Can you add fixed price subscription  ?

That's a very good idea Bateleur. But I can't say what I like or dislike the most.  I like a little more uploading than others I think. But it depend where.

I like taking pictures outside but I hate the studio. I like finding good keywords because english is not my first language and then I discover many synonyms that I wasn't know. But I hate finding the irrevelent keywords for each pics of a series

Bizarre but I hate uploading the pictures to my computer and post processing depend on how I think the picture will sell or not. I hate loosing my time, so I don't upload many that I don't think that will sell multiple times.

I don't record things, just give me the money if there's some.

So I'm lost

Ah-ha! Trying to sneak in a 'I hate rejections? are you?     Gotcha!

Yeah, you can add all sorts of qualifiers ... "I hate taking photos when I've got the white balance on the wrong setting". 

We're dealing with broad areas here.

I hate keywording (even though I'm also a writer). Sends me to sleep. And I don't much like filing and record-keeping. I'm not a bookkeeper.

That's worth adding, I hate the catagories.

I didn't put in categorizing images as a separate choice as I felt that was all part of uploading. What's more, it varies from site to site. Some have complicated systems - which are so annoying because they're usually incomplete. There's just no category for the photo you're working on. Bigstock is one of the worst with that. Others don't require categories at all.

I also didn't include disambiguating as a separate choice because that's unique to iStock. (Is it? I don't know of any other agency that requires it.) I felt that it was also under 'Uploading'.

Tell you what .... I've added another choice 'Other things' and maybe, if people choose it, they can say what their 'other' is in a post.

I don't like the keywording. English is not my native language, so very often I'm sitting with a dictionair.
Also post-processing is not my favourite, but that's more because I still have to learn a lot of photoshop

I checked "other" because it's the lack of standardization that I find frustrating.

Categories are a big one - I'm not even sure they matter, but if they do, it'd be nice to have something standard across sites and supported by Photoshop so these things could live with the image instead of being site specific.

Keywording is an issue because what you can and can't put varies from site to site. It's not just iStock's disambiguation issues with the CV, but which sites support multi-word keywords, which sites do stemming (especially plurals) automatically and which don't. If you omit plurals, you get hosed at sites like DT which don't automatically find the singular form if a buyer types in the plural as a search term, but if you include them, you get error messages from SS which handles that and strips plurals.
