That’s great! Thank you Leo for the update. I know many of us are looking forward to seeing what the licensing update has in store.

No problem lifting anything you like from my FAQ (do read it to make sure it all applies to you and your licensing!)
I think the etiquette is just to ask first, which you did 🙂 I’ve already offered my licenses and people have taken those to modify as their own. Just be aware that you’re responsible for what your site says, and if you discover I’ve said something truly idiotic, please tell me…
Thank you!
Yep, you’ll never make it happy in this regard unless you add a second image to the page in the content area. Think of the wordpress seo plugin and the color dots as a guide. I shoot for getting a bright yellow light on most images. I don’t worry about getting to green.

On that note, I’d like to add a FAQ to my site such as Jsnover has.
Jsnover, what is the correct etiquette for using and/or changing what you have written there as it very closely matches my feelings as to what should be on a FAQ for my site?Yes Jsnover, great FAQ. I’d be interested in using your basic outline as well, with some revisions in my own words, if you didn’t mind.

Dang, that is a LOT of work. The other question is what if a client downloads an image? Does the image contain the correct profile?
Not as much extra work as it sounds. Only takes a couple minutes to download the previews from my server, run them through a Photoshop action and reupload. I’m happy with the look and the customer still gets a file in the AdobeRGB colorspace.
To answer your other question, the final downloaded file is tagged with whatever colorspace you uploaded it as, so no problem there. At the time I was also hoping that getting imagick to work was going to fix the preview color issues. It didn’t, but what it does do is preserve all of the metadata in the thumbs and previews. The original processor (can’t think of it’s name right now) stripped all the info out. I remember both you and I had a lot of trouble getting imagick to work but it was still worth it.
Hey Don – I upload in AdobeRGB as well and definitely did notice it. Now after uploading the images and processing I am downloading the thumbnails and watermarked previews and running them through an action to attach the profile to the image as well as a bit of sharpening and then re-uploading. Added a small bit of work but the images have much more snap now.
Anyone? I’ve noticed this with a few other people since launching my site but can’t remember who now.
Christine, I think because the site has not gone fully live yet all uploaded images are not showing. My understanding from Justin is only a small part of the images available show up in the search at this time to keep bandwidth use down until they officially launch. I don’t think you have anything to worry about.
That’s great to hear Leo! A more robust batch editor allowing changes to just specific attributes will be a BIG help.
As for point two is there any chance of implementing something like the open source plus packs calculator: http://www.stockartistsalliance.org/pluspacks/index.htm to make the licensing of Rights Managed images complete within symbiostock.
In my opinion, this would be the way to move forward with RM licensing in a way that is easy and understandable for the buyer as well as opening symbiostock to the many RM shooters who will otherwise not participate. Also, this calculator is from the Plus Coalition ( https://www.plusregistry.org ) which may end up playing a big role in the future of stock licensing.

Just a question, Vancouver is Canada right? Or is there a Vancouver in the USA as well?
There’s a Vancouver, Washington and a Vancouver, Canada. They’re about a six hour drive apart.
Hey Rick….welcome! I lived in Oregon for many years and now live just over the border in Washington. You’ve got some nice work on your site. It’ll be great to see it grow.
Best,

I agree, the licencing system needs an overhaul and please sooner rather then later as this is the core of our business. If this goes wrong, buyers will lose all trust in symbiostock
