« on: January 02, 2014, 12:42 »
I was thinking that after Christmas prices should go down but i checked and many things are out of stock.

Shutterstock.com / Payouts not auto-scheduled?
« on: January 02, 2014, 10:53 »
It is second day of new month (and new year also) and it seems like earning keep adding to balance from previous month. Since when we have to request payouts?

« on: January 02, 2014, 10:41 »
Other sites take all my files while SS gives random number of invalid dimension errors.

Dreamstime.com / Sneaky checkbox
« on: November 21, 2013, 15:51 »
They used to have checkbox that was mandatory to check when submitting an image. Now in same place they have checkbox permitting to add rejected image to free collection. So be careful what you are clicking.

Shutterstock.com / First $84 single download
« on: October 09, 2013, 22:36 »
I wonder what kind of conditions were negotiated if buyer paid  almost 3x enhanced licence price?

Shutterstock.com / All these red buttons
« on: October 02, 2013, 09:13 »
Maybe it is just my impression but when they changed all the buttons fro green to red I always hesitate if I am pressing right one.

Shutterstock.com / Dinner with Shutterstock & Jon Oringer
« on: November 18, 2012, 01:18 »
Is this for real? I just got this email:
"
I work with Jon Oringer at Shutterstock and we're going to be in San Francisco  and were wondering if by any chance you might be free that night to join us for dinner? I apologize for the short notice, but we just scheduled the trip and would like nothing more than to meet with a few of our best local artists. It looks like dinner will be around 7pm, but I will have more information tomorrow if you think you may be able to make it. 

Looking forward to hearing from you,

"

I only got one from SS cause it was available for download. I am wondering when others are going to me mailed?

StockFresh / I wish I asked ealier :-(
« on: June 09, 2011, 17:14 »
Yesterday I asked how long it going to take and today I got acceptance letter.

What is the best strategy? Obviously I got an urge to  dump everything there but this time I will try to restrain myself from doing this :-) I will include them in my current upload process so it will send 10 images per workday.

I just figured out search for some photos of my daughter that if I skip these buzz keywords I am instantly finding them. Otherwise they are buried by tons of images on top of them.

123RF / Are images coming from FTP automatically now?
« on: June 09, 2011, 10:56 »
I have noticed that that recently there are are no images to process but when I edit my images new ones appear there.

One page show correct number of clips and images in my portfolio another (in this new widget) constantly changes mind about the count :-) It is not a rocket science :-)

iStockPhoto.com / Manual removal from PP?
« on: May 12, 2011, 14:06 »
Their opt out check box is not working so I asked to removed my images. After 10 days I got email that manual removal has been initiated.  Today (1 month minus 2 days from email), images are still on ThinkStock site. How long it would take? What other sites should I check?

I only wish there is a demand for such pictures :-)

Shutterstock.com / Colored rejected as a keyword?
« on: April 13, 2011, 11:37 »
I used it for colored Easter egg photo.

General - Stock Video / agefotostock now accepts video
« on: April 05, 2011, 15:46 »
Unfortunately the only codec they accept is h.264. So far I was re-encoding everything into PhotoJPEG cause it most widely accepted format.

Adobe Stock / Extended RF License for $4.60?
« on: April 04, 2011, 14:46 »
How much customer pays for EL? On Shutterstock I receive $28 for EL.

Pond5 / Pond5 starts reselling photos
« on: March 15, 2011, 13:14 »
All images got "Copyright" watermark which is similar to what Reflexstock is using.

123RF / Editorial FTP uploading
« on: March 14, 2011, 14:25 »
I found "editorial" sub directory in my root so I decided to upload images there. When I am trying to get them processed nothing is found. Am I doing something wrong?

123RF / Nothing happens
« on: March 10, 2011, 12:56 »
I got images sitting in a queue for a month, almost no sales for couple weeks. Is it just me or something is going on with them?

iStockPhoto.com / Are they using african or european swallow?
« on: March 04, 2011, 15:10 »
They were updating numbers from partner program for last 3 days. Is it so difficult to get list of sold images from a partner?

Off Topic / New subscription services from Apple and Google
« on: February 16, 2011, 19:16 »
No it is not for images but mostly for publishing digital content on the web (magazines, blogs, etc). Interesting part is that Apple is taking 30% from sold subscription which seems like opposite of what stock distributors are doing. To make it look even worse Google announced competing service and they take only 10% :-)

Hopefully these services can be adapted to sell other types of digital media :-)

Dreamstime.com / Exclusive rights request
« on: January 28, 2011, 06:51 »
$250 seems to be very low asking price even for image that probably will not sell a lot in a future. Do I need to remove only this image or all similar images from other sites? Can images be removed in 72 hours as requested?

GLStock / How GraphicLeftovers workflow works?
« on: January 25, 2011, 14:21 »
I opened account there, asked for FTP access, uploaded couple files and now I have no clue how to process them. Submit button seems to be grayed out but I can press it. Nothing happens so I am puzzled.
