Title: Batch Process Work
Post by: SLP_London on March 28, 2013, 16:55
After FTP and files are in Unfinished area .... is there no way of assigning MR and assigning categories in bulk?

Help appreciated, thanks

When uploading additional formats on FTP you put a file with the same name (e.g. image.png) as your main image (e.g. image.jpg)  in the "additional" subfolder which is automatically associated with the image - I don't do model releases but believe there is a subfolder for these that probably works the same way.

I'm not sure I understand the response, but the only way I have found to speed up Dreamstime is to go to the last image you uploaded in your unfinished images queue and complete the categories for that one and add a MR if needed. When you submit that one, it automatically shows you the next one in the queue (starting from the end) and you can copy across the same categories if the image is similar.

The reason I start at the end is that I have more images in my unfinished queue than I have upload slots for, and I want to work on those newer images first.

Never found a way to do it faster than that. Sorry!

This is how I do it too.  If there's  faster way, I don't know it.

Thanks, will give this a try tomorrow.

I'm pretty new to this, but sometimes I get the impression that these people (agencies) must just get a real kick out of making contributors miserable!
