Title: Thinkstock Transfers
Post by: Monty-m-gue on December 03, 2012, 14:34
Hi,

I'm Istock non-exclusive. Approx 3/5th of my istock portfolio has been transfered across to Thinkstock and Photo.com. My most recent uploads to Istock appear to transfer across immediately they are approved at Istock. However, that still leaves 2/5th of my portfolio having 'missed the boat'.

Is this a common experience? Is there anything I can easily do to have the abandoned 2/5th moved over...?

I'm getting closer to having my whole portfolio at Thinkstock/photos.com, but not there yet. And no, I don't think there is anything you can do to speed things up. They run the "connector" some weekends - I had about 400 move over a week or so ago after several weeks of no activity - with no clear pattern I can see. The same thing appears to happen for the exclusives who are waiting for their E+ files to move to Getty Images. Slow and intermittent progress.

I've also noticed a more rapid transfer.  New iStock approvals popup in TS almost immediately.  Was wondering if beating them to the punch and tagging new images P+ would have any effect ie: keep them from moving?
