Might be a good supplment in the right country, though maybe a bit more risky then objects isolated on white.  ;D

iStockPhoto.com / New Istock Referral Program
« on: July 27, 2011, 10:26 »
I never read the Istock forums anymore, but they sent me an email, so I checked it out. 

http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=332308&page=1

Shockingly,  ::) there are significant loopholes that allow Istock to avoid paying out the referral program bonus.

General Stock Discussion / Model says you can't use somebody who looks like me in an ad
« on: July 21, 2011, 09:53 »
Do I understand this correctly?

http://www.usatoday.com/money/advertising/2011-07-21-kim-kardashian-old-navy_n.htm

The argument is basically that somebody who looks like her can't make a living as a model.

General Stock Discussion / Wrong image on stamp, blames "stock photography service"
« on: April 15, 2011, 19:45 »
U.S. Post office used the wrong Statue of Liberty image on a new stamp, blames a "stock photography service".   ::)

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/15/us/15stamp.html
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13101814

And that had to be an editorial image since the Las Vegas one should be under copyright.  Does the post office qualify as commercial?   3 billion stamps should be one hell of an EL.

iStockPhoto.com / iStockphoto.com- Editoral Use only: An Update on What's Popular
« on: April 11, 2011, 16:47 »
Did I wake up on the dumb side of bed again?

Just got this newsletter from Istock about what editorial images are selling.  One of the sections of what's selling is "Global Coverage: There's a lot going on these days the world is a busy place. This leaves online and print publishers hungry for images that can help deliver context and tell stories."

One of the images in that section of the newsletter is picture of a protest/calibration from Egypt.  Following the link to a lightbox, the first three images are protest type images.  

Is this not news and therefore not permitted?  

Edited to ad that I've not been following any discussions of what is "editorial" at Istock, so maybe they've changed their perspective?

General Stock Discussion / A list of partner programs
« on: April 06, 2011, 17:08 »
In the short time that Ive been reading the MSG Ive noticed that people are constantly asking who is this company, how did they get my images and are they legit?  Generally it turns out to be a partner of some sort, but there is no central list of partners, so I thought Id start one. 

Im going to classify as a partner anyone that has a relationship with a microstock company that results in that company appearing to have our images for sale or use.     

Ive listed the micros that Ive been following, and the partners that Ive identified (or have been suggested/claimed to be a partner), with a link to a confirmation or at least a discussion of the partner and its relationships to one of the micros.  Im not following everyone and Im sure Ive missed lots of stuff, so Id welcome your input.

1-27-13 - Sorry not to update sooner, but I'm no longer able to post process/upload stock (wrist problems) so I don't come here all that often.  Given that its 10 months since my last update and I could only find 2 new items to add, not sure that I'll make any more updates to this list.

iStockPhoto.com / Istock raises payouts to partner program
« on: February 23, 2011, 20:33 »
http://www.istockphoto.com/forum_messages.php?threadid=307512&page=1

Here are the new Partner Program commissions, (retroactively) effective January 1, 2011:

Non-exclusives will earn 28 per download (was 25).

Exclusives will earn the following amounts per download, according to their current royalty level here at iStock:
25% at iStock - 38 (was 30)
30% 40 (was 32)
35% 42 (was 34)
40% 44 (was 36)
45% 46 (was 38)

So Istock is seeking to encourage participation at the low end while discouraging it at the mid-level (cutting commissions)

JJRD's comment "Thanks to you for fighting, KK." seems to suggest that KK wanted to raise PP payouts, but somebody above him needed convincing.

Insert jokes about sustainability here

iStockPhoto.com / Time to celebrate?

Oh goody

Sounds like Istock is getting ready to send its favorite admins, inspectors, (AKA Vetta contributors) and a randomly chosen representative contributor off for another big party.

Why aren't parties unsustainable?

iStockPhoto.com / Editoral Submissions Now Accepted

Have to say I'm not very excited.  Wish they would hold off on new features until they've fixed the ones that are broken.

Lots of wooyahs however
