This sounds like a great idea. I'm not into fractals, but I am trying to learn more about vector illustrations. Know of any forms for that?

Congratulations!
I refused to give up on getting accepted. It was a quite a challenge for me, but I won! And now I get very few rejections for noise. 3

Well, I guess that would explain why I couldn't FTP my photos last night.
Thanks for posting this. 5
StockXpert.com / Re: Need Help To Join Stock Expert at 4th Try- Was Rejected 3 times« on: December 30, 2006, 09:21 »Hi guys. I need help to join Stock Expert!! I have been rejected 3 times and I am not sure what they want. Could those of you who are with Stock Expert kindly go through my portfolios and suggest 5-7 photos I should submit to them to join? You help and assistance is much appreciated. I want to get in on this my 4th Attempt. HELP ME. I feel your pain. I was rejected again, too. The reason? I can't find the email now, but it was something vague: This isn't what we are looking for at this time. I've been accepted at SS and doing well. I've been accepted at IS and am slowly building my portfolio. I've been submitting to numerous other sites for 5 or 6 months. It doesn't make sense. I can't figure out what they want or what they don't want. Do I have to have people shots or what? I'd rather not send those till I am accepted. 6

Thanks for all the input. I started with all of mine at $1. Then I started pricing them at $3, to see if price made much difference. But I've only had 2 dls in about 3 months, so who knows? I keep uploading there because it's so easy.

BigStock runs hot and cold for me - more cold than hot! But I do have a $15 enhanced license that I'm happy with. And dl's are better there than at DT or Fotolia. I'm not going to complain too much.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Okay to shoot in a supermarket or other retail store?« on: November 20, 2006, 11:39 »I was considering shooting some pictures in a local supermarket, and I was wondering if I should ask permission of the manager beforehand, or just take my chances and take the pictures and see what happens.If you're not sure, just talk to the manager - when he/she is not busy. Offer to make a copy on CD of any images that turn out well. 11
General Stock Discussion / Re: Review time/FeaturePics« on: October 26, 2006, 20:00 »
That's been my experience, too. Reviews in about 24 hours and sales are trickling in - unlike some of the others that seem to have gone dry.

LuckyOliver.com / Re: Disapointing image review feedback« on: October 26, 2006, 19:59 »
I'm still waiting for mine to be reviewed. After very quick reviews in just a matter of days, now it's going on a month. I keep uploading more - a few at a time - and now I have over 100 sitting there. I'm very disappointed in what I've seen in the past month. I have 3 sales and my views haven't changed in ages. Absolutely no activitiy. I'll leave my images there a bit longer and see what happens. But I probably won't be uploading anymore any time soon.

There was a note in their blog I think on Sept. 29 saying that they have fixed the problem of the google and other search engine spyders counting as image views or something of that nature. I have had 1 view since that date. Even on other sites that I'm not getting sales, I'm at least getting views so I know there is potential for sales. No hope at LO with no views.

Hmmmmmm . . . I don't remember the dates, but my reviews are only about a week behind. Maybe I should start keeping a log with dates for uploads to all the different sites. But it doesn't really matter how fast or slow they review photos if there aren't any sales.

Microstock News / Re: Dreamstime News« on: October 04, 2006, 17:01 »Well, they're not editorial (since they require a release) and their not photojournalism (since they allow editing). Basically, it is just another category of royalty free images. Not much of a big deal if you ask me.That's what I understood. It's just a 'temporary' category to make it a little easier for buyers to find current newsrelated images. 16

FastStone has a free photo resizer that will also change names in batches. It's a neat little program.

LuckyOliver.com / Re: Disapointing image review feedback« on: October 02, 2006, 12:53 »Yeah, I got the same note and posted in another thread. Also posted on their blog after the remark they left about the best reviews in the business. All I know is that some (although not many) of mine were reviewed and (I assume) some of the reviewed ones were approved. Of course, without sales, it's a moot point.Exactly! And with regards to what was accepted, what not, why, etc., I think they just wanted to get caught up. I think all of mine were accepted - eventually. No need to worry about rejections, I'm sure. 18

What bothers me isn't so much that it happened, but the response to what happened.

LuckyOliver.com / Re: Last chance to upload for credits.« on: September 29, 2006, 10:50 »
yes, if they ever review them. Review time has gone from rather quickly to slower than a snail's pace. I would rather they not give me the tokens and review the images in a timely manner so they can be available for sales. KWIM?

New Sites - General / Re: Image theft« on: September 29, 2006, 10:18 »Well, it won't happen for you in the future if your site goes under. I'm one who had an image 'lifted' that had absolutely no sales. (that tells you something about the thief's poor judgment. If he had only taken images with sales on other sites, it might have been a little more illusive.) But anyway. I haven't yet removed my approved images from your site, just the pending images. I would like a better response to this than I have had so far. I will soon be removing all images and will join others in spreading the word if I'm not satisfied soon. 22

Someone posted a link to a link to this thread on another forum and thought I would check it out. And one of my pics was there! And it was one also submitted to galastock. But is also in my fotolia portfolio, too. Here are the links.
http://www.fotolia.com/id/1297955 http://www.fotolia.fr/id/1332001 As you can imagine, I am very unhappy about this situation. Any suggestions on how to respond and who to contact would be greatly appreciated.
