Posted By CelesteQuest:
Yes, I am still having this problem, would be nice to get an answer.


Yours seem to be enabled for subs. Everything checks out and I did a few advanced searches of your portfolio with only Subscription type enabled and results were returned.

Hi. I search a lot for this topic but i found it. I am new to istock, but it`s seems that i have the same problem. I get this message under the subscription details "The global setting for allowing files from your portfolio to be sold as subscriptions is not enabled. You can enable this setting in the control panel under the "Allow Selling Subscriptions" section." I looked into the Control Panel and there the subscriptions setting is check, and "All on" pressed. It`s there a solution for this error ?


Yours seem fine too.

If anyone has any additional concerns about their files you can contact Contributor Relations via the Support link and they can dig further.

Posted By Whiteway:
For spontaneous humour, QI beats all.

The two men behind QI ('Quite Interesting') have a Christmas book in the offing, including favourite quotes dug up by the QI research team over the last ten years. Such as, War is God's way of teaching Americans geography and There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.


Love the show, shame it has the worst theme music & opening credits of any program ever though.

My favourite clip is this -

Isolated on white shots do not need any copy space at all. They should not be set off to one side and the subject should fill as much of the image as possible.

Now to somehow wipe out the image of the cat from my brain ...


At least I left an impression in the cage. Good or bad I really like my blood drop icon. Is that wrong?



heheheheheee i think that cat will even haunt my dreams tonight... :D
and the cage is all about fun so as long as you guys enjoyed it who cares what those pesky judges think ;)

Well said Chemc.


Rosen, we all respect your mad skillz... shoot, I didn't even make it past R1. We were kind of taken back about the ending here, but we don't want you gone by any means. Personally, I'd direct my anger to some poor newb in the cage. That's just me though;)


I also heard 5* has a head he needs deflating.

@schmidt-z: die fotos sehen traumhaft aus, ob ich das mal schaffe ? :-)
saludos diana


Aber klar wirst Du das schaffen. Deine Portfolio ist zwar noch klein, aber deine Fotos sind phantastisch - viel besser als meine ersten.
Und die Downloads werden sich auch entwickeln - das braucht einfach Zeit. Ich glaube, ein Portfolio muss bei iStock eine bestimmte Größe erreichen, um wahrgenommen zu werden.
Und man sollte sich weder durch die Anzahl Fotografen, noch durch die Anzahl der Bilder erschrecken lassen. Es gibt zwar mittlerweile 40.000 Contributer (wer weiß eine gute Übersetzung für dieses Wort - ich hasse es, Denglisch zu schreiben), aber nur ein kleine Teil davon ist wirklich aktiv und auch von den demnächst 4 Millionen Fotos sind viele mittelmäßig. Also - es gibt viel zu tun ...

Das wichtigste ist hochladen, hochladen und nochmals hochladen - damit man möglichst schnell eine ordentliche Portfoliogröße erreicht. Habe ich natürlich auch nicht immer gemacht - in diesem Jahr habe ich bis mittel letzten Monats kaum neue Fotos eingestellt, aber jetzt bin ich wieder voll da. Seit 16. September wurden fast 200 neue Fotos angenommen und dann entwickeln sich auch die Verkaufszahlen sofort nach oben.

Ok guys and gals, now I'm confused! I'm clear on the price thing, but further away from making a decision between the 14-24 and the 17-35! Both are great, no doubt, I've even used the 17-35mm a few times and it's great. If the the 17-35mm was significantly cheaper I think I'd go for it, but they are the same price.... so... I'm stuck.
