For tagging, uploading and acceptance details I have been using prostockmaster which seems excellent but I am too new to offer any real opinion, it supports the top four agencies and a few of the others.

Again, Thank you.

Can anyone give an opinion on the extra functionality gained by PS Elements over Gimp 2. Gimp + UF Raw (which are free) seems to have all the functionality I need but I am still learning how to enhance my pictures.

I take on board the "dark" comments. To my eye they seem ok, wonder if its my monitor ?

hmm, very interesting!

I am using gimp rather than photoshop ( feeling virtuos after reading the piracy thread;) ) but I suppose i could have tried something similar, I've never had PS and certainly can't afford it atm and don't want to go down the torrents route.

I didn't wait or get any closer as he was starting to get rather fidgety and there was no fence between us

I use a lot of cow shots for companies selling ear tags

That's good info thanks. Half of my grand total of 7 sales are pics of cows. I hadn't worked out who was buying them, this just shows you have to think outside the box and there are markets that aren't immediately obvious.

Hi,

I am a complete newcomer to photography having picked up my first dslr on fleabay a couple of months ago.
I am having a bash at stock photography as a way of trying to learn and have been uploading to some of the sites with limited success, at the moment I am really enjoying just trying to get pics accepted, the handfull of sales are a bonus.

My dreamstime pics are http://www.dreamstime.com/resp2709173-free-images

and fotolia http://en.fotolia.com/p/202044759

Any observations are more than welcome.

This one http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14783063/cow6.jpg was turned down at crestock for Artifacts and/or Compression flaws. I can't for the life of me see what they mean!
