As you may know, recently the stock agency iStockphoto has started accepting vector illustrations in AI and EPS 10.0 formats. This opens up new opportunities for illustrators, one of which is the use of transparency effects. That’s what we’ll discuss next.

If you’ve been working with stock photo sites for a considerable time, you’re probably aware of the Free section available on these sites. In these sections, you can download a curated selection of high-quality photos and illustrations offered by stock photo sites free of charge.

Today I want to introduce you to the translation of another interesting article from the Adobe Stock blog about the features of preparing content for stock in the current year, focusing on current trends. In fact, it would be more accurate to translate its title as something like “Shake Up Your Stock” but I don’t think that sounds right. So, I decided to add a bit of improvisation to the translation. I hope you like it.

As you know, significant changes related to payment of earned funds occurred on the iStock photo bank starting January 29, specifically – payments to Moneybookers (Skrill) were canceled, and by default, they are now monthly, provided the minimum withdrawal amount is accumulated at the end of the reporting month. Currently, this minimum amount is set at $100. But that’s not all.

Today is the continuation of the article on transparency effects in Illustrator, which I started publishing in December.

That random internet search became a turning point; it directed me to microstocks, and Dreamstime was the first stock agency I registered with and sold an image.
