-filmshtr- 1 Discussion: April 2012 stats?

April was -eh & May looks bad too, but I did notice today that BM is now pulling older files to the front when yesterday it was pulling only new stuff up.  You can gage this by looking at your portfolio and keeping the "sort by" setting on BM.  I'm just trying to be helpful.

blackwaterimages 2 Help: Bulk Fraud Dls again?
Posted By inhauscreative:
Contact Support, they will be able to see if there are fraudulent purchases

Really? I was under the impression that since we switched to the completely generic refund statement that there was no chance of getting any info on how or why a refund occurred.  I also find it a bit unlikely that these days there would be any public statement (via email to a contributor or otherwise) that disclosed any fraud. Fraud must clearly happen on a fairly significant scale given how few people would actually be likely to notice it AND be bothered to seek out a place to post about it like 800notes. Its really unfortunate there aren't better measures in place to curtail this stuff.

Lobo 3 iStock Tools / Apps: BoostMatch - the advanced searching solution for istockphoto
Let me state again, you aren't the only developer out there. Everyone else has played by the rules and posted in the appropriate forum, why can't you?

You got nearly a week of Discussion Forum time. I can assure you it's more than anyone else has gotten. If the thread was filled with Buyers asking about the software we would be in a different place. However, we are on page 2 and you are already talking about your contributor centric software so it seems like you are using this thread for more than just your initial offering.

Thanks.

MMassel 11 Submit Suggestions: Picture size requirement
Yes true, but at only two options for dpi. I suppose it's easy enough to do a rough calculation in ones head, but I like to do things more preceisly to prevent errors. I think others make errors too sometimes. When selling pics I've had files returned on occasion and notice that the same file is then purchased at a larger size. I assume someone bought the file too small to start with.

Bonjour Audrey


J'ai déjà été dans ce cas et une fois j'ai fait acheté l'image par l'entreprise...une autre fois c'était une image que je venais de télécharger gratuitement,que je n'avais pas encore utilisée et je l'ai utilisée pour une entreprise pour laquelle je travaillais à l'époque. c'est vrai que je me suis posée la question....


bon week end Clotilde

jentakespictures 14 Critique Requests: PHOTO: Doors: Rejected after approved?
Posted By donald_gruener:
Yes! That works!

Well, after all of that...this really is a nice shot, the lighting is just fine, and no other real flaws. In my opinion the Inspector erred. It should not have been rejected, and I've just re-approved the file for you.

I love it when this happens :)

Send me a sitemail with any other files you are finding have been "edited". I'd like to know if it is a bug or some bad human error.

subman 17 Editorial Use Only: Isolating an object?

When supplying your caption, you will need to state which app/program you are using on the device. IF it's a white screen, you need to say what program was used like displaying any other content on devices/computers. The caption is very important showing the context of the device and what it's displaying.


We do not permit isolating the device by removing the screen and replacing it with a graphic afterwards in post.


If the files were wrongly inspected, scout is the route.

Kativ 19 Photography: Nikon D7000 or D300s
I am not sure what your budget is, but I'd look into the new D3200 24MP camera. $699 (Capable of XXXL here)

If you can afford D600 which looks to be lower priced full frame sensor camera(I'm guessing around $2k or lower), I'd work with D3200 now and when D600 is available, sell D3200 and move to D600. You can probably get $500 easy if you sell it by end of the year.

There's an option to get used D700, but honestly, I think D600 would be better camera for money considering a used D700 still goes around 2K.

I'm still waiting for my D800 camera and have sold 5D mark II and got Sony NEX-7. My lastest 30 images are shot with it. It's a nice camera at such small camera. I'm pretty happy with the image quality, and so far non got rejected.

piola666 20 iStockvideo: Video Sales < > = ???

until today this month was a CRY, even if in the last 2 months I increased my portfolio of 15%,


I experienced a superslowdown in downloads.


 


Today sells started to hit, badly, and things may become statistically flattened :)
