I have huge "image views" drop in last months. Anybody else has such experience?

You are making money by selling photos so you are running a business. When we get to European Union (me and you Borg) all transactions will be monitored so even if you find way to switch for now to personal account in 2013 you will have to switch to an business model.
At paypal they have own monitor team so they do that instantly. As we seen MB formed his own monitor team. I don't know is there any other possibilities.
For me it was hard to accept that 2 years a go, but today it is normal for me and I work harder to gain that 3% difference.

Why is that 2,9% I not trying to explain to you in detail but in shot as I mention in my previous post they had to pay incurance on any money they are processing on business basis and thay have whole team to manage and to fill european regulations. This something beyond MB and it is concern EU and UK law regulations.

So I hope that you understand why I am associate country taxes and MB business model. That is action witch is going on 3 years now to make some regulation on internet business and they have agreement this year to banking firms make their own monitoring teams. It is something like here in Croatia they want banks to control fee on workers wage but banks don't agree. Well in EU it seams that they agree about that and the price is paying who? Well, it's us!

Canon / Re: Canon 5D Mark III 3 - Rumor Page :)
« on: February 10, 2012, 14:42 »
Yes, they talk about super-sampling on Mark III in video mode, witch is possible with 22MP. This will be a breakthrough in video if it is real.

Well, I wrote about this 2 years ago. All of us has to be on merchant account but nobody take care of this until this recent internet actions on Megauplad in US and new law in EU.

Some of users her at MSG attack me that I am crazy and they don't want to pay taxes to his country (it was Bosna and Hercegovina).
Well I am from Croatia and I am paying taxes to my country so I switch to merchant account and all money goes directly from Moneybookers to a company account. In that case they have to charge fee because they as bank institutions has to pay his own expenses (interbank insurance etc.).

So after 2 years, I can tell that my conscience is clear and after all everybody has to switch to an business model at MB.

Yes he and she :), as company name OPIS , we are manging two separate accounts (just to separate our production clips from co-production ones) and we have never be exclusive for images, just for video. My main work is in 3D animations and video and I am feeling so relief after leaving exclusivity on istock.

Dario - video
Jasmina - photo

Just to share, I quit exclusivity few days a go. I am FREE now!
I can't take it any more.
- no editorial video
- unreasonable video rejections
- the lowest commission
- sales going down every month

So SS and POND5 I am coming! Thanks SS and POND5 for such a great uploading procedure and for very easy transition period.
In 30 days witch I have to wait because of Istock contract I will upload all clips to SS and POND and just wait that last second on Istock to press button "FOOTAGE OPT IN" on SS and "PLEASE REVIEW" on POND5.

I think DT is more strict about people in images and they want them to be submitted as Editorial...
That's not true.

General - Stock Video / Re: sensor spot video
« on: November 09, 2011, 03:02 »
PF Clean can do that with "Dust clean" plugin or Nuke with Foundry plugin. But it is very expensive and it will cost you like few Canon 5D MkII.

37
Not so great camera as it look like: 24Mbit data rate, HDMI only 1080p., horizontal lines 900, ND filter only auto or off etc.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Found at Alamy , bought at SS
« on: July 23, 2010, 08:33 »
At Alamy buyer is buying Full RF license, and on microstock buyer is buying limited RF. When you buy extended license on microstock it is almost similar as RF on Alamy but even then you have restrictions.
So from buyer point I will sometimes buy from SS, sometimes from Alamy depending witch license I need.

39
In such cases I repaint the sky or something witch is behind object. Make selection with any of the selection tools, feather 1px and start painting with clone tool. It works for me. And with little practice it became routine.

Newbie Discussion / Re: Basic beginers camera?
« on: June 12, 2009, 04:05 »
I think for your purpose the best camera is Olympus 400 seris with basic lens in a kit. It is lightweight camera for traveling and on auto mode (P) you can make a lot of good pictures. I started with one of these cameras and I have been illustrator also. Now I switch to Canon 5DMkII but Olympus has payed most of this Canon.

On a profile page number of downloads are refresh every few days instead every day for a while also. I suppose that they implementing new features so they put this task on manual starting like they stop automatic refresh of downloaded images today.
They done this in past few times like istock and others so probbably it will be back when they finished what they are doing.

Can we submit video clips?
