That could be for others, but not for me, as my last upload was a few hundred a month ago, and the deletions are (now) an average of 4 images per day. It's a daily thing and (for me) there's no relation with uploaded batches.

It might be that the re-inspectors just do not look/consider how much sales an image has had. They might just have instructions to delete all images with composition "unsuitable to add text" (or something like that). In that case, I can expect A LOT MORE deletions.

How do you know which one is deleted and how often it sold?
I have images deleted every day (still 4000 remaining), but I have no idea which ones.

They also edit titles and descriptions sometimes - some very odd changes made in a batch from a few weeks back. I left the file alone, but the change was really strange. This file was re-titled "Small home with the lights on"

That's not the title I gave it or would give it...
Wow, if that is a SMALL home, I would love to see what this inspector considers a MEDIUM or LARGE one.

No ... right now, I'm at an average of 1 disappearing image per day. With more than 4000 images on Canva, that is not a disaster of course, but I have no idea which image is disappearing and why. I am not uploading at the moment, so there's no queue.
It could be that there are inspectors re-inspecting, but it could also be (as Lee said) that they are working through my long list of to-be-cutout images, and they are deleting the images that cannot be cutout. Soooo looking forward to the possibility to sort our portfolio.

Deyan, I agree, but it would be nice to have a better interface, so I could see WHICH photos are deleted. I don't have the time to browse through all of them to see which one is missing, and like you, I don't think it really is important. But having no tools to sort my portfolio (to be cutout, rejected, approved, processing ...) is annoying.

Can I get this set not to be "pending cut out"? They're meant to have the blue background as the copyspace.
Sean, I have several images "pending cut-out" that are totally unsuitable to be cut out (like smoke, or your flame). In a previous post, Lee said that images that prove to be impossible to cut-out, will be deleted. Some images, like a Christmas tree, are "suitable", but a real pain. Would be a lot easier to just leave them on white (or black).

Lets not forget, people who try to stand up for their rights got booted off. Maybe I was the only one booted off, I dont know, but I wish they would see it from my perspective instead of kicking me out for wanting to protect my own property.
No you were not the only one. Fotolia shut down my 8000 file portfolio the same day as yours. Without notification or communication.

Haha, can you believe I did the very same thing! I had my portfolio taken down there years ago but yesterday I STILL felt I had to go and check both Fotolia and DPC to make sure my stuff wasn't there. You can never be sure if a portfolio has been deleted by an agency or just taken offline (making it liable to suffer "search engine bugs").

Among the (about) 1000 images "to be cut out", I find many photos that I consider as impossible to cutout. These are photos on a black background (100% black), with the subject partly in dark shadow. If such a subject is cut out and placed on a white backdrop, it will be HORRIBLE. If it's meant to be placed on a black background, why cut it out at all? (example : MAA4-Qu36ww).
Other (IMHO) impossible cut-outs are : a white lightning against a black sky, a transparant piggy bank, burning candles, a glass of champaign (with the black wall shining through), flowers growing in the snow ...
I'm not asking you to look into these individual files, I'm just asking : will these be cut out anyway, or "thrown back" into the collection. And if a file is unusable in the cutout version (because of the shadows or color cast), will the original non-cutout be available?

Yes, having completed the backlog we're now working through the files uploaded while we were reviewing the backlog. We're going through contributor by contributor in the order of signup, so early adopters like yourself are already up to date. Hopefully only another few weeks before we're up to date with everybody. 
And what about the files that need to be resubmitted (by Canva) due to technical error? Last week you said I had 489 like that. I suppose they have not been resubmitted yet, since my total number of accepted files has not changed.

For files in the backlog, the date you uploaded them has no impact on when they get reviewed. If they're not all reviewed by next Friday, email me and I'll look into it for you.
Lee, I submitted around 6000 files months ago, and I have about 4000 approved files, and probably a lot of "to be cut out" files. Please don't ask me to check if the difference of about 1900 files are ALL to be cut out, or also non-approved ones. How can I check this? It would mean to browse 300 pages, one by one ...

nice going on reducing the backlog -- I've had 2000 images added in the past 2 weeks
when will the total images reflect the actual number submitted? recent uploads don't show up in the total
When did you submit those 2000 ? Just asking because my backlog of almost 1800 files is not moving at all (since September/October).

I just checked : I typed the full description of one of my popular images in Google images. My image immediately appeared at least 20 times in the search results (obviously, as it was the full caption). 90% of the results came from Shutterstock, Bigstock and 123rf, 1 from Dreamstime, and 1 from Gettyimages. However, when I clicked on the Getty-result, I got a page telling me I could not license this image through Getty, and it did NOT give me a link to Istock. Clicking on the button "more of this photographer" got me zero results.
I only looked at the first page of Google results, because if I were a buyer, why would I go to page 2 if I already found the image 20 times on page 1?
Second test : I did the same, but now in Dutch, with the translated title. Now only 123rf and Dreamstime turned up, and there were no images from Shutterstock and Bigstock to be found. Interesting.

I'm starting to see a pattern here : no access all day long, and a tiny "slot" of access early in the morning (I'm in Belgium, so that's in the middle of the night for the US!).

Yes, I could get into the earnings page just now too, but the problem seems to go up and down. The page works, but only now and then.

OK, so if it's not just me, then I don't have to find the solution in my computer settings or cookies ...

"This page is temporarily unavailable. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. "
Since last week, this is what I get 90% of the time when I try to access my earnings page. All other pages work fine. Logging out/in and deleting cookies does not help at all. Any one else with this problem? Any solution? If not, I guess I'll have to send a ticket to support ...

It's a pity that the backlog of the images to be cut out is so massive. A design service should have a huge amount of cutout images or images on white or black. As it is now, Canva has LESS images on white/black because they are "being cutout". But many buyers don't need a cutout image, just an image on white. So why can Canva not accept all isolated photos, especially the ones with a truly white/black background and replace them, later on, by a cutout version?

Spending too much time on retouching. Removing dust spots and other stuff that the client would NEVER see, because I'm the only stupid one to zoom in at 300%

Does the fact that the $2 royalties are being paid out mean that Google (or DST) has finished selecting the images?
If yes, is it "safe" to opt in again? (the "old" opt-in I mean)

I had exactly the same kind of e-mail! Very weird! All images that are in my portfolio for many months. And no review mail for the recent submission ...

Quote : "During the beta period, images will not be available in a template library ..."
I had $2 sales too, but that does not have to be a Google sale.
My BIG question is : do I smell exclusivity here? If Google gets exclusivity during these 12 months, with one of my best selling images, that would mean I will lose instead of earn money ...

Sometimes I use grey or black cardboard pieces to reflect onto an area with scratches to make it easier to edit later.
Why a grey or black cardboard? Can you explain?

If the clone tool does not work, I usually try out the smudge tool, sometimes in a long sweep over the logo, sometimes with 2 sweeps from outside the logo inwards. But most of the time I first "cut up" the logo with the clone tool and then remove the parts with the patch tool.
