Has anyone submitted images with titles that are not caps for the first letter of each word?  I would also wonder what happens if I have more than 30 keywords.  Does it kick the image back to me or truncate the first 30?  I can tell you, if the title thing is a stickler, I am not going back to change 3,000 image titles. My titles are like: Cup of hot chocolate, not Cup Of Hot Chocolate.  I don't actually have any shots of hot chocolate but just sayin.

My titles are like yours (First letter capitalised only), and were accepted. The same for keywords: I had pictures accepted with up to at least 40 keywords, they don't even truncate the first 30. They don't accept numbers in keywords though.

Looks more like a guideline than a rule.

Thank you.  Appreciate the feedback.

I am very confused with the Upload system.

I managed to upload via FTP, but the pictures got (soft)rejected because the file name was used as the title. I just can't find a way to change this. If i go to the edit menu, all i can edit is the description and the keywords (tags) or write a comment for the reviewer.

Another thing i don't understand is, how i can attach the correct model releases after uploading with ftp???
Hey Dan,

Can you let me know your PhotoDune username? I'll have a reviewer take a look at your issue.

Regarding model releases, when you upload your photos via FTP into the photos folder, you simply upload any model releases needed for those photos into the model_releases folder for that batch. That's all there is to it, no need to select and assign them afterwards etc :)

How soon you get to know the results of your application after uploading the first 5 files?

I yielded to Lisas Theorem : don't leave money on the table (since tomorrow might never come).
I uploaded 10 but after a while I got error 500 on their server. I hope they won't be like Veer that can't handle slow uploads from poor people in the third world.  :o

Hey Sion,

Reviews can take up to 3-4 days max :) Portfolio reviews to be accepted as a contributor are generally even quicker, usually 24 hours or less :)

This sounds like a very cumbersome procedure and I sent you a PM about it.
(deleted - upload works great, except for the releases)

Does Australia have a long Thanksgiving weekend too, eating stuffed Kangaroos?

Can't work how Photodune operates. Didn't get an acknowledgement for the application.

I've heard kangaroos are an endangered species in Australia as they export too many of them to northern atmosphere for Thanksgiving dinner. Turkeys are unaffordable now with the debt crisis there.

There are many different types of kangaroos and wallabies. Some are endangered others relatively plentiful.
You can buy kangaroo at the supermarket. You can get Crocodile and emu from speciality suppliers.


No thanksgiving isn't celebrated in Australia.

I've spent in all duration around 14 months in Oz, 5 of the cities and lots in between. A while back though. I tried Kangaroo but I can't remember what it was like, which may mean that I didn't think much of it. I do remember the meat being so cheap there and of good quality. However, I hear that prices aren't so cheap now.

Kangaroo's nothing special, low fat content to hard to cook.

Prices have been going up but I think the majority of the price rise you'd be talking about would be Australian dollar related.
10 years ago the Pound was 33p to Australia Dollar and the US was 50cents. Now its like double those rates. Cheaper for Australian's going to the US or UK but more expensive the other way.

I have been uploading to Photodune.  I would agree with what others have said that having to retype the title is a pain, but I am getting through it.  I have been pleased to have two sales right away (only for 25c each, but it is a start), so I feel optimistic for the future with them.  Has anyone managed to link Lightburner to Photodune to automate the uploading process?

Cheers

I had lots of problems uploading at first because I was learning "filezila" at the same time. It is running pretty smooth for me now. I am separating my files by the models and uploading multiple files along with the model release for them. After uploading I go to my dashboard, click the blue upload button (although I have already uploaded by ftp), scroll down a little on the next page and there will be in blue letters xx files pending, I press the process button next to "xx files pending" and wait for results. Easy....Peasy

Hmm, we clear out the portfolio application queue on a daily basis (except for weekends) so this sounds like yours may have been reviewed already or there may be a bug somewhere. If you can email me your marketplace username I'll look into it for you. ( jarel[at]envato.com )

Thanks!

Yes, working perfectly.

Create a custom channel
Use your normal username and password
FTP server: ftp.marketplace.envato.com

and don't forget to set up the upload folder: /bulk_import/photos/

You'll still need to import pictures on site, since it's a custom channel.

Ok, many thanks.  I have set it up (and also one for Fotolia which you helped me on in a different thread) but so far I haven't got either to work.  I will keep trying...  (cancel that - I have both working now  :))

Hi all, I might add that since LightBurner doesn't support model releases, you can simply create another custom channel and set the upload folder to /bulk_import/photos/model_releases/ now you can send all your photos to the /bulk_import/photos/ directory and your MRs to the /bulk_import/photos/model_releases/ directory.  When you Process your photos in PhotoDune, the MRs will now be attached to the images.

Good luck!
