Hi, I'm new here, and relatively new to stock as well. I use mainly Photoshop, but have started to experiment more with Illustrator. If you would like anything specific - please feel free to ask as I keep layered files and I'm always open to creative challenges.
I enjoy this work and hope you find my contributions useful.
I didn't read all of this so please forgive me.
I suggest that if someone sends a flag that ends up being invalid that their flagging ability be blocked.
Or better yet, give the 'victim' of the invalid flag the $0.02
I have already rec'd one and it's annoying to say the least.
That's just my $0.02 :)
*just thinking of all the $0.02 I might make now that I put myself as a target :)* if my program idea is implimented - j/k , but it is annoying posted in Flagging policy update - flag comments
I'm very pleased to read this. It will be so much easier to search when not having to get through near doubles.
Although I do almost exclusively illustration, I did study photography in Art School. I see the difference now being editing...just as mentioned. Before-when film was used-the photographer did editing even BEFORE snapping the shutter. I remember then it being good if a good photograper got a couple of worthwhile shots from a roll of 24. Now a days I hear of good photographers who take 1000's of shots in one photo session. That, to me, is mind boggling.
I think Achilles has it right and that images should be deleted right in camera. That preview is about what a customer will see when browsing and anything that is compositionally not nice should go because we can assume that the photograper has the shots technically correct already and won't need to perform all of the magic out of camera.
I just wanted to offer my support here to Dreamstime - I'm happy this is now clearly stated. posted in How to upload similar images
