Hi Karin,

great info, but the iStock requirements have recently changed - the uploaded JPEG file now has to be minimum 1920 x 2800 pixels.

:-D

You say about DT, "After approval, vector files may be uploaded..." I believe that when you submit a JPG at DT you immediately get the option to upload a vector format file. (However, as of this writing, DT is taking a lot longer to review the vector format files, they aren't accepted until some time after the JPG version goes on sale.)

When I uploaded my one and only vector, I had to wait for the JPG to be approved. Maybe it's changed? Or I could have missed something.

Or maybe they are giving me special treatment (in my dreams).

Yep...you're right, Michael. Thanks! Took me a while to create another vector in order to check it out. I've added the info to the list.
