Let's re interest this topic in about half year or a year or so.
No sales...sorry.

Was trying very hard to get a bit of momentum behind my drive to get them to give us better protection, but I think the 3 lone voices in the dark will still not move them to spend any time, money or effort in doing anything about it.
Quite a shame considering their recent success and high standing as stock seller, but in my opinion branded as one of the worst protectors of our (their?) interest / property..... 
It's another form of marketing... giving away, but actually not ...  Patrick H.

Doesn't matter if you move it to the left, right, up, down... it's simply not accurate to mask the image.
Found several of my images used with watermark when i was a member of "123 give away".

123 is working with a ranking system. The more you sell, the quicker your images will be reviewed. Patrick H. ps : or your name should end with "Ri" or "Dress"....

Talking about cannibalizing your sales at other site..?... Who in their right mind would upload to another (loser) new site that offers next to nothing.... Patrick H.

I've had this problem too in the early day working with Nikon.
Got around it :
- copy the file directly from card to hard drive (2x) (direct connection usb camera/computer) use copy paste in windows brower
- open in photoshop or nikon view
- if okay convert to tiff, iff okay save as 16 bit tiff and then continue to photoshop raw convertor.
Hope this helps.

I just wonder how do they do to catch images that were previously rejected months ago, it's some kind of software??

It's not our task to contact offending sites... we give our images to stock sites, they are responsible for use etc....
I had my share of problems with images of mine showing watermark. When contacting support no respons.
About 2 months ago i deleted my portfolio on 123 as well.

For what it is worth, i use Nikon View (browser) to copy title, description and keywords between images.
No problem between jpg and tiff and vice versa.
I don't use it for keywording, just copy and pasting.

Whether or not to participate in DP is a decision everyone has to make on their own. There's a clear connection between DepositPhotos and DepositFiles, namely Dmitry Sergeev. No doubt the companies are connected in other ways as well. Nowadays I'm sure that Dimitry and company are trying to keep DP on the up-and-up, maintaining a legitimate business and all. And I'm sure that for everyone involved, it's a legit deal and no reason to suspect otherwise. Aside from hearing about DP stiffing a contracted graphic designer for some completed work, I haven't heard of DP screwing over artists in any way.
For me it's a moral objection. I've had to send DMCA takedown requests to DF in the past to have my stock images removed from their site, and I'm not about to jump in bed with those same folks, even if their new business is 100% clean and legal. And trust me, my moral compass doesn't always point due north (I'm still with istock and vectorstock). But everyone has to draw their own line in the sand somewhere, and DP is where mine is.
I'm not about to help the same folks who profited from enabling the piracy of my work, regardless of the fact that maybe DP itself is a morally upstanding company.
Well spoken, i share your thoughts and principles. Patrick H.

I hadn't realised you could put any of the standard license prices up, just the EL prices, any links to where this is explained on FL?
You can't unless you've reach emerald at least. Patrick.

Isn't it time leaf? they bloody deserve it.
Regular sales, easy upload, management that actually works (favorites) and most importantly, they take the time to support us in this forum!
You're joking...?.. right.?.. Patrick H.

I should have done it a long time ago, but i just borrowed an X-rite Eye One colorimeter to calibrate my screen. (before it was set to imac's sRGB IEC61966 color profile).... i was prepared for 'some' difference, but holy shitters! Seriously...
Everything looks AWFULLY dirty yellow-greenish now, it lost it's pop and is now dull, dark and dirty yellow(ish).
I read on the internet that this tool is very reliable, but i somehow can't believe this is right...
So i was wondering, anyone else been using Eye One...? And is it really so reliable? Were you also shocked at the result?
(i'm ashamed to admit i know very little about color management... what would be the best way to check if this is what its supposed to be?)
Merci 
I get excellent result on my HP LP2475w in combination with the X-rite colorimeter and the Lacie blue eye pro software. Patrick.

What's the point of proving one's identity, I could put my real name but that isn't what my portfolio is under and it's the same for the vast majority of contributors.
We've seen instances where an agency has taken direct action over what's been said here, again a good reason for anonymity.
The biggest problem you have here is your own censorship, you allow people to make statements on MSG and then when they're challenged or asked to provide some form of evidence you delete the posts and lock the thread, I appreciate this is a good revenue source for you and of course there should be a balance of politeness but to allow fraudulent statements to go unchallenged undermines the whole idea of an independent forum.
So on one hand your asking people to prove their identity but not to provide any proof of what they say. Pointless really.

If I remember correctly you (only) get a highest xl, xxl, xxxl sale from those print sales, no EL.

Do a search for Viewnx, browser from Nikon.
This program will convert jpg to tiff while maintaining the exif info.
