Hello,

Please help me!I am facing a very bad problem.I shot a photo in RAW with my NIKON D5100.But it turns out that it is corrupt!I sooo wanted to upload it on the sites.

But the problem is very weird.

- The preview shows the complete file, so that does mean that data is present other wise it couldn't be read at the 1st place.

Here -

- But when I try to edit it with capture NX or within the view NX itself, I get this -

- And when I try opening it with PS, I get this -

I so wanted to upload this as an editorial.It is 1 of those shots that I feel is unique.I don�t have similars because it was those fraction of seconds where this guy gave this look before engaging with other tourists for group photos.I shot it at a time when other tourists left, and others were coming to him for some clicks.


PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS?I tried transferring the file on both 32 and 64 bits system.BUT SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS.

I can crop but it will look weird and more over I wanted to make some edits in the RAW editing softwares.

If I can see the whole image in the preview, that DOES MEAN THAT THE DATA IS PRESENT.HOW CAN I RECOVER IT AND FIX IT?

Yes, I STILL HAVE KEPT THE FILE IN THE MEMORY CARD JUST IN CASE I GET THE SOLUTION AND HAVE TO TRANSFER AGAIN.I TRANSFERRED USING THE USB PROVIDED WITH THE CAMERA.ALREADY CONTACTED NIKON SUPPORT BUT IN TURN THEY ASKED ME TO CONTACT THE LOCAL SUPPORT AND IN INDIA THERE IS NOTHING LIKE SUPPORT.TRUST ME.THE ANSWER I WOULD GET IS SORRY NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

So please help me�..Please..

They are just rejecting anything and everything.Even my images that have resisted the inspection scrutiny of istock, dreamstime, FT, PM, etc..

Anyone else having the same problem?Ofcourse my images are technically correct if they are on the big 3.I don't find their rejection relevant/valid.
As I can see to my right, Zoonar is way below the other sites, but I am sticking to them just because they have agefotostock as their partner.Even alamy but I am already selling there directly.Should I bother uploading again or other pics?Anyone else contributing to them?Should I stick to them or forget about them?

Thank you.

How can I become contributor to these agencies?I can't find become a contributor or any similar option.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have some questions regarding zoonar.I signed up yesterday and am planning to upload pics but couldn't find some answers.

1) I am already selling on 2 of the top 4 as microstock and wanted to join mid/macrostock.So is it okay if I offer same rf images under premium pricing?Do premium images sell?Or standard images sell more?I just don't want to offer microstock price.

2) Is the pre-filled data necessary in order to upload or we can fill in the data after uploading?Free client doesn't seem to work for me.

3) Are you guys unlike other microstock agencies open to 3d photography/anaglyph as well as some sky images?Obviously not any ordinary sky but skies that happen like less than 20 times a year.Or you already have some categories in abundance?

4) I am not a german and can't keyword in german.Would the search results pick up my images if they are keyworded in english?What is the limit of keywords?50?

5) I read on many forums that sales went down after one of the partner companies left, is it true?What is the sales status like now?

6) It is awesome to see the number of distributors offered.One of them is alamy.My question is that if I am selling the same image on both alamy and zoonar and if it overlaps on alamy if I choose alamy is 1 of the distributors, then what?Will I face some problems or that image will be simply rejected?

7) Alamy also offers distributors.So should I opt in for distributors on only 1 site like alamy or on each and every site like zoonar that offers that facility?'Coz there are major chances of overlapping.

Will universal model releases be accepted?

9) Lastly, I read the terms and condition of mauritius images on the partners page of zoonar that the image offered to be distributed should not be pre-existing in their database.Now the thing is that mauritius images is partner of both alamy and zoonar.So if I opt in for distributors on both the sites, images are bound to overlap on mauritius images.What then?Will it reject one of the agency offering that image or will just reject it from both the agencies?Or is it like whichever agency submits 1st....?

Thank you.

Hello,

I am new to this site.
The other day I was planning to get on inmagine.But one of the lines in their contract said that I can't sell same pics at a lower price at any other website.Now the thing is that I sell some on fotolia, dreamstime and would be getting on istock today/tomorrow.So they sell my pics at a very small price.So can't I sell the same pics on inmagine?I am aware of the fact that the images being sold as rf cannot be sold as rm on either alamy or inmagine.But can't I sell the same pics as rf even on inmagine?

Help me with this please.I am an amateur and don't have so many variations of the same subject that I can give different pic to different agency.How should I tackle this?Can I give the pics that I give to alamy?Alamy is okay if I sell the same pics but as rf only.How should I tackle inmagine?Should I sort out exclusive images for inmagine?'Coz the others are being sold at lower price, thus I said exclusive pics for inmagine.So I haven't yet uploaded my 1st 5 pics as samples.

Correct me if I am wrong or have a wrong idea about the contract.
