Adobe Stock / Re: Rejections at FT ?« on: September 27, 2007, 07:05 »
Yes, more rejections are being handed out! The only problem I have with that is that some of the rejected files had more sales potential and quality than some of the files that where accepted from my submissions.
Meaning that the rejected files are doing well at all the sites I submit too. Fotolia is also my second best selling site, so I'm familiar with what has been selling at this site. 130

iStockPhoto.com / Re: Isolations at iStock« on: September 16, 2007, 10:33 »I'm going crazy trying to get my isolations accepted at iStock. Your'e not alone! Istock is the only agancy my isolations have a problem getting accepted. The most common rejection being "edges too feathered" even when the feathering is set betwween .05-.08 with a 1 pixel edge width. I include a clipping path to most of my isolations which means I use the pen tool to isolate with. They sell very well at the other agencies I submit to and I'm sure they would at Istock also. The response time from Scout, if any, is about as long as their review time, approx. 2 weeks for me. 133
General - Top Sites / Re: How the big six rank for me« on: September 02, 2007, 19:44 »I agree with sharply - IS easily holds the best long term potential for me. There's no doubt that IS and the other "pay per download" sites are set up for the long hall! SS is like a committed marriage. You have to keep it alive or else it will die on you! 134
General - Top Sites / Re: How the big six rank for me« on: September 02, 2007, 16:25 »IS, for me, holds by far the most promise for long term earnings. On IS it comes down to what and how many photos I've gotten accepted on that site! I have by far the smallest portfolio there (87 images) compared to the other sites but I've still made it to the bronze canister. As far as what action I'm taking to get more accepted is for me to continue to progress as a photographer and hope they accept more of what I contribute. 135
General - Top Sites / How the big six rank for me« on: September 02, 2007, 14:32 »
With all the criteria that goes into how well you perform on a site I look at the bottom line on earnings made to rank the "big six". I've started contributing to the "big six" within the same year and here's how they rank for me in terms of money generated.

I would just resubmit if you have a strong feeling about the photo. Good chance it will get accepted a second time if the quality is there!

Adobe Stock / Re: Strange happenings at Fotolia« on: August 16, 2007, 11:14 »
I've always had nice success at Fotolia, but there is a search engine issue that prevents customers from viewing everthing in your portfollio. This of course results in a lower opportunity to make sales.

Adobe Stock / Re: Fotolia V.2« on: July 10, 2007, 06:50 ».... I have no idea how they are finding the images. Anybody got any idea? The category search is how it's being done. Can't wait till the keyword search gets fixed! 142
Adobe Stock / Re: FL Issues« on: June 20, 2007, 14:08 »not be able to upload is annoying but I can understand, not being able to get at those hard earned credits is very annoying. Not being able to cash out your credits is really annoying!!! They're supposedly working on it so I will be more patient. But I sure could use that $100+ now! 143
Adobe Stock / Re: Fotolia V.2« on: June 17, 2007, 22:59 »
I'm not not able to convert my credits because of a required form field (EIN) that is missing on the form and is preventing me to continue on to convert the credits to cash.
Anyone else experiencing this? I left message with support! There forum isn't working at the moment. 144
Adobe Stock / Re: Fotolia V.2« on: June 17, 2007, 06:23 »
Their site is running much slower for me than the previous version and my system is connected via fiber optics! Are they using a new connect address for uploading via ftp? My connection to them no longer works and the flash upload via their site is unbearably slow.
Seems like they overcommitted themselves! Hopefully all the kinks will be erased this week cause this is one of my top selling sites! 145

The account information tag is floating in front of whatever page you try to view. I also get a blank screen when I try to view the forum.

Shutterstock.com / Re: more detailed stats at Shutterstock« on: April 22, 2007, 09:45 »after browsing through some of the more recent threads I thought it was time for something a bit more constructive so I thought i would start making suggestions for things I would like to see at various sites. I have no where near as many photos on SS as you do but I'm able to view individual image download amounts under "Download Stats / by Subscription Download". 149
Photoshop Discussion / Re: Adjustment layers question« on: April 20, 2007, 14:17 »
Let me see if I'm understanding you correctly. You edit your photos using layers in Photoshop. You isolate your images sometimes by creating a mask by using a layer were you use the brush tool to reveal brightened areas in your photo that you desire. Are you sure you don't mean the eraser tool? Now your brush tool isn't working.
You may not have the layer your working on selected. This is indicated when you see the "eye" icon to the left of the layer. A simple oversite like that can prevent a tool from working. Hope this helps! 150
General Stock Discussion / Slooooow Monday« on: April 09, 2007, 13:59 »
We'll this has officially been a slow Monday for me at all the sites I submit to!
Has it been like this for anyone else? Not trying to have a "pity party" but wonder if it could be mainly due to the Easter holiday. |
