I’ve been told it’s revolutionary, sure to change the world, and it’s finally available for public consumption! I’ve been working long and hard (that’s what she said) the past few weeks to add some needed fixes and features. I have used it to upload literally tens of photos. Most importantly it is the first tool in the history of the universe to offer keyword disambiguation before you upload an image. That means no more manual disambiguation through the IS web interface! Think of the time that can be saved. Make sure you are prepared for the June 4th best-match algorithm changes, you can’t afford not to use LightStock. Speaking of affordability, it is available for only 3 easy payments of $0.00, absolutely free, no money down, no contracts to sign. Of course if you find it useful, kicking me down some beer money is always appreciated.

iStockRoyalties is the tool that tracks the historical development of your iStockphoto portfolio and royalties, and projects future performance. It works with any number of downloads, at any canister level, exclusive or otherwise.

iStockalypse was born in early 2005, as an official multi-day iStockphoto event. Artists and photographers from the international iStock community come together to collaborate, share knowledge, and exchange tricks of the stock photography trade. The events transform hobbyists into knowledgeable photographers, and endow them with the skills for a professional career.

Each day iStock sets the stage for participants to launch into high-end photo-shoots – carefully planning and selecting locations, models, wardrobe and fashion designers, hair and make-up professionals, props, professional equipment and mentorship. Each shoot is a platform for attendees to push their abilities to new levels, individually and collaboratively. Under savvy expert guidance, beginners and seasoned pros get to share what they know and create brilliant images with old and new friends.

iStockalypse is organized by official staff, with heavy involvement from community members on the ground in the host cities. Local contributors in each location bring an insider’s view of cultural heritage. Since the first event in Las Vegas, iStock has traveled to Seattle, Prague, Boston, Slovenia, New York and Barcelona – without any plans of slowing down. Check iStockalypse.com for upcoming city announcements.

This is a small site/blog to help iStockers of the world get together for informal social gatherings. The idea is that where the official iStockalypses and the minilypses are focused on photography workshops, the Microlypses are simply for getting to know - and networking with the fellow iStockers in your area. All individual events are hosted by enthusiastic locals, and the site is organized by yours truly, Rasmus or theprint, which is my username on iStock. Also, read this for more info on the whole Microlypse idea.

There are often times when you need to direct someone to your work on IStock by placing a link in a web page or in an email. It may be to promote your work on IStock from your own web site, send a client to IStock to view specific images (yours or somebody elses), or simply to brag to your Mum about your latest digital triumph.
