Per-image stats would be useful if it was correct. Just checked one of my images - its downloads in IS and DT are shown being ~ twice more than in reality.....
Too bad, I hoped that I just missed some downloads



While we are hoping that we can help contributors boost their earnings, this is clearly the wrong way to do it. Thanks for pointing this out. I'll follow up directly so we can get this resolved asap.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry about the discrepancy.

No problem, at this stage of your site development I see this as just a funny bug - though hope you can fix it soon :)

Rahul, what time the date is changed on the site?
Cannot catch exactly, but at least at 7PM PST it is already tomorrow at lookstat...

Now it is broken completely - all contributor pages (except root one) return
"The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading"

General Stock Discussion / Re: Is a photo of a map legal?

I took small camera (Samsung NV3). It's point and shot camera, and it can take close ups from distance of about 1cm. I took it in my hand, and put it close to my eye, and tried many times until I was satisfied. Even this image of a butterfly was taken with this camera from some 5cm distance



[Off Topic]: Nice ad for a camera :)
And we see it's accepted.... Looking for a long time for _small_ P&S that sometimes can be used for stock, how it works out? Do you reduce image sizes? Modify EXIF for those too restrictive with camera types?

The only thing with logo - in metric conversions M is mega, mega, not micro :)
Micro is

I've tried to update my profile (to add links to other sites), and got a very interesting message telling a lot about Albumo:

"* Passwords is not mismatch"

Do not be ashamed, I bet your image will get more downloads than mine :)
Done

iStockPhoto.com / Re: istock and keywords
« on: November 24, 2008, 10:48 »
rejected for keywords:  Ecstatic (Expressing Positivity), Cheerful (Expressing Positivity)
there were others like individuality and mug shot that might be a stretch for a strict Istock tag policy,

When they reject for keywords, it seems that they want to prove by quantity that they are right - so the list of rejected keywords is almost always longer than real reason. Look in the list for ones that are really bad, disregard remaining.

StockXpert plugin has multiplication problem (shows cents for dollars... would love to have such performance)

P.S. I want to apologize for my original negative reaction to this app, even with bugs it i pretty handy, and author fixes problems (maybe not immediately, but they are fixed)

I agree with andresr, site has a great potential, though everything depends on how well this potential will be realized.

Rahul, perhaps it would be a good idea to discuss this in person (I believe we are nearby). Do you do some kind of stakeholder discussions?

Rahul, thanks for preventing me from developing this myself :)

What are you plans for covering more sites?

Sometimes it is not bad to be skipped :)
Thanks, guys!

Take IS: when they reject for distorted pixels, they really mean we love our exclusives  :P

Are you sure? I always thought that we love our exclusives is translated to over filtered. They even give us a hint - "over filtered" as two words exist only in their language :)

No, you'll not make me mad. I agree with (almost) everything you say, and I do not claim this photo to be great (though I like it, otherwise it would not be submitted).
IMHO the issues you are pointing are not related to cropping/framing - these are 'choose how to frame from the same point of view', and you are talking about changing viewpoint.  Purely on cropping side, I have similar photo with horizon included, and from this perspective it makes photo worse.

But all this - on serious side, and I posted about funny one. Here is the exact rejection reason:

"Poor composition/Cropped subject: Chopping off part of subject makes photo harder to use generally :-) thanks"

It would be nothing funny in this rejection if it was limited to first two words :)
