I am having a heck of a time trying convert my credits to a payout at FT, I've searched all over but can't find the payout area? I am at payout level, of course I've searched all FT "help" areas and can't find directions. Any direction would be greatly appreciated

My 40D was damaged recently and insurance is working to replace it.  I have been looking into the refurbished models at Adorama.  Anyone have experience or opinion on a refurbished piece of equipment?

Shooting a band soon, in exchange for MR's. I will have each person in the band sign a MR but what if anything do I need for the "band" itself? Has anyone run into problems with only having MR's for the individuals and not another type of release for the band as a whole?

Thanks...

I just noticed that when you view all of your accepted images here you can search by the "quality" of your images (the quality being either excellent, good or ok). Certain images have been rated probably by the reviewer when they were accepted. Anybody know how this relates to a buyers search results? Considering this potentially is just the individual reviewers opinion I'd hate to think this puts your images back in a search result??

It appears that this is not consistently done on every accepted image

I have been trying to beef myself up at FT and was uploading today and noticed my EL potential earnings for that image would be $3.30?

Yes, I am white level still but I haven't been able to find anything about the earnings dropping?

Is this old news?

That was my great morning surprise! First I thought fraud but then I read my email which said they realized they did not like any of the model releases associated with my approved images.

Hello,

Please be herewith notified that we have suspended your account.

Following a routine review, we discovered that all MR documents are generated on computer
and some even have the name of the agency erased. The signatures are also added digitally.

We strongly request you to replace the Model releases. Once you have correct MRs
uploaded, please send us the matching link of the ones that need replaced and of correct
replacement. Also, please e-mail us photos of each of your models holding the MR and
his/her ID.

I have under 10 low earning images with MR's there & opted to simply delete them instead of rounding up the family (which is of course who I utilize for photos) for a group MR party. But the problem is now that my account is still frozen and none of my other images are available for download and I can't get an email response from the individual who noticed this problem. I did call DT and was told nobody here can help and that someone should email me sometime "soon".

I have only a little bit of patience when it comes to all of my images being taken off the market because of a problem with abt 10-15 of over 500 images. I do have some faith that this will be resolved soon and YES, I do realize this is my fault for somehow missing the fact the DT wants something different... I do use my own generic MRs and have no problems at all other sites.

Anyone else run into this type of scenario?? Is this my punishment if you will... turning off my entire account like this?
