Anyone tried Deepmeta?  I have just downloaded it and I am downloading the data from istock.  Looks interesting and anything that makes istock more fun to use will be good.

I think it is free.

and how does it make life easier?

Hi pals,

I am using it since 2007 and never had any issue with it.
I find the application to be very useful, user friendly, stable and pretty fast.

Just my two cents...

I find it very useful, not only with keywording but also because I can put iamges there even if I dont have any free upload slots. I do keywording and then when the slots are opened, I can just upload it.

For a start I must say that I have very limited experience with the istock site....

My first uploads were done using the IST homepage interface... And that was a frithtening experinece... The keywording was terrible...

Then I downloaded deepmeta....  It was user friendly and above all... The keywording and categorizing works perfectly and seems to be fully compatible with the IST keywording rules...

Do invest about one hour in learning this application.. You won't regret it..

Copy keywords, categories, model releases across a whole series of images, for example. Doing all the homework stuff before uploading. Generate thumbnail links to other images of the same series in the image description. It's very specific designed to deal with iStock upload process and the very special parts of iStock. Absoute time-saver.

I've been using it for more than a year to do most of my uploads. It's free but it's invaluable. If it would cost some money, I would still use it, saves dozens of hours.

I think it makes the entire upload process quicker and easier for me.  In addition, since I submit to other sites, its a nice way to keep track of what images you've had accepted or rejected there
