Do images submitted for Editorial use to Shutterstock fall under the same payout structure as RF photos there?

Thanks,

Mat

Quick answer Mat -yes! And (in my personal experience) Editorial sells well at Shutterstock. Regards, David.

Not exclusive at fotolia anymore?

Even as an exclusive I had the right to upload editorial. I've had images up on Alamy for the better part of a year now with no success so I'm broadening my horizons as I've been shooting a lot of concerts lately (visit my blog www.haywardphoto.blogspot.com to see some if you are interested.)

That being said, I have started to upload at other sites. Shutterstock was nice enough to let me re-open my account. I've been pretty happy with the immediate results. I'm also very impressed with their uploading process. Intuitive and user friendly. I'm finding some good results at Dreamstime and I've got a handful of pics up on 123rf too. I'm finding 123rf a bit confusing and need to sit down and spend some real focused time to figure it out.

I gave I-Stock a chance but the upload process is the most frustrating thing I have encountered and their rejection results are exasperating. A very unpleasant process that I don't have the time or patience to waste on (at least for now).

Matt,

As you've got a quick answer to your thread, I'd like to ask after selling the benefits of exclusivity at Fotolia so hard what's caused the change ?
Reduced sales activity at fotolia ? Rejections ?

Fotolia is only about 4% of my earnings.

It was time to dip my toes in the water at other sites to see what I've been missing out on.

Still a big fan of Fotolia, always will be.

Wow! I must say, I would have liked to be in the same club as you for longer. Good luck out there!
Love your avatar, BTW!
