Maybe only rising to 15MB limit on EPS 8 will do? |
I concur.
I think you should keep EPS 8 available as long as it's microstock standard. When I start an illustration I do it with all eps8 requirements in my head. Doing an illustration for eps10 then making it compatible with eps8 means a lot of redundancy, pretty much I could just start the illustration over again. So double the work just for SS doesn't seem too appealing. |

so raising the standard to EPS10 and allowing transparencies means we'll be causing vendor lock-in's for AI?
yeah, I guess I'll be passing on the transparencies. Monopolies = bad.
OTOH, I'm glad to hear the file size is up... there's a handful of illustrations that ended up on the back-burner because they were too big :-) |

Hmm
I dont think this is a good move. Ok file size 15Mb is ok but going from AI8 to IA10 is not ok. If you plan to accept files that are compatible with AI10 than you should still accept vectors made compatible to AI8 wich is compatible with AI10 and I dont see a reason why you wouldnt accept AI8 files anymore.
I really think you shuld let us upload files compatible with AI8 for ever.
The files that are allready online and are compatible with AI8 are allready compatible with AI10 and all th new files that are compatible with AI10 should have a sort of a stamp notifing the buyers that it is only AI10 compatible.
If you need that stamp you can ask me do design it for you (:P).
HiCk!

And what about gradients, are they accepted in AI 10 ?

Of course, we're upgrading not downgrading, so gradients also compatible. |

Another question yet:
I'm currently assisting two new contributors with their initial ten. Do the new requirements already apply to those as well or do they still need to submit eps ai8 at up to 5MB with their first batch?
Not sure because of the transition period and I don't want to tell them something wrong.
Thanks in advance! |

Hi Akaiser, obviously I'm not an SS admin person, but as the new requirements are coming in to play in just a couple of days time, I would probably be inclined to get them to prepare their first images to meet these new requirements rather than have them prepare for AI8 and then having to kind of re-educate them for preparing to AI10 later. If you get my drift here.
Just my opinion at this time. |

We will alert you to the end of the transition period prior to implementing the change permanently.
In the meantime, if your file is rejected, you will receive your rejection reason as well as information regarding this new requirement. |
As stated here AI8 will still be accepted for some time.

Wow, that's awesome! I often have problems when I try to use transparency or grunge effects! Great news, thanks! :) |

On the other hand I think is great on the other hand I think when I make a complex illustration spend alot of time in it and only getting a few bucks in return.
Only make a design for SS with AI10 compatible doesn't make sence.
I like experimenting but i don't know if it's worth it. |

Sorry for quoting myself here, but just had another think about this. If your people are also going to submit to other agencies, then it might be advisable to get them to meet requirements for AI8.
Hmm, problemo's. lol |

Yep, I agree with you Kaycee. Maybe just design with features of AI8 compatability up to 5mb and save 2 eps files, one for SS in AI10 and other in AI8, until such time as other agencies allow AI10. Only then begin experimenting and producing larger files etc. |

Thanks for your answers. :)
At the moment I'm rather asking in regard of their actual submissions than "teaching" them how to do their vectors properly in a long run. I guess, I'll advise them to stick to the former requirements for now, unless I'm told something different by one of our admins.
Thanks again!

Fantastic !
So now we can use transparencies which is so beautiful.
But, what's about radial gradient ? Are you accepted it too ? And effects if not expanded ?
Will be nice to have a complete list.
I really don't mind if other stock sites doesn't accept EPS 10. I think they will follow pretty soon when they will see that sell increases on Shutter. |
