Title: Question about vector uploading and jpegs:
Post by: guy on May 09, 2015, 13:37

In the past it was necessary to upload an entire separate jpeg file of a vector image to Shutterstock after the vector was accepted. Now I've noticed that my newer uploads are including the jpeg automatically. However, the jpeg is only a high-res version and is not offered in multiple sizes. The older jpegs I had uploaded separately are offered in small, medium and large sizes.

I was just wondering how other contributors are handling jpegs of their vector files on SS?

I upload both. Takes very little time, so why not? Gives buyers more choice. But be aware that jpgs are subject to the same wacky rejections as photos, which can be frustrating.

I still upload a JPG separately. Primarily because it's a force of habit, and sometimes buyers want another size or they're looking in the Illustration section instead of the Vector section.

I still upload a JPG separately. Sometimes I add effects (gradient etc) which are not possible to be included in the vector file since I use Inkscape. I sometimes create monochrome JPG versions and they do sell too.
