Hi Everyone,

I have just taken a new shoot of 100+ portrait shots of 3 models in total.

I want to upload on iStock - but my internet is super slow and it takes many minutes to upload each release.

Is there a way to upload a release once and then assign it to all photos? Are there other websites where you can to do this?

Any help much appreciated.
Isaac

No there, is no way to upload once.  It must be uploaded with each image.

If you want to save time, don't upload 100+ portrait shots.  They won't sell, if they are just portraits.  Pick a few and move on.

Most sites allow you to do what you want - I've sold the odd portrait too so there is hope!

The point that Sean was making wasn't that the sites won't allow it but that it is a waste of your own time to upload dozens of portraits of the same person when portraits rarely sell well.  It's much better to select that best of the bunch and upload only them.

You should resize your releases so that the longest side is 1000pix.. that will help uploading speed and seems to be large enough to make the sites happy.

Then if you aren't using Deepmeta to upload to iStock you are crazy.

Thanks for comments - have already resized releases to quite small but will go for 1000px next time.

Deepmeta looks amazing - can't believe had not heard of this!

I know I said 100+ portraits but I did not mean they are all similar plain portraits - they are many different activities / concepts etc...
