We are now in a transitional period towards the new media service we plan to introduce very soon.
Till then we suggest to hold on your images uploads.

Finally, we have completed the forum integration! Come and share your thoughts, show up your stock images.

I am delighted to announce that ProStockMaster, the leading desktop software for a contributing stock artist adds Pixamba support. The new version 1.7.0 of this well-known stock submitters tool released today includes integrated one-click upload, stats and per-image info for photos and illustrations (raster) uploaded to Pixamba.

We look forward for your great submissions!

We have fixed the 'declined' images status. Now it is shows up as "declined" and not "waiting to be submitted" like it was in the past. In addition, following FlemishDreams suggestion the list of declined images shows now the rejection reasons.

Following the previous post here, we have added a 5-images test for the first-time submitters, thus helping us to concentrate on the best contributors and on high quality submissions. It was a necessary step due to the growing site popularity.

This site upgrade also includes changes in "My Account", adding new interface to "My Portfolio" and showing up the list of declined images. This is a part of our work-in-progress on the personal statistics module.

Since Pixamba is gaining popularity and we work hard handling the upload stream, we are going to introduce soon a simple 5-images test for the new contributors. A new contributor will be asked to send us 5 different images for our review. If all these 5 images are accepted by our editors, from now on the contributor can upload more images.
This practice is quite common for the stock agencies, helping them to focus on the submitters who upload high quality and high value images that can be used in stock photography.

Following many requests from our contributors we have finished all the required preparations and now we are ready to accept DVD submissions from our members. Please make sure that all images contain IPTC data in plain English and the amount of keywords is 7 to 50. If you send both photos and illustrations please create different folders for them and name them clearly (i.e. "photos/" and "illustrations/") or, alternatively, provide them on two separate DVDs.
Also enclose a note with your member name and your email on file with Pixamba.

Send media to our postal address and we'll put it online for you.

The number of submissions grows daily, hope it will keep going this way.
The MIN upload size went down from 6 MP to 4 MP, thus helping our contributors to submit many stock illustrations that were prepared for other stock agencies at smaller sizes.
We also have found and fixed a few site issues, including MS IE tricks with our categories tree.

So, the first week "on the air" went very well. Not an easy week, but remarkable good.
We rapidly increase our midstock and microstock collection of royalty free images and this keeps our hands busy all the time. The infrastructure we choose for www.pixamba.com is extremely versatile and can be adjusted according to the system load and storage capacity.
Since both the load and the images collection growth all the time, and fast, we work around the clock ensuring high system uptime and short response time.

It seems that we are on the right way: the response time of the system is very good even now and it is going to be even faster soon, when we'll do some more IT & development work.

Meanwhile, our editors receive daily hundreds of adorable new royalty free photos and illustrations like this one:
