Title: upload review times...
Post by: danhowl on February 11, 2014, 08:09
Has something dramatically changed at Dreamstime? I am accustomed to 50-60 hour review estimates when I upload, but I did a batch yesterday with an estimated review time of 12 hrs and they are already under review. Did they just get a lot faster or is nobody uploading to them anymore?

It's hit or miss. The forum has a recent thread with people complaining about how long it is taking. Mine have been taking a long time as have many others. I think they are trying to hire more reviewers since they are accepting unlimited amounts of images. I have illustrations, editorial and rf photos. They are all taking a long time (currently). I wish they would get rid of the ETA list, it is never right. Sometimes it says 20 hours and it means 50, sometimes it says 50 and  it takes 4 hrs. It's a useless indicator and always has been.

If you're hitting the 7000 limit weekly than Yuri will no longer be the King of Stock  ;D
