Dreamstime.com / Question about royalties

« on: June 01, 2020, 17:03 »

on the dreamstime contract page it mentions non exclusive content can earn the creator between 25-50%. I do not understand this... how much do you get for non exclusive uploads and why is a range listed instead of an actual percentage?

Also it mentions something about the SR-EL license. Does this mean you are essentially selling your copyright away? Is there any way to opt out of such sales?

Thank You.

Adobe Stock / Lets start a petition to get Adobe to accept Editorial - now is the time!

« on: May 29, 2020, 11:28 »

So it seems a majority of people need a new home for their editorial content and would like Adobe to accept editorial images and video.

Can we stop wishing for this and somehow start and online petition and get momentum going for this? Now is the time to do this.

They do offer certain editorial content from Reuters ect. but that seems to be at a higher price point - is this correct? The thing is there is a huge demand for editorial content in microstock at the regular rates and packages offered. Many users would not be able to purchase the editorial content at those higher rates for those licenses, and there is a vast market for editorial images and a need for them within the regular subscription models.

We need a strong place for this content. Anyway we can group together and collectively push for this? Any thoughts? Comments? ideas?

General Stock Discussion / Best sites for selling editorial images

« on: March 03, 2020, 16:41 »

What sites do people on here find the best sites for selling editorial images on? Its a shame that Adobe is not accepting them, as now would be an ideal time for the open that option up to suppliers.

Any agencies that do better than others in regards to editorial?

Shutterstock.com / Opting out of images sales altogether

« on: March 01, 2020, 14:51 »

Does anyone has any insight into the specific option to opt. out of images sales on SS altogether?

If ones does this does this happen right away or does it have to go through some type of process that takes a certain amount of time? I read on here in order to remove your archive from SS you have to wait a certain period of time? Is that true and if so how long?

If you opt out of images sales will your archive be taken off line immediately and not available to the clients to purchase or download?

Unfortunately I am weighing a few different option as some of the issues I have I have yet to be able resolve. Has anyone ever had luck in speaking with a human over there who will actually respond to real concerns and try to sort a solution?

Newbie Discussion / Dreamstime payment per image on average

« on: February 10, 2020, 15:16 »

Hi There. Just took a look at the Dreamstime site as I am considering opening an account there. I was a bit confused regarding the payout per image on average. Does anyone here have any insight into that and might you be able to share what an average image earns the photographer or perhaps a general payout range?

Also idea if they are a good fit for editorial images do they place them regularly?

General Stock Discussion / Adobe stock editorial

« on: February 10, 2020, 15:14 »

Hi There. Does anyone know if there is anyway to submit editorial images to Adobe Stock yet. It used to be invitation only but wondering if there have been any updates as they seem to be a growing company and might be a good choice to such material. Any updates or information would be appreciated.
