Hi,


Sorry about that. 


The error message is the image can not be CMYK. 




"The image needs to be in RGB format. We do not accept CMYK images.


Please ensure that your submission follows the guidelines provided by iStockphoto."




Thank you for your help.

andrearoad 3 iStock Tools / Apps: DeepMeta (Mac OS X) - Manage your portfolio
/
/Hello Franky I have the last version of Deepmeta, I did some changes to the description of some images, I basically added some thumbnails and lightboxs, anyway when I send the updates to Istock they are not effective on the site. Everything looks good inside Deepmeta but seems like istock doesn't get the changemets, in the past when I use to add some lightbox or link to the images the changment once sent to istock was immediate. 


Update: this happens just with some files not for all files, If i write a sentence in the description field the changements are reflected by istock but if i try to put thumbnails or lightboxs there is no way to see the changes in the site. 


Is an istock problem or depends on Deepmeta?


Many thanks

GreenPimp 4 Off-Topic: Posing App for photographers
Hi Kaspars,

This is a nice little app. You give more away here for $2 than most posing books attempt for 15x the cost.

By the time all your advice is incorporated one would be quite proficient.

The information is perfect for any photographer or model to hone their skill. I like how it's a quick back pocket reference on the iPod / iPhone / iPad - easy to maintain workflow and even impress the model.

I will post your link to my Model Mayhem page in hopes that any ambitious models gets the clue.

My only hope would be a few more poses with the model standing alone. A few dozen poses where the model can hold the iPod and quickly go down the list. It'll be a bit easier than bringing the Victoria's Secret catalogs on location.

Thanks!

All the best. :)

mtngigi 6 Designers: Public Lightbox with check boxes, for client approval
When you email a lightbox to your client, they can view it without having to register. They will see the associated numbers, and can jot the numbers down, or email them to you, or whatever. I believe they can also right-click on an image to bring up a contextual menu that will allow them to save their favorite images (they'll be low-res watermarked files) to a folder, that they could then email to you.

LifeJourneys 11 Submit Suggestions: Refunds for an image going back 3 months!
Another refund today.  At least "Whoever"  got the refund going today instead of a few months down the road.  It's an improvement over some other refunds I have had.  This was probably due to the purchasers end though.

kelvinjay 14 Critique Requests: Photo: 5 different photo's rejected
As far as the lighting goes, the 2nd one looks fine to me. Perfectly in keeping with the subject. It may benefit from the tiniest of boosts to contrast, but it's splitting hairs, IMO.

DLs: -60% from Jan 2010; -24% from Jan 2011.


$$s: -66% from Jan 2010; -44% from Jan 2011.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


December 2011



DLs: -63% from Dec 2009; -24% from Dec 2010.


$$s: -61% from Dec 2009; -52% from Dec 2010.

...when looking at it from the larger perspective of the contributor community we feel that it would be inappropriate to artificially boost royalties for a single file category.


In fact it is true, it could seem so odd seen from a non-audio contributor, but also it is true that it is equally inappropriate putting sfx and music all together in the same basket. In a fair system they should have:

different prices,
different RC targets (much lower for sfx),
different weekly upload limits (higher for sfx),
different metadata rules,
different search...

Agreed!

MaxDahlia 23 Logos: Any news?

^^ Thanks for your advice, I couldn't believe what I was reading, even down here in Africa this kind of perverse logic isn't trotted out anymore.


I'm going to leave things be for a month or two, but I'll certainly get back to contributor relations stand my ground if there's no movement from iStock and I decide to remove them. 


I've always had fantastic support from contributor relations, btw, so I managed to grin and bear just this one weird response.
