Shutterstock.com / Re: Image Resolutions on SS
« on: April 02, 2008, 07:40 »
hello,

As far as I know SS does not accept image larger than 25MPixel. I see lots of images at 6000x6000 (36Mpixel). How can this be ?

Thanks

Konstantinos

They don't accept images larger than 25MB , resolution is not important.

I only know that in my case  SS beats all of them together , and it beats them good.
Even per photo? You have about 4,800 photos on SS and only 572 on IS.

Why would I care for high earnings per photo on IS when I dont have a chance to upload most of my work there ? Only thing I care about is total income , and that pays the bills.

I started with stock 2 years ago , almost at the same time at SS and IS and the fact that I have about 10 times more images at SS its a result of IS policy.

IS gives me 2 times more per photo , but I have 10 times more photos at SS. IS is rejecting half of my work in 90% of the time is because that they do not find it suitable for stock.

I don't know why , but I didn't get any sales reports on my e-mail for some time , so I just logged on FP after long time just to see if I had any sales there.

I just couldn't believe my eyes , I had  several Royalty Free Small Business Extension sales all over 80$ generating me minimal 56$ each , and "small sales" have become regular on daily basis so for me FP will probably beat most sites from big 5 this month.

Just hope the trend will continue cause I always liked that site.

I just wanted to share the info....

"Microsoft Photo Info runs on 32-bit versions of Windows XP (with Service Pack 2 or later) and the Windows Vista operating systems"


Before I mess something up again , I dont understand does in mean that in work in 32-bit version of XP and all Vista versions including 64-bit , or it only works in 32-bit versions of both.

Have someone tried it wit Vista 64x ?

Thanks

Instead to answer I will tell you a story , a sad sad , but very true story but I want mention nations , probably some of us will know from where the story is.

Imagine 2 nations at war , one superior at that time but not capable to win. Here comes international forces and stand between them and they build a protection zone in surrounded city.

The offered shelter to the weaker side which was defending that city ,with condition to give all weapons to UN forces ,and they have accepted that , entered in camp surrounded with wires and stuff and UN were protecting them.

Next thing that happened , that the other side requested from UN they they abandon the safety zone and that they will held the people in camp prisoners and treat them fair like prisoners under Geneva convection.

You know what happened next , UN turned the head , went away from a protected zone and left 10 000 people , mostly older people , women and children and wounded solders  in hand of paramilitary troupes.


In next few hours they were all killed , mostly with knives , so that international forces soldiers can enjoy their drinks in some near restaurant without the unnecessary gunshots.

If there wasn't UN forces , they would mosly be alive cause the help was on the way.

Ten years after , the man that was leading those UN troops was on TV again. This time he was receiving a medal for his brave work in service.



So U ask me what I think , I think that U and people like you that know everything from your big plasma screens should know that in war nothing works , no international solider is willing to risk his life unless is attacked and he is there to get his paycheck and return home safely. There are no heroes , there is no God , if you stand in a way to a bullet it will hit you if a fight begins , soldiers are down or they run watching the sky for some air support and protecting their lives

So when a child thinks that you are protecting him , how would you explain him your prime orders  that you are protecting strategic places like oil pumps , and tanks , not him.
Now imagine you were  at the age of 10 that day , and you are one of about 20-30 people that have escaped from that camp where 10 000 were masacred.
Would you support the anti-interventionism in any country when you didn't support them even when they were defending you.



My opinion , well , if the world was normal I would support anyone who wants to stop any fight or torture anywhere , but if they gets there as a spectators , whit hidden purposes, with a plan to wait that fight is over , take credit for that, and builds his army base that he will use for his future military purposes , and conclude some business contracts , then NO I don't.

Lousy answer , KKK had people in high politics , they even had  governors like George Wallace , they had members in police , their crimes were almost legal , and their crimes have not been
processed. Even if they were , you had judges that were also KKK members (cause governor picked them) would set them free. That proves that the power was in their hands.

So you would probably be the first to support international invasion.

Thanks for the answer.


Lets continue , feed a troll again and please answer .Where is that biological weapon , main reason for attacking Iraq ?

You had KKK doing the same thing , or even worse , not so long ago , so did you also needed an invasion ?


What about Guantanamo ? Rapes ? Torture ? No trials, no lawyers .....


And at the same time , blackmailing newer countries that if they want to join NATO the have to sign that the will not prosecute any American solder  in their country nor to deliver him to  international court in Haag no matter what he does , but to deliver him strait to the US justice.


I know I know , you couldn't care less.


