Title: vector upload with IPTC jpg?
Post by: mtkang on April 19, 2012, 01:23

hi all,

Bigstock still doesn't accept eps vector upload + preview jpg with IPTC info?

is there a way to get IPTC read for eps vector upload?

thanks.

I do my uploads with BS using the online form (after lots of problems with ftp), and on that it does as far as I know still take the jpeg (unless it just changed overnight).
Where it says choose file select the eps then it will ask for the optional jpeg too.

Yeah the only way for illustrators that do vectors is to upload via the web form as FTP isn't supported.  You'll start with the EPS file then another box will show up to the right where you'll browse to put in the jpg file.

Or you could just upload the EPS file they'll genereate the thumbnails and you can copy and paste your title, description and keywords in.  I had to do that on a few occasions when the system decided that my images should be marked as editorial and they're not.
