The image file was minimized as I must always do since my twelve mega pixel Kodak establishes a poster sized image of everything. Yeah, I know I could change the setting. But you never know just when that crazy lucky shot will come through. That’s a poor time to be thinking how unwise you were to reset the default specification on your digital camera’s memory and dimension settings.This way I can see the “postage stamp” light box value, as it were.

This might be some very valuable expertise to have practiced if you find yourself in the midst of a creative project where the ampltidue of return on a series of images can be communicated in a quick visual array.

So, you have a digital photo gallery of great optimized photo files with enhancements and resolutions per the microstock standards. But your product isn’t moving. What are your online options? Internet Marketing for Microstock Photographers involved some startegic thinking and a specialized approach to YOUR individual talents and skills. Don’t follow the model from someone else’s career. Use what works for you.

In tennis it’s considered a good thing to play with someone better than you, because it increases your focus and challenges you to bring up the skill level of your game. If you think you don’t benefit from reviewing the output of other photographer’s, I’d advise you to bring that lens around 180 degress. Not only do you see the finished result in its highly polished final form, but you can instantly see congruent images in your own portfolio in your mind’s eye that might trasnition to similar, more marketable image files.
