"The taste of MSG by itself does not in any sense represent deliciousness. Instead, it is often described as unpleasant, and as bitter, salty or soapy..." 

It doesn't matter whether MSC Microstock Shouting Game is delicious itself or not.

What it does matter is it should sound delicious to our ears.

I wouldn't expect regular sales till you have a few hundred images.

These days when I hear my stock shooting friends talk about stock photos they don't mentions about hundreds of images, they talk about 10,000 plus images.

Then again they all shoot stock full-time, think, eat and sleep stock photography. That kind of figures is not that difficult for them to achieve.

This is the type of competition we the weekend shooters are facing now.

Of all the sites I upload to Bigstock has been the most problematic one with errors such as "unable to connect to server", "maximum of 3 logins....".

A friend told me he had stopped uploading to Bigstock because of this and their low sales. He has found it not worth the stress to struggle with such a site.

I just had the entire series all but the first one rejected for the reason "Different images must have different title and description". Is this something new?

I have a few myself.

Yes this is like you can't call bread "bread" everytime you eat it.

You have to call it white stuff, square pieces, things we have for breakfast etc.

This QC person introduces a new dimension in our life. 

BS has never been exciting.  I keep hoping an increase in portfolio size will increase the excitement (sales).  

Wishing you for more excitements!

I have been using a 10MP camera for years.

With everything equal e.g. subjects, lighting, composition etc. would I be able to make more money by upgrading to a 18MP camera?

One obvious disadvantage I see is slowing down uploading time with larger files.

A few of my friends are istock exclusive shooters using 21MP cameras. They told me they rarely sold files of such size in istock. But one of them said 21MP files give him better ranking in istock.

How do we see subscription sales on dashboard?

Has anybody got the money?

It's still NO!

I can't see why Veer can't pay us whenever we request payout over $100 just like any other site.

They are holding our money too long.

I hope they realize photographers have expenses and bills to pay too.

What to do with hidden files?

I can't seem to find the comments from the reviewers. Where are they hidden?

Why do we need to provide ITIN to DP for contributors from countries with tax treaty with USA?

Shutterstock, Fotolia, istock, RF123, Canstock, Bigstock and almost every other microstock don't require such a condition. They have found out we don't need ITIN.

Applying ITIN is such a pain. You practically need to hire a lawyer or accountant in USA to help you with it which easily costs you $250. A friend has tried to do it himself. His applications were rejected by IRS 3 times with little reasons given.

According to DP we're going to face 30% tax withheld without ITIN.

Could anyone point me to a summary of total files approved, total files rejected and total files in review without having to go to several places and to count bars in Photodune?

....and all the current soft rejections I'm just deleting. So I just want the files to go away like hard rejections do without any action on my part.

Deleting soft rejections is a slow and tedious process at this stage. I don't think I have the time to go through them. They are just piling up.

Let's have all rejections be hard one.

A suggestion.

Is there a way to have multiple delete boxes in "Hidden" without having to open each Soft Rejected file and delete it and go back to "Hidden" to delete another file again?
