I am just getting a red bar for adobe and the message "Stock not ready.  I have redone the metadata multiple times, and nothing changes.  When I used to use StockSubbmitter, it would tell me what was wrong so I could fix it, but this information is not appearing in Microstock.plus.

Please Help.

So,  I am sure this has been asked before, but things change so I thought I would ask this question as being relevant now in 2020.  I currently have my stuff on SS, AS DT, and RF.  My best performers are SS and AS.  DT has done very little and 123RF, well, it is not even worth mentioning.  But even what I make on SS is not really worth the time and effort, I put it, but I have a day job, and enjoy what I do photographically, so there's that.   If you want to see some samples of my work, you can watch this video montage I made for Easter to cheer people up. https://youtu.be/WfHEt7AnujM

I am just wondering there is a better place for my work to be than microstock?  Looking for ideas?

I am not sure what happened, but when I launch SS now, I get unceasing login pop up windows for Adobe Stock.  No matter how many times I fill in the correct user name and password, it just comes back.  Please fix this.

It's been a couple of weeks now that I cannot even launch the program. I have uninstalled and reinstalled.  Nothing works. The program has become increasingly unstable of the past couple of months, with several functions stopping.  Is anyone else having these problems?

Yesterday the QuickMeta function started giving me the "ParseError" again.  I have restarted the program and restarted the computer, but it is still giving me the error.  I can still use it though if I uncheck IMAGE and check VIDEO.  Then it works normally.  It only gives the error is I try to do a search for Image keywords.

So, I was having trouble and uninstalled and reinstalled SS to try to fix the problem.  I have done a lot of work since the reinstall of SS, before I realized that none of my old data was there for all the images I had processed before the reinstall (several hundred images).  I have a backup from before the reinstall, but I am wondering if I can restore that old back up without changing the current data.  To make it simple, I just want to add the data from the old backup to SS without out changing the current data.  Can I do this?  How can this be done?

This just started today.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled but I am still having the same problem.  Every time I try to use the QuickMeta function, it just hangs and then gives me this error.  Am I the only person this is happing too?

When I started getting interested in photography 20 years ago I was doing a lot of foreign travel for my job, which took me to some awesome places where I could capture images of unusual things.   The problem was, back then digital camera technology was still in it's infancy and I was not rich enough to buy the best stuff on the market. I bought what was considered great equipment in it's day and it cost a pretty penny, but by today's standards, it is would severely lacking.  But it was what I had, and I was able to take a lot of nice pictures with it.  Many of these images are so rare, nobody in micro stock or macro stock has them for sale.  My problem is, due to technical issues, most of them cannot get approved for sale. 

What I am looking for is creative ways to get them to pass.  Let me give you an example.   Here is a picture I would very much get approved of a Rooster-tail Cicada (fulgorid planthopper).  There are not pictures of a real fulgorid planthopper on the micro stock websites I have checked.  That search brings of a Pyrops candelaria, which is a completely different class of insect.

These shots have been rejected by every micro stock site I have tried, except for Deamstime, which I think, just accepts everything.  They have been rejected by shutterstock, 123RF, and adobe stock.  These are truly unique and I think it is worth trying to improve it them I can find a way to do it.  I am just not that good at advanced photos editing tricks.

Okay.  So I have been trying out stock submitter and I like it, except that I can find no way to synchronize it with my agencies.   What I mean is.  How do I make it talk to the agencies and get the status of images I have submitted.  For example.  After I submit images and they are reviewed, how does SS know which images has been approved or rejected?  Do you have to manually change the status of each image individually for each agency in the program?  That's a lot of work.
