I just tried to upload some images with releases and couldn't find a way to batch attach releases to images, and didn't see a way to attach several releases to a single image.  Am I missing something?

Hello. The best way to attach releases in batch is through the excel processor.

Firstly upload the relevant images and releases to your account. Then using our excel template list all filenames with the corresponding releases you wish to attach. Once processed, the releases will be linked to the images in your account. Please note a batch release application is also currently being worked on.

It is great that you have options like the excel processor but I am not sure any microstock photographer uses this method to organize their photos, keywords and releases as no other site offers this type of solution and for everything except the release, IPTC info is much more efficient.

Creating a spreadsheet to link images to model releases for 3000-4000 images is simply too time consuming to undertake for a single site.  I think I'll have to wait for a speedy online solution.

I uploaded some over 10 days ago but they are all stuck in "Images without metadata".  I can see the titles and keywords, they're OK with all the other sites, so what's gone wrong?

Same for me,any feedback is appreciated!

I spoke to them last week and as far as I understand, they have some problems with metadata. 

Johnnie emailed me after I made the post here, they are working on it.

Has anybody who uploaded had their images reviewed and/or received the promised bonus?
It seems rather quiet there?!

My first batch was reviewed, 100% acceptance.  I'm not bothered about the upload bonus but I don't think they will pay out before that closes on the 15th.

That's good to hear. I had some stuff reviewed more than a week ago, but nothing since then. Maybe they have a big backlog.

I checked my royalties report at Isignstock a couple of hours ago, and it showed 22downloads and 0£ in November. I checked again now, and the column with  #downloads were gone 
Anyone else experienced that?

I have 150+ files online there, all uploaded before december 15th: no bonus, no royalties even no image views. Site looks dead to me

They might only report sales and bonuses quarterly, so perhaps we will see something soon?

I got a mail 13.Dec saying the latest royalties and the bonus payments were being calculated, and would be entered into the royalties sections before Christmas, but nothing yet. Guess it's just around the corner

I uploaded a few files two or three months ago only to discover that the site was disfunctional.  It wouldn't retain my edits, release attachments, etc.  So I decided to forget about it.  I recently received an email message from them, telling me that they had fixed some problems with the site, but doing so necessitated the removal of my photos, and that I would have to resubmit.  I uploaded 14 photos on Dec 21 to "test the waters."  The site seems to be functioning, and my photos are in the que awaiting review.

I have about 300 images, half of them before nov 15th, and no royalties of any kind, neither from the number of files uploaded

110 Images online for two months now, no view-no sales. Big zero. I guess the 0 zero customers dont buy these days...

Still waiting...   

Finally some earnings reported from November and December - and it actually looks good  
They beat the middle tier sites for me  

(excluding the upload bonus)

I also had a few sales reported in december but i didn't get any upload bonus. i uploaded about 1200 images during the promo period.

I have sales from november to january, each month more than the precedent one... What I don't know is if the total in the last month is the addition of all the months or only the volume of that one. Beacuse I can't find otherwise the total. I don't know either when we get paid...
In December it appears a quantity for my uploaded images in the promo period.

Dear all,

Please accept my apologies for the lack of correspondence over the last month. I'm afraid we have had a few technical issues with royalty reporting and image views however everything has now been corrected. Royalties, bonus payments and image views are now all live and accurate in the contributor area. All the zero figures showing were almost certainly incorrect – I'm very sorry for any confusion or concern this has caused.

Moving forward we are currently working on a number of improvements for the contributor area which will hopefully make it a more user friendly experience. This includes batch release attaching and a scrolling feature between pages in the portfolio.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the contributor area - any suggestions for improvement or general feedback would be greatly welcomed.

We are also working on a variety of initiatives in order to further extend the reach of isignstock including our imminent alignment with a leading global  supplier within the sign industry.  Full implementation will take a few months but the beginning stages of this co-operation are already in motion.  The consequent promotion through this partner's international dealer network will put your content in front of a whole new market.

With best regards,

Johnnie

Hi there,

The amounts are not accumulative so this is what you made in each month. Our minimum payout with Paypal or Moneybookers is USD60/GBP40. You will need to request a payout - to do this please send us an invoice which includes PayPal or Moneybookers details. Our accounts department will process contributor payments in the second week of each month.

I hope this is helpful,

Johnnie

Hi Johnny,

I just checked the website, has the promotion with bonus for uploading had delayed till this month 15?

I can't find the information which of my images had been downloaded..even i had seen some royalties in my account.

I can't see the bonus payment? At least the amount under royalties doesn't add up to be both picture sales and bonus.. especially considering I for a very short moment saw the number of pictures that were downloaded in November. Or is the bonus spread out on November, December and January?

is there a ftp upload method?

I kept having failure using the uploading page that the downloading will have an error after partial uploading.

If you can install a facility within your website where contributors can request for payout rather than sending you an invoice, would be a good feature to have.
