Adobe Stock / Terrible review acceptance at FT« on: September 21, 2010, 15:01 »
I've had 1 image approved out of the last 30 submitted at FT over the past month. What's the deal? IS and SS have accepted them all and are selling well. Is there something I'm missing or is there a specific category they are looking for? Sales have been terrible there as well....jp (123 is beating them!)

But money isnt going to be what makes you all happy
Why do we do this then? If I wanted to just feel good and be "stroked", I wouldn't be sending my images to a commercial company expecting to be paid with a "nice job, let us make you feel good"...HELLO! 231

Although Richards character did see the light at the end, I don't expect the same here. Concerning the thought that little money would be made selling off, there are lots of major corps out there that would snap at the idea of owning a share of this "new" business that's 5 years young give or take. We're talking millions of images....just my thinking on the matter. 232

Sorry Lisa. The movie "Pretty Woman" was about a tycoon (Richard Gere) who bought up companies in an appearance to make it look like he was trying to help them survive when in reality he would break them up and sell them off for huge profits. 233

Thanks, I was aware of this but checked to be sure and still see the same reduced amount. I received a strange payout from them on Jan, 3rd this year for $8.50 that didn't make sense. I changed the date range back to Jan, 5th and the total amount is the same. I don't know why they don't just tell you the total you have earned on the dashboard...that would make it much easier.

For the past 4 weeks I have had a reduction in my gross earnings since being credited for the "Dash for Cash" was added to my account. I wouldn't mind if they would just let me know why the money is being removed instead of letting me guess. Anyone else have this occur? It's happened 3 times...bad credit cards? Would be nice to know. No sales, just reductions.

Who really knows when or if it will happen? 2 Peter, ch 3, ver 8 puts it in a nutshell. Whether you are a "believer" or not it has some sense about it.

Absolutely wonderful work. I have some old photo's from my grand-parents era, 80 or 90 years ago, and I find portrait posing is almost the same in each of them, no smiling or very little. This seems to be the norm back then, even for snapshots, or they just had nothing to smile about.

Funny in a strange way that's typical of them...certainly not funny in a comical way. However, 5 minutes after I started this thread I got a d/l...would you call that "funny" or strange. They're not very consistent. 244

What's the deal with DT...I haven't had a D/L since Aug 3rd with over 500 images there and SS is slammin'. Anyone else see a slow down?

What gets me are the rejections I get from FT and the same images are accepted at SS and IS and selling well....what are thinking?

Bigstock.com / Re: Anyone else have their image descriptions altered at Bigstock or other agencies?« on: July 14, 2010, 09:26 »I haven't seen those types of notes before. Most of the sites would reject the photo if there were any graininess at all, so on the bright side, at least it has a shot at selling. But I do know what you mean. Some buyers may not even notice the graininess, depending on how it is used. I see why you wouldn't be crazy about them adding it. I couldn't have said it better... What's really funny about this is the buyer purchased it at the largest size anyway...go figure! 247

Can, and do other agencies modify your image descriptions? I would think a quick note to the contributor would be in place. I have several that have been "added to" following a **NOTE: after the description.
RE: http://www.bigstockphoto.com/image-3597842/ It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm not crazy about them suggesting the buyer purchase a smaller size...."of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong." 249
