Title: Resubmitting editorial images using DeepMeta
Post by: hairybiker777 on March 11, 2014, 20:56
G'day folks,

Please can someone explain the best way to resubmit caption changes to editorial images using DeepMeta? I had a bunch rejected for incorrect use of uppercase in the caption, and DeepMeta won't let me change the caption... it says the caption can only be changed on images that haven't yet been uploaded.

I'm not sure whether I should add the same JPEGs to DeepMeta again, or if there's a better way to approach this problem. I imagine that I should add them again and use copy / paste to rows to copy the category information etc over from the rejected images to the new batch before sending them up again.

I took a look at doing it directly on the iStock website using their resubmit option, but it seems that I lose all the category information if I do it that way, as well as any tags that I fixed up in DeepMeta.

TIA
Nick

The official line was you are not supposed to use DM for any resubmital, editorial or not.

But I think the days of anyone caring about that are long over, so the thing to do is just load a new copy of the file in DM, then <ctrl>C <ctrl>V the old file's contents into the new file, edit the new file, and then just send it as a new upload.
