For the last week or two, SS keeps timing out, whether it's the forums or the profile page. I have to usually load several times or wait for it to get through. My iphone app won't start up either - as soon as it hits the info, it crashes.
Anyone else?

I was just experimenting with DT, and I found the image submittal process to be a real drag, having to look at each file one by one. So I wrote a script to speed things up. Read about and get the script here: http://www.seanlockephotography.com/2014/09/25/submitting-dreamstime/I added a donate button because people had asked in the past, and I'm short on beer, so it's there if you find the script useful.

Hey - when I'm trying to drag and drop to upload to SS, the upload doesn't work - it just shows me my image, as if I had dragged the image into a new tab or something. Trying to manually select files results in the upload blocks just sitting there, not doing anything.
Just me?

If anyone is interested in participating, we've worked to put together the First Annual Stocksy Awards, and anyone can join in the voting. You just have to have an account on the site to take part. It's a celebration for the first anniversary, and hopefully it will highlight some of the cool talent on the site. The page to start is here: http://www.stocksy.com/awardsps. This is just an announcement - no need to get all "I don't like this person" or "I don't like the style of that", etc.

It's going around facebook, but in case you weren't friends with him, Mark Evans wife posted several hours ago that Mark had died unexpectedly in the night. I didn't know him in person, just online since the early days, but he was a swell guy, and a super talented 3d artist, always willing to help people with their 3d work. He was also an iStock Admin and Inspector. He really had a passion for cars in his 3d work, and had such an attention to detail:  I'm really saddened to hear of his passing. http://www.istockphoto.com/mevans

Is there a way on 123rf to see which images were downloaded? I can see I actually had sales from my EVO images, but I don't see how to find which images sold.

I was trying to find a higher priced outlet I could put some work on, and I discovered EVO at 123RF (no subscriptions!). I've put up a few hundred files, and no sales yet. I find an issue with their search paradigm, and was wondering if anyone has had any different results there. Basically, the EVO images hardly show up when searching with the "all images" filter on. In fact, if you just try to search within my portfolio with "all images" checked for various things, absolutely nothing shows up. Try searching for "santa" or "student": http://www.123rf.com/profile_seanlockephotographyThe only way to get them to show up is to refine with the EVO filter. This is bizarre to me, and while trying to discuss this, I've been told that only after things like sales, or picking favorite images, etc., do they start to show up under "all images" (even though I have 15 santa images as favorites). "All images" actually means "all images" to me, and not "a magical subset of what is actually all images". EVO should be a subset of "all images", like editorial would be a subset, etc. I can't imagine I'll ever make sales when the images don't show up at all in a search! So, does anyone have any EVO images, and do they show up in a return? Do you make any sales? Is this just me thinking this is crazy, or does anyone agree?

Was looking at the new SS blog, and saw they are integrating with DropBox: http://www.shutterstock.com/blog/2013/07/announcing-shutterstocks-dropbox-integration?pl=news-welctoournewblog&cr=PB"Soon, youll be able to download images and footage directly from the Shutterstock site to your Dropbox account. Our Dropbox integration will give you a frictionless way to store creative assets, sync them across all your devices, and effortlessly collaborate with colleagues on creative projects." Isn't that a direct conflict with the licensing terms? http://www.shutterstock.com/licensing.mhtml"THIS IS A SINGLE SEAT LICENSE. IT AUTHORIZES ONE NATURAL PERSON TO LICENSE, DOWNLOAD AND USE IMAGES." "You may not ... Make images available on a digital asset management system, shared drive or the like for the purposes of sharing or transferring such images. "

"Dissolve is a new stock video marketplace created to simplify the stock video purchase experience, backed by a $5 million seed round led by several former co-founders of Veer and iStockphoto, with participation from iNovia Capital."
"Dissolve is confident that the average HD clip it sells for five dollars will be able to attract a customer base currently paying as much as $450 on rival Getty Images. In fact, 95 percent of Dissolves varied collection of video clips, which are all in HD, start at five dollars. There are also tiers of $50, $150 and $500, based upon quality and singularity."
I don't know. I don't think video doesn't sell at $450 because it's expensive. I think it's not a big seller because people don't want to watch stock videos.

Inmagine has asked me to contribute there. Anyone have any recent comments about them? I think I see that you set your own price, you get %50 and can opt-out of distribution plans. Which sounds good. Any surprises?

So, planning for the future here...
Do any of these distribution tools - lightburner, etc. allow you to prep all the files you like and then send them (and track what went where) to whatever places you like?
Thx!

Someone on FB asked if Lookstat was still around. Did it close shop?

Found some of my images on: http://www.pinstockphotos.com/pins/I guess it isn't too egregious aside from the fact they are trying to get referrals, even though they are using the old refnum tag, lol...
