gettyimages.com/
I'm actually using ESP for both. It was working yesterday and we got our sales reports. It was on the whole a miserable August and reading the Getty forum some old and heavy members seem to jump ship?
You mean Christian Lagereek? He has quite a reputation lol

Yes, you have to use ESP now and if you can't access account management from there you have to contact esp stills help, they fixed it for me in a couple of hours.
Oh? I thought ESP was just for submitting content, not for reports. I will check there. Thank you!
You're welcome. There should be a button with account management in the upper right corner.

For me SS has been surpassed by Fotolia and Dreamstime this month. Pretty sad.

The wife is the least of the problems with travelling. Nowadays you never know what hits you, you might run into bullets, axes, machetes, trucks, explosives, suicide bombers

The police in the UK can use a taser or pepper spray if the person they are dealing with looks like they are going for a weapon. Its a lot easier when there usually aren't any guns on either side.
So lets say you were in France when the attack went down and you were there in person, I guess you would be hoping that the cops showed up with their tasers and pepper spray?
I really can't see how any of you can not imagine what if you were in that situation and what you would do or wish you had to protect yourselves? Are you all telling me honestly that if you were in that situation you would just hope for the best, hope that you would not get shot? I find it hard to believe that if you were in that situation that you would not be wishing you had a way to protect yourselves and the ones you love.
Let's say you were there with a hand gun (assuming one is not walking around with an AK-47 openly), what are you going to do against automatic weapons? You might as well throw rocks at them. On a side note, there were 2 police officers outside the Bataclan when it happened, they couldn't go in because they know they were nice targets to the terrorists since they only had standard hand guns with them. And these are professionals with a gun, how would you think you stand a chance against multiple terrorists with machine guns? Reality is far from what you see in movies.

I don't need the constitution to tell me thats its my Human right to protect Myself and Family, I choose to own a gun for that very purpose. If you don't want to own a gun and think that by calling the police or lets say using a baseball bat will save your life or families lives in lets say a home invasion which typically involves two or more thugs who are armed then good luck with that, chances are you would wind up dead.
If you think that by outlawing guns that criminals and thugs won't have guns you are fooling yourself, just look at the terror attack on France that has the strictest gun laws. Hmm they seemed to have guns! There will always be a black market for guns. You might want to learn about Ghost Guns, most criminals seek to buy those. Millions of Americans own guns yet there are not millions of gun related deaths thats because most Americans are law abiding citizens who want to protect their families from people who do things like these snipers.
Guns are not the problem, if you outlaw guns they would use knives if you outlaw knives they would use rocks! It's the people who are the problem so stop blaming the guns. Their needs to be racial unity but instead there is allot of racial divide and hatred, thats the problem.
Ok I'll bite. How do you explain why people in countries with liberal gun laws like Saudia Arabia or Iraq couldn't prevent terrorist attacks recently. Since you're stating that a country with strict gun laws like France would be able to when they have liberal gun laws. Your logic here doesn't make sense. Or a country like Iceland with the highest gun rate per capita has 0 homocides. I think it's just the people's mentality and how people have been brought up that kills people.

For photographers the real bomb is the Affinity Photo which is not released yet (later this year they say), it's supposed to be like Lightroom and Photoshop alternative in one package.
It's been around for Mac for a couple of years now. I like it, it's faster than photoshop but it's not a lightroom alternative for indexing and keywording.

i got a pm from laurin rinder telling me he had heard that ss is preparing the company to be sold off, this was related to the amount of images they are accepting, so this could be related, having 77000 contributors work for them, cleaning up titles, so they look nice and clean and buffed up before they put themselves in the store window
Who will buy SS? Investment company? That would be very very bad for us

Has anybody's additional info been "approved" after they requested it?
Haven't heard back from them yet. I refused to give them any of my social media links.
I am truly astonished that social media profiles/links worth any security measure to anyone!
Exactly, professionally I only have Instagram and P5 doesn't want Instagram links. Other social media is personal so not giving that to them.
