If it will go on like this the only chance how to take photographs of architecture will be building of my own city.

New Sites - General / Re: Odd sale at VectorStock
« on: March 22, 2011, 03:53 »
I found this: Vectors are priced in 4 categories depending on the type of illustration, design and license option. Note: Not all files have Expanded license options. 1 Credit = $USD1.
1 credit Standard license or 25 with Expanded license
3 credit Standard license or 50 with Expanded license
5 credits Standard license or 75 with Expanded license
10 credits Standard license or 100 with Expanded license

Your sale is probably "25 with Expanded license" - (25% out of 25 USD is 6.25)


I would like to know where rejected files at VectorStock go and see reason of rejection. This site is bit confusing.

Found mine too, except they are under my real name, not my photo name. Pfft

Thanks. That was the reason - I didn 't have my real name at 123rf visible.

Mine are there as well. With 123rf number but it doesn't show author of image. Just  "image by  blank space"        


Just checked some of mine there and all those I looked had my correct name as author. Anyone else checked theirs? Regards, David.


I was afraid I am the only one but fortunately I am not: http://hemistock.com/stockphoto/photo/5155734.html

Illustration - General / Re: Best selling VECTOR sites?
« on: March 19, 2011, 12:23 »
I didn't want to upload to Vectorstock because of low commissions and high payout. But then I wanted to try and I had few downloads with only eight images online. Now I have cca 100 images there and it looks that I will reach payout on Christmas. It's not that bad - with a few thousands of images it could be interesting.

Yes. I'm tired of it. These images are on Pixmac as well - I don't know how long it will take to 123 to remove them. But on Pixmac I can see author at least.

I'm really looking forward to see some list of affiliates one fine day...

Two days ago i found this http://www.stockphotos.cz/
It is absolutely sure that it affiliated as site forwards you directly to Dreamstime when you want to buy an image.  :-\

Print on Demand Forum / Re: Strange payment from Zazzle
« on: March 18, 2011, 10:17 »
I'm bad accountant but this seems so be just crazy. My country has a tax treaty or how it is called with U. S. and I have already sent my Declaration of Taxes for 2010 to authorities.
I doubt that authorities are so open minded and do not care that my total income is just some approximate figure because I do not know how much I made at Zazzle because they solve taxation of my US income with one year delay.

Just took a brief look at "Latest Photos". They seem to have no approval proccess they just take anything.

637
No, compared to Veer, PantherMedia or 123rf these days they are fast like ninja.


Edit: It seems that if you say "ninja" your images at 123 are approved within hour.

CanStockPhoto.com / Do you sort images to categories?
« on: March 14, 2011, 07:41 »
I would like to ask whether you sort images after approval to categories or leave them as they are?
Do you think it helps to sell and it is worth extra time spent on it?
Thanks for your opinions.

Illustration - General / Re: What is wrong with this vector?
« on: March 08, 2011, 03:50 »
I have same problems when saving in CS5, looks like you use CS 3 but problem is absolutely same. I tried to discuss it with SS and then it worked well for short time (they wrote "problem solved - no more glitches") but it's same again. Unfortunately the only way that works for me reliably is opening file in old AI10 software, copy image to blank document and save.
I think that there is something wrong in scripting of eps that says to their system that file is wrong.
I know absolutely nothing about script but this "%ADOBeginClientInjection: DocumentHeader "AI11EPS"" looks strange to me.

It seems that number of visits does not correspond with sales. According to number of unique visitors 123rf would be  agency no.3.

BTW I think the second image (NOT-Yuri) could be used for an editorial article better than Yuri's image, because it looks more "real".

But apple looks plastic  ;)

Illustration - General / Re: how to add IPTC into eps 8 file?
« on: February 22, 2011, 07:20 »
hello, guys:

I have some problem adding IPTC data into my EPS 8 files.
everytime when i type keywords ..etc into my file by illustrator cs4 and click ok to save it,it shows nothing when i reopen the file .how to deal with this issue,i mean when i save as ai then its ok ,i can read the IPTC data but eps don't!! ???

thanks!!



Put your IPTC data to Photoshop preview file. It works for most of the agencies.

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but could you please give a brief explanation on how to do this? Can you do it from Illustrator, or do you need some other software ? Photoshop ?
iSyndica used to mistakenly add IPTC data to the EPS file which resulted in rejections at some agencies and a personal note from Crestock that most of my portfolio had been removed due to corrupted files (that weren't discovered initially when the images were reviewed). Since then I haven't dared exploring IPTC options, so I keep all my keywords, descriptions and titles in seperate .txt documents which makes it a pain uploading to new agencies.

Most of agencies take EPS10 that include IPTC data and I had never problems with it (except past glitches at SS - when saved in CS5), so I'm not 100% sure, if data are taken from illustrator file or from preview .
In fact - the only agency where I send eps8 is VectorStock - for them I export illustration directly from illustrator as JPG and IPTC data are kept. Then just crop preview in Photoshop to the required size and send it as they want with eps8 and it works. If you use "save for web" in Photoshop, don't forget to include Metadata (as default they are not included). But I have no experience with Crestock.

Mr. Barton probably thinks that more expensive photos = higher income for poor and exploited artists.
I think that more expensive photos = much more stolen photos and no income for no more exploited but even poorer artists.
