Newbie Discussion / Re: White Balance« on: April 10, 2011, 20:10 »Oh dear __ so shooting RAW and fannying about with WB is really important apparently? I never realised. No plans to change though. Getting it right in-camera works OK as far as I'm concerned. It saves time in post-processing too.Yup... getting WB right in camera is important. Believe it or not, maybe your type of photography is general and doesn't need WB control, okay, your work, but in controlled lighting, WB does mather, and not easily controlled with post processing programs, there will always be a noticeable difference unless you get it right in camera.

I've done a test some time ago. The result convinced me to use manual WB.
Same light setup (studio), same object, same parameters camera exept : - image taken auto wb - image taken manual wb Completely different result. Adjust the image with auto wb in photoshop to same measured wb on manual wb... still difference noticeable on end result. The images with manual wb are more pleasing to the eye, contain less yellow cast. Patrick. 87

Veer / Re: Veer Reseller API« on: April 02, 2011, 12:39 »About to delete my port (manually)... 3 sales in 1 year... not worth my time anymore. Sorry... 4 sales. Unless Veer changes search order (first yuri, than andres... etc) i'm done with the site. Unless Veer changes upload limit and search (how am i to upload 11.000 images with the limits set)... i'm done.. Frankly .... i'm done with prejudiced sites (starting to delete manually, and yes it will take some time). Patrick. 91

General Stock Discussion / Re: Microstock Earnings Breakdown - March 2011« on: April 02, 2011, 12:10 »Yes but with all respect, this doesnt give a clear picture. When I started with IS, Shutterstock, Fotolia, Dreamstime, etc, some 5 years back, I used to have BME, every single month, it was almost impossible not to have a BME in the beginning, first year, etc. Viola Patrick H. 93

As if I care....
I deleted every image over there as a member. Still a member... but... Been working as an intern for a company 2 weeks ago. Had to design a flyer/poster for the company. Had to use (comp) images from istock..... did it... but my final result delivered with images from SS. And................... accepted. Firm is now working with SS. Patrick. 94

Dreamstime.com / Re: Question about Image Flagged for Improper Keywords« on: March 19, 2011, 16:15 »While it is very true that the editors should monitor relevant keywords considering their cut of the money but does it make sense just to say "it's not my problem so don't worry about it" if the result is fewer users because of frustration over bad search results mostly due to crappy keywords?I agree but Dreamstime's policy of showing who flagged your keywords so they can write you a nasty sitemail does make it less likely I will report anyone. How about having an image of a praying nun being flagged for the keyword nun..?.. (past week) image of an emerald being flagged for emerald.. etc.. etc.. etc...and i could go on and on....
