Did I miss something? What is going on at Warmpicture that they need help?

I just tried to make a "bid" on a Yuri image at Pocketstock which is sold at about $17,50 for a mid-size. I placed a "bid" at $9 dollar, saying that the same image can be found much cheaper at 123rf and my "bid" was accepted. So thats almost a 50% discount. Maybe next time I should try to bid for $6.

Also, if it catches on and photographers have to respond to every "bid", it will become a huge waste of time.
Its bothersome enough that Dreamstime keeps sending requests for RAW formats or EL licences that I have not uploaded or checked on purpose.

"bidder" sounds to a as another way of "we just sell your images cheaper"...
And for the "no credits system": It probably does not solve the credit card fraud problem...

The trick is usally that only ONE of the TWO words is required to solve properly in order to gain access. Usually one of the words is much better readable than the others and thats the one to solve...

Am I right that the greasemonkey script for Shutterstock doesn't work after they introduced their new page layout some days ago?

So far I haven't worked with Hair & Makeup artists.
I had some enquires of some MUA who wanted to work with me, but it was mostly not the price that stopped me from trying but the time they need.
The last MUA I asked said she would need about 2 hours for 3-4 people to make them ready for a stock shooting. So I would not only have to pay the MUA for her work but also add 2 hours for each model which I need to pay, so the whole shooting would suddenly become much more expensive.

What a pity. I found it quite helpful to track commission changes and other stuff stock agencies don't want people to remember...

It's pretty clear that both sites are punishing top sellers because they make too much money when their best selling images sell.
Do you have proof for that thought? I was not able to understand how you reached that conclusion? In my experience most stock agencies consistently tried to shift earnings from newbies to pros...

@Grafix04:
What exactly do you mean by "number of seats" in your table?

Looks like someone posted something about Yotola in the iStock off-topic forumand it was promptly deleted...Understandably so. 
Seriously? The post a video on their site with a detailed explaination on how to rip off istock-contributors and they dare to post about their site on the istock forum? What were they thinking...

@Shady: In the more expensive womens magazines there are usually some fashion stories with custom shots, 2-3 articles (cover story) with custom shots and the rest is Getty and other stock agencies though microstock is on the rise their as well, but mainly for little fill images.

@ShadySue: Yes, I did one two episodes with many "low cost" women's magazines. The higher price women's magazines (also covered in my analyses) are Brigitte, Freundin and Petra and they generally use more expensive images.

Wow! I just got a single download that paid $90.60. That's a record for me.
Wow, that IS impressive. Congratulations. Was that one of these new "Single Downloads"?

since Dreamstime changed their standard seach method to "bestselling" it might be interesting to know if the topselling contributors see an increase in sales...

My images are different, but mainly form similar shots, so the difference for each site might be small differences in search algorithms that pushes other images to the front thus more buyers see them first.

I have noticed that it takes sometimes longer than usual that footage (or images for that matter) appear in the "to be submitted" queue. But other than that, no, no problems...

The football in the third image looks a bit like a loaf of bread to me. But great hairstyle... :-)

Hallo, in den letzten Tagen habe ich das neue deutsche Stockfotografie-Forum ( http://stockfotografie-forum.de) ins Leben gerufen, welches das leider geschlossene Foto-Talk-Relota-Forum ersetzen soll. Wie beim alten Forum ist auch Ralf Nhmer (Teatime) wieder als Moderator mit dabei. Ich freue mich auf eure rege Teilnahme, Robert
