Aaand we have a winner ladies and gents; dudes and dudettes! 🍾 TeeCee's Denzil, treading lightly while carrying a big stick, has won after a remarkable catch up during the last part of the race. 🏆 🥇 So TeeCee, now a two time winner, will set and host the next challenge. There's no rule about thinking up a theme that has not been done before. There are no rules at all actually, the winner just sets her or his own rules. Thank you all for taking part! And thank you all for voting! wim -

Looks like the setup my father in law ran. He was an OS2 beta tester. He ran 2 versions of that plus at least one Linux and grudgingly a Windows system. Which would have been fine, but he insisted to have it all on both his machines. He may have kept a pure Dos machine as well. Just in case. It gave him lot's of joie de vivre, until it didn't. My Excel is a 365. That may have solved the distortion thing. I never look at the Version notes. I'll check my other browsers later. If I don't fall asleep in front of the news. wim

Try going to your Sales history. Go back to when you signed up. Now let it display up to 100 sales. (Set the page to 100 images.) Make a note of the last date. Copy all sales including the thumbnails: Put your cursor in the upper left corner under the grey bar and while holding the Control key, move down to the last cell in the Amount column on the lower right hand corner. (Just holding Control and clicking left of the grey bar will get you the same selection, but with the bar included.) Copy. Now open a blank spreadsheet and paste. Repeat until you reach today. Previously this distorted the thumbnails, but somehow since a while they keep their image ratios. This spreadsheet does what you want. I seem to remember there used to be a download button to get this, but certainly no more. You will need a bigger image as an input for an image search. There are many ways to display and search your complete portfolio. For looking up images on the web I prefer Search by Image . From this topic 3 weeks ago: For Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Edge and Safari there's Search by Image. - [It] makes effortless reverse image searches possible, and comes with support for more than 30 search engines. A bit down that page there are buttons to take you to the download pages for the respective browsers. I use it with Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu and Tineye. Especially Yandex is brilliant for finding (nicked) copies of published images. However Yandex is Russian. Albeit that the people that run Yandex are fleeing the country and that Yandex is in fact a Dutch company and at one point was hosted on Dutch servers. And maybe still is, however the main servers seem to be in Finland. They have an Israeli branch as well. wim edit: the spreadsheet works, but will probably break up sales details in many cells. If you don't need the images, the Net revenue sales report will do. It allows setting back the date as far as you want. And it's a lot quicker. Now if only I had a way to attach the images automatically.

You did download your spreadsheet, right? I keep a document with thumbnails of all images that have been licensed and their prices plus their total. And I rank them. But it doesn't count them. Preferably I would merge the two, but have not found a good way to do so without ending up with a Gigabyte of spreadsheet. My document is 125 Megabyte, but my spreadsheet is a mere 0.24 Megabyte. wim edit: thumbnails images have

Haha her face is suggesting otherwise. Cats can be very passive aggressive. wim -
is it worth the effort???
wiskerke replied to sparks's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
That's a good one. His setup has just too much flex I think, because his camera is too far off axis of the column. I can see the usefulness of the Stackshot. I have tried the A7RIV myself with the 16 shot super pixel-shift mode. And there is some gain, but not enough to justify buying one. The need for the Stackshot can be somewhat remedied with a dedicated macro lens like the 90mm Sony/Zeiss by placing the focus point in different places. This is pure blasphemy in the macro church, but usually the Sony is accurate enough to my amazement. I do use magnets to augment the clamping force of the film carrier. 4 big magnets from an old hard drive sit on both sides of the 35mm negative. But only for very curved film. They're interfering with rapid advancement of the film strip obviously. In the thread on the negativelabpro forum I was very impressed with the guy using the Z-Axis Manual Linear Stages. The main things I'm doing wrong is not using the column of my Leica Reprovit in it's designated spot in the house. (It's now my in-house tool shed. And the Reprovit lies unused in parts.) And picking that spot in the house that vibrates the most with any movement. (Just a very nice place to sit where I ended up wheeling my computer to.) wim -
How was your April 2022?
wiskerke replied to Steve F's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
We seem to have lost some posts in this thread. Mine has gone. Some more of my posts too, including my own vote for the Cats and Dogs challenge. wim -
Well at least mine did. All of them. Including my own vote for the Cats and Dogs challenge. My guess is that around 10 to13 votes went missing. wim edit: one of my posts just came back on. Not the votes though.

Please take a look if your vote has also been lost due to the forum having hiccups this Sunday afternoon. Mine had. wim edit: The image aspect ratios have gone funny again too. -

At one point you were the runner up. However we seem to have lost 13 votes or so during the hiccups. The 13 may have broken it. wim
