Free Software For Selling Photography Online
v1.9.1 fixes iStockphoto login, introduces Java 6 native
The new ProStockMaster v1.9.1 fixes iStockphoto login and upload of stock photos to the microstock agency, following the latest “F5″ changes on the iStock web. It is also the first version of our microstock software which was compiled with Java 6, both Mac and Windows. PSM v1.9.1 simply runs faster than older versions. If you got Windows 7 64-bit or Vista 64-bit I recommend you to download and install Java 64-bit. The latest ProStockMaster v1.9.1 will perfectly run with 64-bit Java, and you get even more performance benefits.
Note that if you upgrade to v1.9.1 from anything older than v1.9.0 you have to install the full version of ProStockMaster. Follow this instructions to do so.
Please do not panic if you see this error message when you run the new software:
It’s OK, it just says that you are running Windows 7 or Vista 
The 1-minute solution for that is described in question #3 in our FAQ

iStockphoto License Infringement
about 1 year ago - No comments
Swiss right wing party Schweizerische Volkspartei (SVP) misused images licensed from iStockphoto in their poster. Microstock models are displayed here as criminals. iStock licensing agreement is mumbling when it goes to deal with such a case. iStockphoto Licensing Agreement is not protective and restrictive enough when the use of microstock photography should be strictly prohibited. According to CEPIC, “Sven Ole Schubert, iStock spokesman, announced intentions to approach the organizers after having finished examinations”

I love the product, but downloaded the latest update that fixes iStock and now everytime I try to log in I get an error relating to ProStockMater.properties file and can’t get in. Help!!!

Hi Steve,
On Windows 7 & Vista you have to run ProStockMaster as an administrator. It’s because of Windows UAC settings. I am still looking for a reasonable solution for that.
Meanwhile, the workaround is very simple and takes exactly 1 minute – just read question #3 in this FAQ

Hi,
After updated the latest update my new image thumbnail not show up can see the square box but no thumbnail.

If you are on Mac: from v1.9.0 and up PSM is offered for Snow Leopard only. You can upgrade your Leopard OS to Snow Leopard for just $29 at Apple store http://store.apple.com/us/product/MAC_OS_X_SNGL
Windows: run the software as an administrator. It takes just a minute to fix that. Please consult with question #3 here to do so: http://prostockmaster.com/faq-2

i m using window 7, I tried all your suggestion at FAQ, but doesn’t work, after update it just doesn’t build thumbnail any more, it wasn’t slow it just not function.

hi, the thumbnail still not display, I m thinking to unintall my paid version and install the latest free version to solve this, before doing that I want to know how to I backup my exiting data and will that be any problem? tq

Your paid version is exactly the same software as the freeware offered on our web site. The only difference could be that the freeware is much more up to date. So it is a no-brain decision: get the full version of ProStockMaster from our web site and install it instead or on top of your existing installation.
Here is how to do that
