I just upload pic on iStock (cattle) and after 5 mins of choosing keywords directions for "disamagngle grrrrrrr" process an after submit I have message:
You cannot enter more than 50 unique keywords (single words or phrases)
And all my keywords are DISAPEAR?!?!
Nice "friendly to use, user friendly??? Wo do that for you learning??? We teach you??? and etc
Blah
iStock allways accented that they do for our knowlage or that this kind of crap is process of learning???
PUKE......
Now this mean that I must spend another 5 mins to limit my keywords and maybe after that again have "THAT educational" mesagge from iStock for dummies learning team again and fck my self like dog around the tree?!?
Thank you iStock I just learn that you are not user friendly and you allways try to fuck up you submitters on any way and steal from them 80% of income and fuck them for they 20% anyhow.
What a stupid assholes...........

Suljo,

I have a similar experience with IS. As it doesn't read my keywords anyway, now I only put a few keywords, don't even disambiguate them, and save. Then I go back to include all keywords and disambiguate. As I have to enter all fields manually, in my case an error is even worse, because title and description also disappear.

Just a note: I don't understand why you always have to mention this "iStock" joke.

Regards,
Adelaide

I know evolution from bacteria to human is long process, but small things make people happy, but from iStock I dont expect nothing, even worse than before.
I cross over from that that they even more dont support ITPC or EXIF data because they make they system complicated even worse than Windows by themselves. They loose to much energy to fuck up with everybody in they chain list wich generate more and more unsatisfied users.
I understand that some people think that they understand and love complicated things but this is offull.
Just no make sense and any kind of taste.
Sorry if I am so rude but I am sereously disapointed with them.
I am the first for some kind of standardization but they are most unpredictable of other BIG 4 or 6 in acceptance process.
I just dont even think what they are think that they are. I Just send them by innertion in the same time just to see new stupidnes of rejecton or othervise why the accept something.
Just for fun
Sorry on my bad English, hope you understand.
I wrote my last post because I was angry of non user friendly interface.
After few months was story that trere is some kind of Glitch in syste so they dont support ITPC data.
They dont fix that jet and even worse make this thing from my first post.
Very unprofesional from company which are trying to be No 1.
No1 for Fcking submiters?!?

It's interesting how different people have such different experiences and opinions.

Some of my positive feelings towards iStock are probably due to the fact that they have always been my #1 earner. But I also enjoy the online community there (well, most of it), and I actually believe their reviews are among the most consistent of any of the Big 6. That doesn't mean I don't get rejections I disagree with; I most certainly do. But far fewer than the two currently in my doghouse, Fotolia & Dreamstime.

As for the uploading process, I love it.

But maybe that's because I've been using DeepMeta for over a year. Man, what a wonderful program. Anyone who doesn't like iStock's uploading process (which would be about everyone, I'd think) should be using DeepMeta, IMO.

Yes, it's a bug that if you mess up while adding meta data, like over 50 keywords, or duplicate keywords, everything disappears.

Keywording is pain enough with DeepMeta. I can't see why anyone would bother with uploading using the website unless not using a PC. I only did it the very first day I was approved on IStock and that convinced me very fast I needed to look for another solution

Dario, I hope you feel better now. And when you cooled down, download and use deepmeta for uploading to Istockphoto without getting a tantrum

sharpshot · « **Reply #7 on:** March 30, 2009, 02:48 »

They reject for inappropriate keywords and that is more likely with 50 of them. I was annoyed when all my keywords disappeared but now I think it is a good thing. It takes me 30 seconds to enter the minimum 5 keywords and I never get a rejection for inappropriate ones. I only have to add more if the image is accepted. I hope this bug never gets fixed

ProStockPhoto works like a charm on a Mac

Uploading to IS is like living with an ingrown toenail. I get the disappearing keywords all the time for various undetermined reasons. That coupled with IS not reading my keyword data from my file is just plain inexcusable contributor relations. There's even a goofy thing going on with the categories disappearing sometimes.

If they didn't make me more money than the others they'd be just an unpleasant memory -- sort of like Lucky Oliver who at least got the uploading right.

I produce so few images that I don't think it's worth to have a software only for that. It's just a copy and paste in the end, no big deal.
