I just took a look at poll results. I don't know what to think about Regimages, ArcticStock, Paxxion, Vivozoom, PhotoCase, Photospin... that suddenly appear among best selling sites. I wonder if it is real or fake.

New Sites - General / Re: GL still losing my uploaded files-anyone else with this issue?« on: April 03, 2011, 14:51 »Yeah, I've said it before, but I'm still having the problem - they never get to the "unfinished" section, for me to be able to get them into pending. It happened to me few times. Maybe it nonsense or bad luck but it looks to me that I was not able to see images that have absolutely same file name like images that I have already uploaded in the past (it happens as I have bought new camera so my files are named DSC0000 from zero again). When I uploaded image again with changed named, it was ok. But it really can be just strange circumstance. 605

If I rememeber well for example at Zoonar you must keep your images there for 6 months before deleting. 606

Great month.
BME - total, Shutterstock, Dreamstime, 123rf, Fotolia and even PantherMedia Average Veer, GLO and Deposit Canstock and BigStock were disappointing in March. 607

Thanks Michael,
I have one more question - vectors are offered only by Zoonar and not by parnters? 611
iStockPhoto.com / Re: IS illustrator master Russel Tate gone« on: April 01, 2011, 01:59 »
I still don't understand what made so talented illustrator do something like this. You can disagree but for me the differences between orginal tutorials and his images are too small not to be called copies.
They didn't say they wouldn't accept images based on tutorials but at iS they do all they can to get rid of all nonexclusives so they don't want images that are published everywhere just after some interesting tutorial is published. 612
Panthermedia.net / Re: What Happened at Panther Media?« on: March 31, 2011, 09:35 »
I can live with it - bugs appear from time to time.
But their approval times, it's a different story. 613
Panthermedia.net / Re: What Happened at Panther Media?« on: March 31, 2011, 09:27 »
My images are back, but acceptance rate is still 0.
But... if I upload series of images that reviewer for some reason doesn't like and rejects it completely and then it takes another xx weeks (soon will be months) until another approving process - acceptance rate is calculated from last three months so.... 0% for few weeks is theoretically not impossible. Edit: acceptance rate is now ok 614
Panthermedia.net / Re: What Happened at Panther Media?« on: March 31, 2011, 08:35 »
Hopefully it will change back to normal - i can find my images.
I'd rather kiss Gaddafi than upload all files to Panther again. 615

Even worse. All my approved files are gone. I have 0 of accepted files.

Thanks for your answer. These images are obviously not newsworthy. It's a pity that images like that cannot be sold without retouching all logos (still with uncertain reviewers decision). I think that there are potential buyers for these images. I'll recommend to my friend to take some pictures of a woman with scale and apple (green if available) instead.
Oh, I didn't know that I can speak french. 617

All of them would be sold at least once - if Mr. Buzzfeed would pay for them.

It is normal. At PantherMedia. It's because of some paypal account verification.

RedScarlet, you are lucky guy that you make so much money at ebay because it seems that your days at microstock are over.

Shutterstock.com / Description for editorial images shot in atelier« on: March 23, 2011, 04:34 »
Friend of mine (his English is even worse than mine - so I have to ask) has a collection of images of old cars that he shot in his atelier. He tried to upload few of them to Shutterstock as editorial. They were rejected - not because of technical quality but because of description.
I know how description of editorial images should like but what to fill in description when it is shot in atelier and not at exhibition or similar place? Any idea? I thought that reviewers would understand that it is impossible to use usual SS Description format for editorial images. Thanks for help. |