You still haven't made your argument for anti-interventionism to the women of Darfur... c'mon we know you can do it..... Yeah, as long as it's not YOUR children, wife getting raped and murdered your ok with it.  I did get get a chuckle how you seem to equate those women to the terrorists in Guantanimo.  I only wish the US govenrment would release all of Guantanimo in your neighborhood and see if you come back making your same arguments.

As a supposed soldier,  you should know you don't release the enemy back onto the battefield when you're still fighting them, unless you're confident they won't take back to fighting. As I suspected, you're a keyboard warrior.





First the worst thing you could be during the war , is being a child , which I was at that time , and I never said I was a soldier.

But people that watched too much Rambo like you probably know better than me what war is.
By the way , speaking of Rambo , whats wit him these days, did he also changed side , or he is still on Afghanistan side ?

Then , not supporting Geneva Convention rules that you signed , doesn't makes you better than terrorist that you are fighting against.

You can always explain the parents of the children who died from your long range missiles
how that was for their good.

You didn't answer the question , where is biological weapons , main reason of the invasion on Iraq ?

Did your government lied ?

Then , you didn't answer , when KKK was doing what it was doing , did USA needed an foreign army invasion ?

Why invading Tibet or many places with similar situation is never been an option , not for USA not for UN.

Who is holding the  responsibility of the fact that USA trained terrorists like B. Laden in US military camps ?

You are God all mighty to know without a trial  that all people at Guantanamo are terrorists , and  they deserve to be raped and tortured ?

Some people told you that fact , the same that told you a story about biological weapons in Iraq.

And your claims that you are paying full price for your gas. I don't know how much , but I'm ready to bet you in whatever you want that I pay more.





And at least , I would be the same critical if it was a matter of my country , like there are Americans that don't think like you.

There are always people on the other side in every nation ,so called patriots , claiming that they always have right , people who put interests of their country and their personal interests in front of anything ,and their mentality is responsible for almost every war that happened.

They alway have patriotic , religious and other good reasons , and the call people like me traitors , cowards, chickens ,hippies etc .

Sometimes in time those people  outnumber us "hippies" and  s..ts start to happen.

If you were born on the other side , you would probably again put your patriotism in front of the clear facts , and support some other actions.



Peace from flower power ,  warrior .

Even if it was bought , the image is copyrighted there under a name that is not mine , its ready to be downloaded in a pretty high res , and its not a part of someone design or something.

Anyway I think that its even popular there, it shows rather high in relevant searches , so I guess Im doing a good job at Flickr considering the fact that I'm not even a member of that site.  ;D


So I guess I have to join now to contact support or something ?

I am - an believe me, while USA and the president do a lot of things which are simple, crude, or outright stupid at times - it does not come even close to the true evil of communism.

Cruelty is not a prerrogative of communism, but of dictatorship.  The dictatorships we had in Latin America for decades - from Argentina to Mexico - were all cruel.  People would simply disappear in the hands of the militaries for the mere suspition of being a "communist".  Everyone who was against the regime was a "communist" for that matter, and that was a reason to justify all types of torture. 

I am not against USA, I'm against any interventionist country, and USA has been the major one lately.

Regards,
Adelaide

I love how all the anti-interventionist people are always the ones in places where there is no genocide or other mass killings going on. I rather hear their opinion, but they're not safe sitting in their home typing on the internet.


Well I was in war , the biggest genocides in Europe after WW2 were happening in my country ,we were fighting against dictators army and regime , we had US officially on our side , and I lived things you wont ever see on your TV.


So I guess I may speak as anti-interventionist  ?

Well , the main reason for attacking Iraq was , not Sadam and his government but  their possession of biological weapons , so they were  huge treat  for the world.

Just wondering where are those "weapons" now , and why nobody speaks of that anymore ?


Bin Laden , the man who was terrorist #1 in the world was educated and trained at St. Andrews , by the US Army , with full support of someones dad.
So If that someone wants to destroy a terrorist training camp isn't the first thing is to do to put a chain in his backyard.


Peace

Don't forget that formally we are not selling anything. Agencies sell our pictures because we gave them the pictures and the right to sell them. What we are getting is a commission which is completely different (from a legal point of view) from "selling" something.

In most countries its not about the selling , its about earning

Very one sided, especially since the reason that our nation (US) has been in an armed conflict since the 1900's it's because it gets attacked first.


Many people would not agree with that , and facts are on their side.

By the way , I like the artistic side of the  video, leaving the political message on side.

Well I did not passed for 3 times now I think. I need one more vector approved , and as I see it they want stuff that is a bit complicated to do , and somehow unique.

I waited for a month and I can try again now , but I I fail this time , I'm stuck for 3 month as I read somewhere , so I will be extreme careful  , cause I missed an unfilled path last time.
