I am also not a top contributor, but for sure I will only upload JPG versions of my vectors to SS and vectors to all other agencies hoping they will change back everything soon (and then I will upload my vectors too).

You can see the file and the metadata after you upload, you can also edit it, and after you can submit for review. I hope that was the question.

It is still possible (until april 8th on shutterstock and on other sites). You fill in the title/description and keywords in the JPG file and then after uploading that information automatically fills in on the site. I only do this once, and then upload to several websites. Now you can understand better our frustration about this change (=extra work to put the metadata somewhere else only for shutterstock). 155

"making uploading vectors and earning money easier than ever"
I hate these kind of exciting news.. Whenever I see e-mails that start like this, I know something is wrong. Do agencies really think contributors can be fooled with this? It is obvious that uploading will be a pain in the ass, so who are they trying to fool? I am sorry this is not exciting news and uploading will not be easier at all. I hope shutterstock will listen to contributors and abandon this "exciting change". 156

I already sent another mail after one week, so I'll just wait. I'm getting really good at this (waiting). 158

Adobe Stock / Re: Change to sales notification email« on: March 14, 2019, 08:45 »
I guess some people are really hard to please.
I don't get why is it soo important to get e-mail notification in the exact moment the sale happens? Can someone explain what is the use of that? Maybe I am missing something. There are no e-mail notifications at all on most of the other sites, and I don't see anyone complaining. I still find AS one of the most contributor friendly sites. 160
Alamy.com / Re: Longest wait to get paid?« on: March 06, 2019, 06:03 »
I have uncleared sales since august 2017. I was just wondering what to do about this. I guess I should contact them. Or wait to see if I can reach the 2 years waiting period and brake some record.

Newbie Discussion / Re: Direct contact from a customer?« on: February 05, 2019, 05:39 »Maybe it works differently for photographs, I am an illustrator and I got several custom work requests through shutterstock (I put my e-mail in my profile description). I saw many artists having their contact info (personal website or e-mail) in the profile description, and I have my info there for 10 years. I don't think it's forbidden. Customers contact me if they want a custom illustration not to buy already existing content. 163

It doesn't work anymore. There used to be this option on SS to set up automated tweets or fB posts, for accepted images, or sales. I think it stopped working a couple of years ago. 165

I don't do any other marketing, no website or FB or insta just a twitter account for doing automated tweets whenever I had work accepted. Some customers also contacted me through that. 166

Image Sleuth / Re: someone selling my vector on shutterstock« on: December 12, 2018, 12:56 »Any Luck on this yet? maybe change the title to be about Fotolia/ Adobe now so Matt sees it? The image I have reported was deleted today (and also some images that others I have managed to contact reported) but the portfolio is still online. It's pretty disappointing to see people can get away so easily with this kind of "practice" . I PM-ed Matt but he just told me to file the DMCA. 170
Image Sleuth / Re: someone selling my vector on shutterstock« on: December 10, 2018, 07:09 »
The portfolio is no longer on shutterstock, but still online on adobestock (2 weeks after reporting). In the meantime I found several other artists' stolen work in this port (some of them I managed to contact so they also reported it). I wonder how much longer will it take...

AFAIK on all sites you have to be the infringed author to complain (otherwise they do nothing). In this case I reported mine, Dog-maDe-sign will report his (hopefully) and when I have a bit more time, I will try to find contacts to others again. 175

I am sorry to hear that, but at least my post was not in vain. I have also found more stolen vectors in this port (with google reverse image search), but could not find the contacts of original artists. Please report those from adobe stock also (even if you are not a contributor there). |
