I can't log in and when I ask for my password, they say my account does not exist. Anyone having problems similar to mine? I gave my email address to sort it out but they say I don't exist.

Strawberry blossom about the size of very small pea. As I said, just testing the waters. Without the stack would not have been able to get the shot.

I do find it time consuming to say the least, but I love macro, bugs in particular and want to spend this summer doing that.

Serious interest. Started playing around with Zerene and ControlMyNikon software and like the results. I was wondering about the rejection rate for stacked images across the sites.

Has anyone had success with stacked images from Zerene or Helicon focus.

I don't know that broken Public Info is affecting sales but something seems to be?  Really bad start to May.  And April was good but went out on a whimper.

Same here!

I see MSG has already been aware of it. I'm so far behind all this referral stuff and partner programs, it makes my head spin. It's old news, forgive me for bringing it back up.

After watching the vids, I would definitely want to be part of this even though I need to learn a whole lot about it. Not up to speed on programming.

why don't you IS and Getty haters, just close your accounts and be free of your perpetual whining? surely you have better things to do with your life than complain all the time, it really gets boring don't you think? CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNTS and stop complaining, PLEASE. i really don't understand how anyone can be so miserable about one company, yet stick around and gripe daily.

to get an idea why it is not so easy for those of us with families to support to just delete our ports as much as we would like to.


I'm one who deleted my whole port. But I can't afford to keep it that way. I am a senior with a spouse with parkinson's and lewy body dementia. I have begun to upload select images again because I am a 24/7 caregiver and am hurting for income. In hind site, for me anyway, this was very costly. istock was my number one site until they started screwing us a couple of years ago. Shutterstock has since taken that slot and am grateful for it.

Life is not always a bed of roses for most of us.

I don't complain a whole lot, but sometimes corporate decisions have major consequences on people.

It's clear that istock will do whatever it takes to feed it's bottom line.
This deal just affirms what Jesus said:

Let your yes be yes and your no be no, all else comes from evil.

It's all deception, its our work they are playing with.

iStockPhoto.com / istock update for non-exclusives
« on: March 21, 2013, 17:31 »
 Royalty rates for exclusive content will not change and will be paid at the standard 20% rate. We have set a new non-exclusive rate of 15% for all non-exclusive iStockphoto content licensed through all Getty Images properties (outside of iStockphoto), including single image sales in the Partner Program.  The rates for content licensed from iStockphoto will remain as they are currently listed on the Rate Schedule. The new rate will come in to effect on or after April 20, 2013.

It's like pbase. When I would look to see how certain lenses worked with different cameras I would search pbase for samples. Just google any camera and lens and pbase and you get a lot of samples. Same deal. I like it just for that. Feeds the lens lust.

Looks to me that they are taking a direct shot at getty collection and vetta. Not looking to take out rf micro, they want the top end of the market.

So I guess, since there is nothing new on the subject, that istock is just going to let this slide and expect everyone to accept it as policy. Sad, this does not bode well as it will effect all other agencies over time. That's my opinion, I have nothing to back it up except their refusal to give any hint that it's not so.
