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.

Yup, I have shot it with every angle.It is on a cricket pitch where batting and bowling is done.There were many on the grass.I am trying to make a collage out of them so that DT accepts it and doesn't decline it due to similarity issues.DT is very strict about similar images.

No, there is nothing great about the technique.Its just a combination of color dodge and gaussian blur technique.I just thought that I caught a nice moment in time..

No, I haven't submitted this in 1 of the 3 samples to istock.Can't even think of such a risk in dreams.

I don't use PS filters but this 1 had mild motion blur which was impossible to fix so I thought I could present it this way.It's quite a big learning curve.But photography is my hobby.

By the way just in case you want to have an idea about my tiny work, have a look :

Comment if you wish to..

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.
