Title: Trouble uploading
Post by: Allsa on February 12, 2009, 11:26

Am I the only one having trouble uploading to iStock? Images often upload without the file info, so I have to cut and paste from Photoshop ...or the thumbnail for the image isn't generated and you get blank white space instead. This has been going on for at least two weeks, but I haven't seen any complaints in their forums. Is anyone else having problems?

Yes, there is some sort of bug in their upload system. 

Try going to their forums and clicking in any of the threads.  Apparently it sets a cookie in your browser.  Then go back and process your uploads and you will see the IPTC data again.

It worked for me.  Hope it does for you too :)

Use deepmeta (http://www.deepmeta.com) to upload. You don't need to beg for your cookies then on the forum. Lisafx just likes cookies  too much :P
