I'm surprised that a picture that passed SS went on to fail Alamy.

Me too. And I am not the first with photo on SS accepted and on Alamy rejected.
You know, this is pic of an object, on white plexy glass with strobe back light.
As good sales on several stock agencies proves, it is a good one.
But for Alamy was Over manipulated ???

This was good from Tror:
"They should fire the responsible person and rework their whole approval process."

It's not how many per batch that matters, it's how many between Alamy reviews since they will reject ALL outstanding batches if one image fails. My last review was four days ago and I've nowt got about 50 images outstanding in three batches, I'll probably get reviewed again today or tomorrow.  However, if you have a record of rejection you may have to wait a month for the next review - by which time you may have hundreds of images queued.
Really, the only way to limit the damage from rejection is not to get rejected. Once you do, batch size becomes irrelevant, if you limit the number of images between reviews then you will only upload a very small number of images each month. Limiting uploads for fear of rejection makes no sense - just be sure you check each image by pixel-peeping before you send it. These days I process in lightroom, then spend five minutes checking each image in PS before sending.

But is it worth so much work (You wrote five minutes just for checking photos), which , I believe, were already accepted and sold on other stock sites as well, agree?
Then so low sales, as our colleagues wrote.
I really do not know if I will upload in future. I am new on Alamy and after 3 ok accepted batches (40-50 photos), was  suddenly rejected a 40 photos batch, because of one photo (with 350+ sales JUST on SS).
Again, this pics control is not logical and not fair too.

Thnx for Your opinions.
Interesting that all batches in queue (also total different themes) will be rejected, not only the batch with bad photo.
Not logical for me.
And yes,  I also submit photos that have initially passed on SS.
We'll see, how will this Alamy story be in future.

Hi,
how many photos do You submit to ALAMY in one batch?
For now I have 100 % acceptance (new on Alamy) but I know that one bad photo in inspected batch means that entire batch will be rejected.
Do You submit photos from same shooting in one batch?
Or You submit  in batch different photos?

My opinion since I upload 4K an also as Tror wrote:

Automatic Video size conversion (why does a buyer has to download a 4K file when he needs a web clip??? Why am I forced to convert Video res myself and upload XY different versions?

Yes, P5 this is a priority, because SS already has automatic conversion...

« on: October 20, 2014, 06:33 »
Yes, where is Duncan?
Is he still CS boss?

New CS:
No replies from Duncan, support team...
No sales (photos)
No fast reviews as before (everything is stopped)
Everything only processing, processing...
No stats
On CS forums only complaining

Any good news from them?

upload to ss, you will earn 5k$ with 10000 images per mounth

I doubt that most people with 10k images are making 5k/month on SS, or 6-7k, as said by stock-will-eat-itself.  Maybe there are a few, but can anyone back that up?   

I have over 5k images there and do well but hardly ever 3k/month even in better years. 

People are making life decisions.  They need realistic numbers.


Finally one "normal" post with realistic numbers.

General Photography Discussion / Re: Time Lapse Question -
« on: September 07, 2014, 00:32 »
If you're like me, your interest in time lapse photography will wear out long before your shutter will.

I think you should be able to create pans and zooms within your time-lapse if you have larger original file sizes. One advantage of shooting big.

Amen

I decided to deactivate my small video portfolio at IS, you get much better sales volume and royalty at P5 and SS. 15% is ridiculously low and my clips getting no views or sales there anyway!

Congratulations...
Better late than never.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: iStock exclusivity
« on: August 13, 2014, 01:45 »
Just an update on this, glad I wend exclusive :) have been exclusive for 7 days now, had 14 downloads which netted me more than the whole of last month :) if it stays like this then I will reach payout each week, which is more than I expected.

Excellent :)

I noticed your positive comments in the July sales discussion, one of the very few positives in there. When this happens I always check to see what sort of level of sales people have who are doing well. I see you have been at IS for 7 years and have sold >200 files in that period. That's an average of about 3 sales a month. It doesn't take much to improve on that.

Ha ha ha, nchant

and you think that will somebody believe you?
