Shutterstock.com / Re: New dimension for EPS files (4 megapixels)« on: June 14, 2019, 19:02 »I can't be alone in this. I got an email yesterday from Shutterstock that basically said, "Hey, you haven't contributed for awhile, why don't you upload some stuff? Please?" Haha, really? I haven't uploaded for a while since the 4MP thing, but I did not receive this email yet. 103

Hoooooooooray. That's what I am talking about. We need to stay united and stop losing hope.
Take a look at the big fish https://www.etsy.com/shop/BigSvgBundle He is gone because we are united. 104

I have also stop uploading for the time. Just wait and see what will happen in the next couple of months and hope SS will revert back to the original method.

I have stop uploading since the 4MP rule. Is just too much work and waste too much HDD space. This abnormally large vector will also ruin my portfolio forever. This is even worst for icon designers. I hope Shutterstock will reverse the decision for this as soon as possible

Please continue to voice your opinion on the matter. We need more voices to make this stop. 4MP requirement will be a big headache to all of us.

Shutterstock.com / Re: New dimension for EPS files (4 megapixels)« on: April 05, 2019, 04:21 »"making uploading vectors and earning money easier than ever" Yes, every * time. It has become a phobia to receive email from stock agencies that started with the word "exciting news". Either it is royalty cut, collaboration that doesn't benefit us, changes to site that make it more difficult, or new requirements. 111

Can all vector artists please chip in at https://forums.submit.shutterstock.com/topic/96928-shutterstock-has-made-uploading-vectors-easier-than-ever/ to oppose the idea. We need to stand united against this foolish idea.
Whenever I hear the word "exciting" from microstock agencies, it is never was. 112

I am using Adobe Illustrator all along, and this new requirements make me worry as well. The thing is all my previous artwork elements are created in lower resolution of about 1000x1000. Now with the new requirements, all my new artworks needed to be at least 2592x1520.
That means, whenever I have to use back my old elements for new artwork, I have to resize them. This will be a lot of hassle and will be very messy. From a buyer point of view, it is totally bad as well because a buyer that usually buy from the same artists would have big problem and surprises that their new artworks are no longer the same size as those they brought previously. It will be a problem for them to resize the icons to a desirable state that matched their previously bought icons. There is no advantage here for both side (artist and buyer). Can Shutterstock please reconsider not doing this 4megapixels thing? 113

You are having a good run at iStock because the algorithm now skewed towards you. I am having a bad run at iStock because the algorithm now don't favors me.
However, this thing may change, because it had changed before. 114

Have been using Fotolia for a very long time. Now, we got to switch to Adobe Stock because Fotolia is closing. Can somebody tell me how do I check the latest download at Adobe Stock contributor page? I have been searching for 10 minutes and cannot find the feature.

Adobe Stock / Re: Better contributor site - Adobe Stock vs Fotolia?« on: January 24, 2019, 22:40 »
Fotolia for sure. Fotolia user interface is more compact and thus easier to navigate. Adobe one is modern with everything being bigger, thus feels cumbersome.

Microstock Services / Re: What advantage does Payoneer have over Paypal ?« on: December 21, 2018, 02:53 »
I have wrote this in my blog, and I guess I'll just copy and paste here.
Here are my findings and 3 reasons why I preferred Payoneer over PayPal now. 1. The conversion rate is about 1-2% percent cheaper than PayPal. And that's a lot when you started to do this in long term. There is no reason not to accept the increment of that extra 1-2% when you actually can. 2. The money transferred to your local bank account is a few days faster than PayPal. Now, why would I wait for my money a few days late if I have the choice? 3. The referral program is good because when I referred someone in, we both will get $25 when he/she receives a total of $1000. My referral link is https://share.payoneer.com/nav/acNSnIOfW7Hk0TugNUaIoTxNjWPQCaklldO7YwmeRGBlB7pwg-9tv0JtuPvzBgXAgoyKa9Pnw6-0LTrVf8uQbg2 If you have decided to use Payoneer, please use my referral link above to sign up because both of us will earn $25. For your information, it is not necessary to sign up to Payoneer Prepaid Mastercard to receive and transfer money. So, there is no hidden charges or whatsover. I have tried and confirmed it. 120

General Stock Discussion / Creative Cloud Photography Plan and Illustrator Guys« on: December 18, 2018, 19:32 »
I am a vector illustrator for Adobe Stock. I just received an email from them stating that I have won "Creative Cloud Photography Plan Giveaway" for a 1 year subscription plan.
I think this don't benefit me at all since I am only using Adobe Illustrator CC, and never use anything related to photography software. Am I wrong or misses something? They should award me with a free 1 year Adobe Illustrator CC subscription plan, then I would be very happy 123
Shutterstock.com / Re: Payoneer« on: December 15, 2018, 11:21 »Yes, it is a very simple process. When you select payoneer, it will ask you to sign in payoneer in a small window. When it is done, payoneer is selected as your payment option. Yep. And for those who don't have a Payoneer account yet, please use my referral link to register. Both of us will get $25 when you receives a total of $1000. This is my referral link. https://share.payoneer.com/nav/pFjvz5ll-Gw-YhpuvcZACI-IFBARRiiSaXdHWapjCX0iynwfAyx4TzOhXbdPjJG9TZFt1hD8myM-J5RfAs5wrg2 Now I use Payoneer over PayPal to receive payment as the foreign exchange rate is about 1% higher than PayPal. 1% is a lot of money in the long run 124
