Don't care about 123RF "Low-Earner-Loser". Alamy and the othr macrostock-agencies are best for editorial pics.

You may be right. Is your editorial selling well at Alamy?

So far, Cutcaster has worked best for my editorial. That is some very specific, niche oriented, stuff, however. Shutterstock is off to a good start. Too early to say about Dreamstime. Thought I would see what 123rf can do, too. I'm satisfied with my start in RF there.

Alamy hasn't done a thing for me.

I had an email exchange, David, and was told they are preparing a "grand launch" and marketing campaign ... soon.
What bothers me is their seeming lack of concern for currency. Editorial images should not set for days on end without review. Glad I chose to test with "historical editorial" rather than anything "time sensitive."

Thanks for that information Warren. I was getting a bit concerned that their Editorial launch was confined to me posting "editorial images are live" on this site

Days on end? I've got stuff uploaded on April 24 still pending! Luckily nothing time sensitive - as you say "historical editorial". BTW it will be interesting to see if 123 editorial makes it on to the parent company site Inmagine.com -there is a note there saying that they are considering taking editorial images. Regards, David.

Anybody selling editorial stuff at 123rf?
Better question is: is anyone selling anything at 123rf? $:-\$

11$ in May.

The best question would be: when will they stop their automated and ridiculous review process? I had 9/10 rejected of my latest batch for "bad lighting", that was accepted 8/10 on iStock. As long as they don't come to their senses (stop their "review experiment") I won't upload there any more, and that includes my editorials.

Like I have said days ago here I had my first editorial sale, a pope benedict!

Congratulations, Luis. I did see that and was encouraged. Wondering if others have had any success. Hoping editorial gets going soon.

Also, would like to offer kudos for 123rf; their review and acceptance procedure for editorial is very fast. I uploaded a few last night and this morning they are accepted and online.

PPS: Last month was my best yet at 123rf for commercial sales.
