New Sites - General / batch delete option in pond5?

« on: September 11, 2012, 10:50 »

hi all,

I can't find a way to batch delete files in pond5, i have tried to upload some files and are in pending.. i can delete them one by one but I can't find an delete option in the batch processed..

the reason i want to delete those files in pending is because my ftp transfer was interrupted and some files aren't transferred. I don't want to have duplicate images so it is better for me to transfer again..

Photoshop Discussion / isolated method with photoshop masking

« on: August 16, 2012, 03:50 »

Hi all,

I am doing a isolated animal with photoshop masking.. since it is not using pen tool, there is no clipping path, and i found that clipping path isn't for the hairy edge of animal.

What is the best way to preserve the isolation for buyer? I have isolated the animal with transparent pixel around it.

any method to preserve the masking?

I know dreamstime accept png, glstockimages accept tiff and psd file..other than that what is the best way to preserve the isolation? even i have paste it on a pure white, the buyer may still have difficult time so cut it out right?

thank you if you have some tips to share.

Video Equipment / Sofware / Technique / lightroom-undo 'udpate to current process'

« on: July 23, 2012, 03:33 »

hi all,

I try out the lightroom 4 and it automatically reimport all files in my lightroom 4, but an exclamation mark was appeared at the corner and if u click it you will ask whether u want to update to current process(2012)..

instead of trying one of the image i clicked update everything and I closed the lightroom and started again, and i realise the process isn't appeared ok with my old file setting, so now I would like to restore it but the ctrl+z won't do since I have restarted the program, I still can set the file back by going back to history steps, but any way I can do it for all the files instead of doing it to thousand of files?

Bigstock.com / images earning stats

« on: June 29, 2012, 23:14 »

Hi all,

I click the images earnings on bigstock, and it shows history of sales with all different price with 'type' - 'standard photo'.

what standard photo means? will i be able to tell what size it had be sold? is it so as eps vector blah blah..

reason is I want to see if the eps vector selling, since it is hassle to upload to bigstock with eps vector, ftp is not supporting the IPTC, only can do by web interface.

thanks all.
