Adobe Stock / Re: Question about country in pictures
« on: December 06, 2009, 11:10 »
oh-oh so i did it all wrong :(
i might write to support regarding that. i have started only a while ago and only about 25 pics online now, so they might be able to change it...

156
really a beautiful idea. too bad i am not doing portaits.  :(

157
I think Spyder is not Pantone, the company is Colorvision. And then you need to know the version of the Spyder also. Spyder 2 is older, but sold still for the express version, and Spyder 3 is the new one. I bought a Spyder 2 express. The software is not good, but you can use coloreyes trial version which is very good.
in my opinion this is not good - where did you find it?

Hey,

I just wanted to suggest, maybe it would be great to have a mobile version of the forum site so that users can read it on PDAs, iPhones and the like. What do you think? (OK i don't want to make you work, it's just an idea).

Adobe Stock / Question about country in pictures
« on: December 06, 2009, 09:22 »
I have a (rather stupid) question about the country you state in your FT pictures... I thought up to now it is the country where I live, so I always put Canada... but does it maybe stand for the country where the picture has been taken?

Thanks and sorry for my newbie question..  ::)

Microstock, the agencies make money, the new agency of the month club is prospecting, staking claims and going bust, some photographers are making the profits and most are searching but find it's like wandering in the mountains, finding just brown rocks or Fools Gold.

...


Fantastic post!  :D

yeah... i am doing that, remember the other thread about monitors... i ordered the 245T, but it is backordered everywhere and i still haven't received it  >:(

Oh yes, I do remember.  You definitely made the right choice.  Too bad so many others did the same thing.  Hope you get it soon. Maybe in time for Christmas? :D

hehe finally i ordered it on ebay today  ;D.
all other companies have it backordered not earlier than january!! how can it be  ???
the guy on ebay is an Austrian photographer living in NYC, me Austrian living in Montreal, that's the best about it hehehe.

Guys calibrate your monitors, it is essential, there is no doubt about it. it doesnt have to be expensive. you can even borrow a calibrator from someone else from time to time or share expenses with someone or join a photo club and use theirs or whatever. but do it.

164
monitor calibrators are not that expensive...if you buy a spyder2 express its about 70 or 80$... and then you can use the coloreyes display pro demo version, it works very well. the spyder2 is maybe not the best...but if you want to save money it is ok in terms of the results. (don't use that express software though, for me it was a disaster...)

I also find it nonsense - I don't know why they do it like this...
 ???

168
i think monitor calibration is essential.
i was editing pictures on my laptop for a while....and people kept telling me "wow your pictures are so crazy....colorful, yellow, saturated" and so on.
i thought they are just boring ;-) until i saw my own pictures on another monitor....everything was horribly yellow and totally oversaturated. (oh and i like colors...but it was definitely overdone).
simply my laptop screen was too cold and so to make it look nice i shifted everything over to warm tones and saturated tones...
not good. if you just put them on the web or so, fine. if you sell them, definitely no.

« on: November 24, 2009, 23:49 »

StockXpert.com / Min size at stockxpert?
« on: November 18, 2009, 23:30 »
Is there a minimum size limit at StockXpert? I just uploaded a few pictures, and while categorizing them they were already accepted. ALL 25 of them in one batch and within just an hour or so! Last time they took over 2 weeks and accepted maybe 65% or so
The strange thing is that for one photo I made a mistake and uploaded a 800x533 photo.... and they accepted it...  ???
Is that normal?
