I’ll happily donate an image for inclusion in the header if you let me know which one.
I’m not with micro stock agencies but with macro stocks and every one of them will reject sRGB and only accept AdobeRGB.
I’m not a group admin but I know that groups can be set up as ‘open’. All you have to do as a visitor is click “join group” and you’re in.
It’s probably just a privacy setting to tick.I believe AdobeRGB is THE standard in the stock image market so we should probably stick with it.
I’m wondering however if a processing routine or a plugin could be developed to get a customized enhancing of vibrance and sharpness for screen appearance, just like it’s done with Smugmug galleries.
I’d still be in favor of groups. I think it’s important that participants rather feel like being a part of it not just a fan.
But I’m not an expert. I do manage several pages and I know how hard it is to get lots of likers. I don’t manage a group but it appeals to me that it seems to be more ‘community spirit” driven.
And I actually think Symbiostock is more of a community than a head organization.But again, most important is that something is being done. If it’s successful or not – time will tell. Whatever you choose, I’ll support it.
I’m sure Leo doesn’t mind to spread the word about Symbiostock.
When you’ve set something up, let us all know so we can join the group, post content and share it on our pages and timelines.

The “liking each other’s Facebook page” won’t do a lot for Symbiostock. A well organized “group” with interesting content, not just a collection of links like on Twitter, but striking images and discussions about what Symbiostock is about, might help a lot to spread the word.
I agree. In addition, with Facebook you can promote your posts and advertise to specific groups…art directors and designers, for example. Maybe people who are interested can get together and start a page. But we’d need donations if we were going to do paid promotions.
I wouldn’t start paid advertising. Let’s get 50 to 100 SYS members posting at discussing interesting content and at some point it will get its own momentum. I’ve seen this with other groups before (a boudoir photography group went from 20-ish to almost 4000 within a few weeks).
I’m thinking a “group” is probably the better way to go since it enhances a community feeling instead of a head organization.The question would be to go with a ‘page’ or a ‘group’.
And of course, who can be admin/mod and drive good content to it?

Anyone thought of an open but moderated “Group” on Facebook yet? With a mod posting one or a few really striking images of the Symbiostock (hand picked, not per automated members queue) network a day and encouraging discussions etc.? The image of course including watermark and source to buy it.
I don’t understand why you would want to remove the CTA boxes. If you simply don’t use them (with content), they shouldn’t appear on your site.
What Lightroom plugin is needed?
I use the “Export” function of lightroom to upload my images (incl. title, caption and keywords) directly to the Symbiostock uploads FTP folder. All you have to do is “process & publish” the images inside WP.
I have to agree with Jo although I must admit that some ads, like for apps when I check FB on my iPad, do work with me.
I have good success with content on my business pages on FB in general but never received any countable responses from paid ads.I had it to ask me three different questions once. It’s a little annoying but no big deal to me.
O.K., got it. Thanks a lot.
