Hi ,
we just noticed that a many of our images does look on their site about 1 - 2 stops darker than ...
a: on other stocksites
b: on our site
c: on our calibrated systems

They look horrible -strange colours, much to dark.....just bääääää....

Compare yourself:
Yay http://www.yaymicro.com/portfolio.action?search.offset=0&search.limit=50&search.numResults=1302&search.filterExplicit=false&search.sort=date&search.advanced=true
Deposit http://de.depositphotos.com/portfolio-2062725.html?14cnnz

We always develop images , export them and then load them up to agencies.
Means i can say that it is not a error on our site.

Do you have an idea what could have happened ?
regard axel

I noticed the images I uploaded recently that are in their review queue have very dark thumbnails. I hoped that was just until they get approved.

With ours its as well in the frontend.
Thats terrible - no one will buy such crappy looking pictures!

@tickstock
do you have something reasonable to contribute or are you just one of these "jokers" who need to fuck up every thread??

No,
And when I clicked Yay link above, I saw my portfolio

Yours is here, and I can confirm, that your photos are very dark:

@tickstock
no need for a lawyer. You are punished enough with your mental level.

@ajt
thanks for confirming

@sharpshot
what about your images?
Did you check in the frontend if they are ok?

Hi guys,

No need to worry, this was caused by a glitch in the newest version of the software responsible for generating previews and thumbs. It has been fixed now, and we will reprocess all the images that are too dark. Sorry for the inconvenience. No need to sue
