Anyone else take a peak at Latex's stats since joining IS in May of last year? Nice!

General - Top Sites / Re: Your best seller in September !

I've gotta work on better subject matter. I'd love to have an image with some of the DL figures listed here. Here's mine.

Seems to be working again. Because they changed the watermark and added IPTC, I uploaded about 50 pics a week ago and it actually worked without any problems.

And is it just me or does the timeout for the login session seem to be set at about a couple minutes? If you're not constantly doing something you need to keep logging back in over and over again. Argh. At least increase it to an hour or allow the user to decide if they want to auto-login.

For the heck of it I did a search and my images are still there so it looks like the users accounts still exist.

Yep, same here.  I also thought it may have been hacked but now it looks like a system problem.

Adobe Stock / Re: Rejections at FT ?
« on: September 28, 2007, 08:46 »
My acceptance rate increased quite a bit at FT but that's probably due to quality improvements. Thanks to some tips from Sharply and Hatman I'm up to around 90% over the past month. They're also now my top in sales with IS and DT in a close 2nd.

That's good to hear dbvirago. Maybe the marketing started. No problems access it for me (using IE).

Cameras / Lenses / Re: SECOND HAND D50 PRICE
« on: September 19, 2007, 06:11 »
Like Geo said, check Ebay. I have a D50 and for shooting stock I'd recommend getting something a bit newer like a D40. While I wouldn't call the D50 a noisy camera I'm spending way too much time cleaning up light noise. I'm planning on picking up a D80.

No sales but I only uploaded a handful of pictures. I can only assume if the photographers are having a hard time uploading the buyers are probably having a hard time buying.

General Stock Discussion / Re: Wow, how cheap and tacky!!
« on: September 14, 2007, 12:35 »
Sorry Nazdravie, but you are wrong ... Last year I did a request for refund on IS. The picture in question was uploaded in 2006, but the quality didn't meet the standards at all. It was noisy, out of focus, and the background (showing a blue cast due to a wrong white balance setting) was photoshopped away (leaving portions of a wallpaper structure which the "artist" probably hadn't seen at all) in such an amateurish way that it made me asking for refund in the second I opened this picture after download. Not sure how this one had slipped through the approval process, but I got pretty angry about this particular picture.

Yes, I had to send a Certificate of Destruction via fax, signed by me and another witness. The fax, a phone call (because something went wrong at the first try to get the refund) from Germany to Canada, the time needed etc. was certainly worth more than the $5 refund. But sorry, this picture was so off from the standards that I didn't want to honor the contributor with giving him MY money.

Okay that makes sense. I wouldn't be real happy if I got a crappy quality image.  Sounds like IS wasn't always super picky as they are now.

I wonder how much of an issue this will become for some of the less picky agencies that are taking just about any image.

Returning a picture? It couldn't be for technical quality reasons because IS is really picky. So what valid reason would a buyer have to "return" an image at IS? I wonder how many returns IS will take from a buyer before it raises a red flag.

Albumo.com / Made the Albumo front page "Featured Stock Images"
« on: September 10, 2007, 21:00 »
I was pretty surprised to see my baskets of apples on their homepage under "Featured Stock Images". Hopefully they'll hit 200,000 images (sometime today) and start marketing while I'm still featured.  ;D  They seem like they have their act together. I'm anxious to see how aggressive their marketing launch will be.
