I like it. I like it A LOT.

I am on 7 stock sites, Dreamstime is the only one where I don't have one single download. So I am not that excited!

You're kidding me...how many images do you have up? I hit payout about once a month on 296 images. One thing I hate about DT is that they're really tough on submissions.

I don't know what to think about it yet. All of these complex calculations and long winded explanations are too much for my mathematically challenged brain to decifer. LOL

I get less downloads with them than SS, IS, SX and FT. My best selling photo on the other sites has zero sales with them. They reject more photos than any other site and reject my keywords more than any other site. I have taken out most of the keywords, so perhaps my photos are less easy to find.

Hi,

I'm not happy with the introduction of subscriptions.
I vividly remember when canstock introduced them. My sales plunged down the drain, never recoverd to my earnings of 2005. Actually, with less pictures online in 2005 and no subscriptions i made more on canstock then i did this year with far more images online and a subscriptions packages in place for the buyers.

Patrick.

A lot of math. It boggles the brain. But I can't help but think that this will widen the gap between the big players and the smaller, newer ones (like me). I started with DT and am extremely excited to have the small amount of earning there that I do, but I have trouble getting anything through to them. I know I need to build my portfolio, but when every other site accepts something and they don't...well, I don't see much earning coming my way there. *sigh* Work harder I guess...

They always have to change crap around and screw everything up for us. Thanks a lot, jerks.
