Yuk. This concept is already out there on all those "logo contest" websites, where buyers get thousands of hours of work and hundreds of drafts to choose from for a few dollars. IStock also did it for a while for vectors (can't remember what it was called). Anyway, sucks hard for contributors.

Unless I am misunderstanding (which I just realised I could well be!) and the request only goes to the one contributor? In that case it is not a bad idea, but I suspect if it was implemented it would end up being like above, with requests being posted publicly and contributors competing. It would be good for the client and agency with only us poor mugs getting the sh*ft so bound to happen.

You're thinking of spec work, but that seems different than what Sepia100 implies. This sounds more like assignment work (one-on-one) where the contributor learns more about the needs of a certain buyer and the buyer can communicate what he's looking for.

I might fill in the survey later today.


That's just the usual client / photographer relationship probably with a minuscule budget!

AS site needs a lot of work to get the functionality that FT had, still find it the most user unfriendly of all the MS sites.

Not a single sale since the Getty tie-in. Had about 20 sales before, the highest being $66.50 net. How things change!

Adobe Stock / Re: Adobe/Fotolia earnings falling since end january
« on: February 14, 2019, 03:05 »
I'm seeing the same very slow Feb after Jan which was my BME for downloads and $ after 9 years with Fotolia.

Everything is far too large, any way reduce the size of everything and crop out all the white space. The sooner this fashion is out of date the better. Don't even start on the keyword list!

36
Trying to access the management area for uploading/portfolio etc on AS but can't find it. All I can find is my account overview/profile. Good start! Any help appreciated.

Fotolia.

Lowest downloads and earnings in 10 years except for my 1st year, AS beat SS nearly every month which is the only positive. It's the opposite of what I expected would happen with regular uploads.

Photodune, Stockfresh and Yay for the same reasons as above. Still waiting for final payment from Yay after a month, anyone have problems getting paid from them?

SS within 5% of every month of the year in downloads and $ as usual (no cap!). AS continues the slow climb (the only positive), everywhere else practically dead.

General - Stock Video / Re: "Crossroads" on Shutterstock
« on: November 25, 2018, 05:38 »
What worries me too is shuterstocks rocketstock.com collection. They have basically been watching what sells and make their own versions of it. They have copied loads of my texture video clips. Cheats....

Let them know there's blatant copying going on and get the account closed!

Rushay, PM'd you. Enjoy.

Hello I'm not Mat  ;) but the original announcement said or give to a friend. I know someone who got the code, gave it to a friend, and he installed it, worked fine, no ID association. Since that's a real life situation, I'm proposing that you can give the code away and there's nothing that says who it was originally sent to. Good for one person, one Adobe account, up to two personal computers, just like the rest of Adobe software.

And to answer a question I asked before and no one seemed to know. If you register today it's good for one year to date, to the day, not by month or week or anything else.


I have a code if anyone wants it.

Alamy.com / Changes to your contributor contract
« on: October 15, 2018, 06:58 »
So we agree to give away images!

9.1. In addition to the promotion rights set out in 8.3 above you grant Alamy permission to sell your Images at any price and by any method we feel appropriate and to supply Images to third parties without Alamy having to consult you, including but not limited to trials with new Customers, prototypes/proof of concept and high volume low unit price licences. Where Alamy does not make a charge to these third parties, you will not receive payment.

New Sites - General / Re: Zoonar tax form
« on: October 15, 2018, 03:14 »
Had the same problem last year and still don't know which form to fill in. I've emailed Z 3 times but all they say is go to the link with a long list of forms in German. Why can't they just have a specific link like every other site. Lost a chunk from the last payout but it wont happen again for quite a while so maybe by then it will be sorted!

If anyone knows the answer please post.
