Title: DT managed collections
Post by: berryspun on November 01, 2007, 10:25
Post the DT collections you manage in this thread, and if you have any pictures which would fit a collection, ask the photographer to add it to theirs.  A personal message on MSG or on DT with the picture numbers and the collection it corresponds to would keep this thread mainly with the list of collections available.

This will add richness and diversity to the collections we personally manage, and of course will create more exposure.  I hope that some of your pictures fit into one of these categories, I will be glad to add them.

Just added them, great pictures Alessandro!

Who else manage DT collections?  It would be nice to have a wider variety of topics.

As a side note and to make your work easier: we will be releasing a "convert lightbox into collection" feature. Most probably it will happen tomorrow, if the feature is "lucky" enough during beta testing. The lightboxes can be created much more easily. Doing various searches and clicking the "add to lightbox" icon on the results page is much easier than going through several pages.  Creating a lightbox first, then converting it into a collection (erase or not erase it) will be much easier to do.

Thought you might like to be the first to know about it ;)

Good thing because I was tired to make a race to put the files in the collection, before somebody look at, because it was online before I finish it.

OK, forgive me for such a stupid question but what is the difference between a collection and a lightbox?  Is one public and one private?   :-[

Is one public and one private?   :-[

Yes, lightboxes are private and mostly used by buyers to work with their clients, team staff etc, while collections are a community feature.

Some contributors use collections to promote their work on their own site. Create a collection with your work only and you can link it on your own site, even if the collection doesn't show up on our section (it has to include at least 5 photographers for that). Assign it the referral link and you will win an extra 10%, reaching 60% or 70% for the sales brought this way.

That's a neat feature, can we have some sort of HTML code to embed in a webpage, so we can have not just a link to the collection, but show it directly with active links?

I have just one collection that has been in fact neglected for over one year (it doesn't even show the Easter illustrations I made this year): Easter (http://www.dreamstime.com/easter-rcollection2050-resi124163)

Hmm, I think there used to be more images in it, I guess people withdrew some of their images.

I'll think of a second collection soon, but those who want to be in my Easter collection, PM me with your images (a max of five per member).

Regards,
Adelaide
