Awesome platform! Love how they work with images and contributors!
Been with you a long time and have always liked the site. Obviously I would like more sales, but overall I am happy dealing with Dreamtime.
When I started working on this project, I grabbed a comp image to work with, but when I used that image's number to download and pay — without noticing, it downloaded a different file. Similar enough to not notice, but yes—a different file. I found the original I wanted - combined into another file that was NOT the one I originally grabbed. So basically it was a bait and switch — and now I've used credits on an incorrect file. Please explain why the file reference number would have changed? Now I need to download a different file, (that has other elements in it, that I know for sure were not the same as my comp) OH, and because these are EL-P files, they were more expensive. So we basically wasted credits for something that carried the same reference number but was not the file I originally downloaded. Why?
I found most of what I need for my new book cover. I have used dreamstime for years and am usually happy with it.

Auto renewal on credits...sigh. Does everybody have to be out for taking your money automatically when all you want are some credits

I respect you because you are now a historic agency, it's a shame about the low earnings, very low, it would be nice to see you fly high.
Very difficult navigation, I have already paid to download this image and cant track where it has been downloaded to
