How is everyone dealing with the 10MB restriction limit at BigStockPhoto?
I have a Canon 5D and its files converted from RAW to Jpeg at high quality generally go over 10MB.

To me it is a rediculous rule. It doesn't help anyone. I have to either downsize or "down-quality" the images. This happens a lot with textures or a lot of my outdoor images.

I think that at some point we should organize a group and petition to have it raised or domolished. I know this sounds silly, but at a workflow level, their killing me. Sometimes I just say to heck with the images that get kicked back and don't worry about it. I have 600 images and although I should, I don't worry if one doesn't get seen on BigStock.

I agree that it's ridiculous. The whole point of shooting with 10MP+ cameras is to provide the highest resolution/compression to their buyers. I was told that eventually they would increase this 10MB limit to something higher but not sure when so I know they're at least aware of the problems with this policy.
