I hate the regular emails I get from DT telling me they've deleted another image from my port...after the work involved in uploading and the fact some of the images have sold elsewhere, it's incredibly annoying.

The single most annoying thing was the upload process and especially the disambiguation at istockphoto.
The intented humiliation annoyed me so much that Iwill forever detest that agency.

But that is all gone now. Phew.

I guess next thing is sensor spots, that I forget and then have 100 new pictures with them to clone out.

Arrgh.

Probably less annoying than having them go into the free section??

I am sure you know this, but just in case, in LR you can tell where the dust spot is, and it will clone it out for you automaticly. Or you can remove it, and sync the action over 100 images at once. And I also think you can run a little script in PS to do it on auto.

The constant claw backs and their (the key peeps at ms) attitude that we have so much invested in uploading and such that we won't pull ports until payouts equal zero. My frustration is that even they say they care about contributors, they don't.

Not the most annoying, but a little stupid I think:

Why to tell that it was redundant, that they removed it, and ask me to send to submit again?

Just remove it and send it automatically, no?

The idea that competing artists are judging worthiness of my work.

Captcha. It is infuriating.

"An unwanted filter was used"
Yet the image sells like crazy on sites where the filter was deemed to be "wanted".
So, exactly when is a filter "unwanted"?

For me the single most annoying thing is... Dreamstime.

Really, I really like that site.

Categories when uploading to sites - pointless and time consuming.

There like an appendix, useless and but can put you in A&E if you upset them.

So obvious when you think about it. Other sites require plurals, so they're in my IPTC. If your site doesn't want them, just delete them and shut up about it.

Seriously, I don't think I've ever submitted photos to SS and not gotten "one or more of your images may contain errors".

But seriously - categories are a pain beyond endurance. Won't they ever go away?
