Another thief;

I guess selling public domain images from the Department of Defense as your own is alright at Shutterstock for the last 4 years..

Thanks MihaiZaharia. I was hoping it was some kind of wrong wording.

Adobe Stock / Illustrative Editorial at Adobe warning message
« on: September 26, 2023, 07:08 »
I tried to upload some Illustrative Editorials to Adobe. Now I get a message asking me to agree to not upload any logo's or brands. Isn't that the whole idea of Illustrative Editorial? I know there are some developments regarding AI but what is this message about?

Just tried to redeem the bonus code but it doesn't work.

The link in the blue bar links to adobepartneroffer.com which doesn't seem to exist. Is this an old code or is the redeem site down?

This program is (was) the best. Been using it for I think 10 years and is an important part of my workflow. A shame the last few months it's unusable. Tried to contact him two times but didnt get a reply.

Does anyone know of alternatives at this moment? Trying Microstockr Pro now but I miss some functionality's in it.

Found my portfolio too. Images seem to come from Dreamstime.

iStockPhoto.com / Re: $ 0.00077 Lowest Earning on Istock
« on: June 30, 2017, 20:42 »
It's hard to process  $0.00077  being described as "some money".   

There is probably that much "money" in my lungs right now, in the form of atoms of gold drifting in the atmosphere.

Let's get real.  This is zero.

Great post. People in this business having an argument over this makes you wonder though.

Got a $275,00 sale at SS last December. So big sales are still possible

Bigstock.com / BS sub pricing ridiculously low.
« on: February 19, 2017, 08:36 »
Anyone seen the Bigstock subscription pricing below? The 150/300 plans are the lowest in the whole industry. How long have these prices been like this?

https://www.bigstockphoto.com/subscribe/

The above plans are not in their list below. So perhaps they are a temporarily offer?

https://www.bigstockphoto.com/subscribe/all/

49EUR - 150 images
49 EUR - 25 images
59 EUR - 50 images
79 EUR - 100 images
79 EUR - 300 images
139 EUR - 200 images

Don't know if it's already been said but i really dislike the total earnings in the middle of the page. Also in a ridiculous large font. It's none of peoples business in the rest of the room.

Terrible interface. Slow and can't sort on image-name or upload-date anymore. Images that weren't suppose to be online are suddenly online. Resulting in conflict with RF and RM licenses. What a mess. Dont even know where to start to sort things out.

« on: January 28, 2017, 09:35 »

Might be down the toilet is right, but the reason why is fairly self evident. Competition is the answer.

That might be but that doesn't explain the sudden drop I experienced. I've had a steady growth in sales and port since 2009 until November 2016. Now DL's are down from 60-70 to 30-40 a day. Even though I increased my port with about 25% last year.

« on: January 18, 2017, 13:53 »
Yes. Number of images in sets change constantly now. But it's very weird to see other peoples images in my sets. Had one with a couple of (medical) nudes in it so had to disable that set.

Just noticed other peoples images in my published sets at Shutterstock. Well known bug or a new addition to the buglist?

Shutterstock.com / Shutterstock Sets oldest first
« on: December 17, 2016, 08:50 »
Anyone else have sets in Shutterstock but can't sort them. Every set I made is sorted by oldest image first. Who would want their crap approved 10 years ago appear on top.

iStockPhoto.com / iStock will remove sales stats per FEB 2017
« on: December 14, 2016, 18:01 »
Got an email from them today stating:

'Your download stats will no longer be available on iStock.com come the February 1 cutover. We will not be porting previous years stats over to the new system so we strongly advise you to download your CSV prior to the cutover on February 1, 2017. '

Why would they do that? Anyway just wanted to share this so people will not loose their sales history.

Worse, you're harming RM and other photographers as this besmirch RM-agencies.

Anyone knows if it is possible to have them delete all images but keep my account active?

Shutterstock.com / Re: SS September sales down 50%
« on: September 20, 2016, 09:13 »
I count only the working days (Mo-Fr). That means there is still 40% left of this month. So seeing your graph I think it will be OK.

You're right Sue, I missread that line on SS.

@wordplanet
The image is not on FAA.  The shop where the canvases are sold is an 'outlet store'.
