Thanks again Joe, that's given me something to work on, do I have to convert from raw to jpeg to upload to Shutterstock?

One really cool effect - "Nice".
There's a slider, like in jpg compression, set it to max and any image will look nice! |

If you decide to shoot and work in RAW, think of that as your master file, the original. Then you save a .jpg version to upload, set to maximum quality .jpg. The uncompressed original file might be 30-50 MB but the jpg version might be 4-6 MB. Most stock sites take .jpg (max quality) for their submisisons, they really don't take RAW that I know of...
But if it's just artifacting, you may be able to get rid of most of that by making sure your camera is shoot at max quality jpg, and you use a lower ISO. Also, this wasn't mentioned before, but you should UPSIZE your pictures.... If you try to "increase the resolution" by making the image larger in a photo program, it would add "fake" pixels and likely artifacts. Just in case that might have been the cause of the artifacts....
HTH,
