So, 20 of my E+s have made it to Getty, not one since last Sunday (4th).
One of them has no keywords, which I see is some sort of bug.
But one has keywords, but some vital ones from my iStock keywords are missing. This looks deliberate, not a bug, but I'm really unhappy about it.
My iStock keywords:
Bird, Animals Feeding, Siskin, Eurasian Siskin, Lesser Redpoll, Redpoll, Finch, Two Animals, Passerine, Bird Feeder, Perching, Animals In The Wild, Wildlife, Nature, Selective Focus, Scotland, UK, Europe, Male Animal, Color Image, Photography, Horizontal, Nobody, Food, Seed, Sunflower Seed, Sunflower Hearts, Gripping
Getty keywords:
Food, Nature, Wildlife, Horizontal, Focus, Differential Focus, Europe, Feeding, UK, Scotland, Animals In The Wild, Bird, Finch, Seed, Perching, Colour Image, Gripping, Bird Feeder, Two Animals, No People, Male Animal, Photography, Redpoll, Sunflower Seed, Songbird.
Why on earth would they take out one of the two species completely, and only leave a generic Redpoll and take out the actual species name, Lesser Redpoll? 'Passerine' is far more correct than 'songbird' as a generic.
I think they're trying to tell me/us something.
E+ are mostly lost in the best match on iStock, and they take useful keywords out of the keywords at Getty.
I'm still banned from iStock forums and SM. Is there any way I can contact Getty directly about the expunged keywords?
Many other files also have the species name taken out of the keywords. Luckily, the titles seem to be searchable on Getty (?), but it still seems a bit odd.
