Re: User passwords compromission?

I would much prefer to deal with someone directly on this rather than posting emails and details to a public forum. I’m sure passwords are encrypted, that really doesn’t change the fact that someone has taken that information. Please stop giving reasons that “It can’t happen,” and instead focus on i...

Re: User passwords compromission?

I have received the same email scam last week, with my password that is only used on this website.

Very clearly you have a data breach, as someone has both my email and password associated with this website. Please let me know what you are doing to address this serious issue.

Hey! Been about 3 years since my last upload, essentially stopped even visiting the site since. Saw this thread through Facebook though, so got me curious enough to poke my head in for a visit.

RE: Photo Usage On Canvas

I sell canvas prints fairly often, but I always get the printing done myself, and then sell the customer the finished product. I do not send a high-res file for the customer to print, and I imagine most other photographers would do things the same way. To give you an idea, for a 12 x 18 print on can...

RE: Photo Purchase Request

Here's what I do. See if you can find out what other photographers in your area charge for prints.

If the company wants to print it themselves, then subtract a bit because you don't have t...

Don't sell the photo outright. Sell a license for them to use the photo for specific purposes, for a specific period of time.
