Canva / Odd keywords
« on: January 19, 2017, 03:51 »
OK, so when I send up a fully keyworded pic, with title, somebody at CV goes through it, changes the title (often wrongly) and keywords (often strangely).
It's their ball and their game....but seems a waste of everybody's time.

New Sites - General / What do 500px actually sell?
« on: November 23, 2016, 08:11 »
I mean, they used to sell pretty much one size canvas prints, I seem to recall.  But now????

The problem is that I typically put my (best) photos on more than one site, but would like to have some consistency of pricing across all sites.  With FAA you can choose price (markup), my own site ditto. But 500px?

How have other people dealt with this please? Is there any way on 500px I can set size/price, for example? Or is it basically just the microstock model where 500px sell whatever they can for whatever they can get - and just give us a percentage of that. I really just need to see their price list and purchase option (shown to customers) I guess....

I did look on their site but found no useful info.

Cheers.

CanStockPhoto.com / Can't upload to Canstock

ftp seems to be down again......
No great shakes, images rarely sell and keyword rejections are mad.
But just wanted to whinge.

Canva / Canva Rejection (S)
« on: October 11, 2016, 01:23 »
I do find their site difficult to navigate so am probably missing something....however....
Rejection (S) I guess probably means Soft Rejection
ie I can tweak and resubmit if I want.
But is there a way to know WHY it was rejected ie what to tweak?
Or am I completely misunderstanding....
Normally, I wouldn't worry but recently they rejected what I think is a good and commercial photo....

iStockPhoto.com / Change in US tax W8BEN????
« on: October 09, 2016, 10:24 »
I've just completed this - again - but have been notified that without a US or foreign TIN they will take full tax from me at 30%.
In the past this has never happened. Has something changed or should I put a tax number from here (Italy) in? Any ideas please?

iStockPhoto.com / Is hero upload software still working for you?
« on: October 09, 2016, 09:15 »
I can't get it to work now and have contacted the main guy - I know he's generally pretty good at getting back - but wonder if it is just me.....and whether I need to make alternative arrangements....
I've been off these sites for a while and maybe something has happened....

« on: October 06, 2016, 05:10 »

Top tier.
Just that I've had a few lately.....and it's a new number.

GLStock / Anybody working at GL?
« on: January 13, 2013, 07:21 »
It's nice to see GL getting involved in the IS discussion on this site, but it would also be nice if they replied to messages left for Support on theirs...
Herrumph!

I'm not really an illustrator, but sometimes add PS elements to photos which are then jpg.  I'm never sure whether to categorize them as illustrations or photos. Any guidelines or advice would be appreciated.

Nice to get reminded why I don't submit to DP any more - but is this a record?

Shutterstock.com / Forum down...
« on: November 24, 2012, 10:56 »
Server errors when logging in, loads more captcha - now forum down (again) and this:

Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.

The proxy server could not handle the request GET /forum/.

Reason: Could not connect to remote machine: Connection refused

Oh - and NO sales today. No idea if there's any connection.....

Sigh............

IS     1.38
FT     0.41
DT    1.12
123  0.82
CS    2.25

Anybody else care to share, just out of interest?

Adobe Stock / 49.9955 credits
« on: October 29, 2012, 05:21 »
Couldn't resist sharing this! 
I finally saw I had 50 credits at Fotolia, given that I no longer upload to them due to their truly feeble payment rates. But when I tried to convert the credits into money, I could not do so, so I contacted Support.
Their reply posted below!
I've not seen a decimal like that since I left school!!!!
What precision.....!

The figure of 50 credits you are seeing is rounded up. You currently have 49.9955 credits available. After your next sale you will be able to convert your credits.

Alamy.com / Alamay, micros and Editorial
« on: September 10, 2012, 03:24 »
Hoping for some clarification here....

I know that I mustn't submit general RF micro photos to Alamy as RM.
BUT
if I understand correctly, any Editorial photos (with logos, products, people etc) submitted to Alamy automatically become RF.
So does this mean that I must choose EITHER to send Editorial to the micros OR Alamy?

Maybe I'm just easily confused but advice appreciated!

Dreamstime.com / Can't upload Model or Property Releases
« on: May 03, 2012, 13:33 »
Is it just me??? I emailed support a while back about the MR but heard nothing. Still can't get an MR through - and today I find the same problem with a Property Release. I get this message:

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Both MR and PR are jpeg and in the past I have sent some up...

Shutterstock.com / Problems accessing SS forum
« on: February 13, 2012, 05:17 »
Hi - until recently this was just a click on the menu button and voil! Now I get a message saying that access to the forum is:
application/x-httpd-php (14.2 kB)
and Firefox queries whether I want to save it - or else I have the option of browsing for a programme to open it (but which one???).
Anybody else having this problem?
What should I do?
I would, of course, have posted this query in the SS forum....but I can't get in ;)

General Photography Discussion / IPTC in Corel Paintshop ProX4
« on: February 02, 2012, 07:53 »
I'm just trying out this software and can find no way to add keywords to images for microstock - I've tried Tags, and in the Description field but nothing transfers via Filezilla.
I gather some Corel users use other programmes for adding and saving keywords which sounds fairly cumbersome.
Is it really not possible to do this within Corel?
I've looked around for an answer, but since I downloaded the software, I don't have access to a manual - so help much appreciated!

Software - General / Java problem?
« on: January 28, 2012, 11:36 »
I just downloaded a Java update (6 Update 30). Now Photoshop won't work. Have restarted the computer, tried to uninstall and reinstall PS but it won't let me uninstall (says I need to close Bridge first but Bridge isn't open) ....

Anybody else notice this or is just coincidence?

Any views?

:(

Problems logging in, then the new Agreement screen - but earnings stats all wrong and main info section ('more') inaccessible.

Veer / Language problems
« on: September 05, 2011, 03:16 »
I signed up with Veer on the English speaking version of the site because I speak English. The system (?) has now decided that because I have an Italian email address, I want the site in Italian. Any idea how I can change back to the English version - maybe I'm missing something, but I can't find this info. Support have yet to reply...
Cheers for any help.
