Are we talking about pictures of the cover of a BILD newspaper? I always wondered about that, but Alamy definitely allowed that in the past as editorial content.

I did send them a Canadian citizen certification letter a few years ago, and they usually last 5 years. In any case that would mean they just withhold some tax.
I have sent them an invoice for each year of income according to their specs. I hear other people have similar problems.

I would advise you to stay away. They were doing OK a decade ago, but I have not been able to paid for several years now. Alfonso owes me several hundred dollars. I'm not optimistic.

Mat, you may have mentioned this elsewhere, but I must have missed it.
If I use Generate in photoshop to remove an item from my photograph, do I have to check the AI box?
Thanks

Looks like the real Stones showed up in the last frame (at their real ages). Otherwise - oh how young we were.

Way better than SS - $282 based on 9000 photographs at AS.

hi any one receive payment yet
While this is a separate beef: No, in addition to long review times and rote rejections - payment is late.

A few images made it through today. Many rejected but for a new reason. Before it was "Quality Issues" (nonsense); now it's "Similar Image(s) already submitted". In most cases that's not true either - nothing similar has been accepted or submitted before (although a few had been submitted and rejected for "quality issues"). I'm going to try smaller batches.

Thanks Roscoe, I forgot about that. I got $40 in May too. So I guess the next one will in time for my birthday early November.

The latest e-mail from SS has: "The Contributor Fund will release earnings every 6 months"
If that's all we get for 6 months of usage, it is very underwhelming.
Well, since a payment in December 2022, now June 2023 has past and still no additional Contributor funds. Are they late? Did SS change their minds?

Onions on apple pie
Roti?
Nonsense lamps
but what exactly is wrong with the Roti?

I'm going to watch this space to see if AS stops rejecting batches of photography for "Quality" that would have passed before and consistently pass at other sites. Until then I'll pause uploads, as it is now a waste of time.

I can add my voice to the mystery of recent rejections. I had 8 rejected for Quality Issues. The explanation for not meeting their "standard" is: "Common issues that can impact the technical quality of images include exposure issues, soft focus, excessive filtering or artifacts/noise." Soft focus? I downsampled the 130 MB files to 60 MB (45.4 Mpixel to 21 Mp). Still, all were rejected again. I've never seen this before. Something has changed.

This is no place for political discussions of any kind.
If by Political Discussions you mean nasty postings that denigrate others, yes. Otherwise, discussions "of any kind" should never be suppressed or restricted.

Back to the topic at hand: I had sale today for $574 USD ($230 net). I'd have to go back quite a few years to match that.

I got about $40 yesterday for the AI fund. SS's lead for the month won't last long.

The notice at the bottom of the Forum has: There are no registered users currently online
I don't want to start a new account just to see if I can sign in that way.

What about the Forum? I still can't sign in.

After more research, I've concluded the missing image was a museum shot that SS took down because of a complaint. It was a good seller, but I'd rather see it taken down than cause any legal trouble.

Had this happen to one of my bestsellers. Was selling 6-10 times a day and disappeared overnight. Managed to get to real support who at two separate occasions, months between, promised they'll investigate, never heard of them again. I mean zero actual explanation what happened or could've happened. I even stopped uploading for months at SS waiting for some answer since the whole thing was so arbitrary. The image is still visible in my bestsellers with downloads and earnings, but with an empty icon and if you click on it you get an missing image url with a random selection of images
Question: if you search for this image at SS, is it still visible to buyers?

That's strange Pete, I don't get an error message when I click that image number.
I get over 16 million Model royalty-free images like you would in a search.
I don't follow what you mean by that new image number equaling April 2019.
Maybe I did delete a model-released image where SS rejected my release form.

I have this for an image I deleted myself. It shows up as a blank white image in my bestseller list. Did you delete any of your images or ever got a notification from Shutterstock that any of your images were deleted?
I do not believe I've deleted any of my images at SS. This images with 50 downloads has no Upload date. The mystery continues...

If I look at my Earnings Summary, by Product, under Subscriptions, my most downloaded images show up. One "Image" on my first page is blank, downloaded 50 times with no Upload date. When I click the image number
1352329826
I get 16 million model photos. Mine are in there when I specify my name too.
What is that all about? Has anyone else seen this?

Congratulations. SS remains my poorest earner, but it's good to know that even here, someone is willing to pay (and SS is holding out for) $2-3000 for a license.

E-mail Contributor Relations and talk to a real person. They'll sort you out. (They may be AI, but they seem real to me  )
