Title: Uploading to iStock on Windows PC?
Post by: Redneck on April 29, 2011, 09:47

Hello,
I'm new to micro stock and even newer to the forum so please excuse when I ask stupid questions.
Anyway, I got accepted as iStockPhoto contributor a couple of days ago. However uploading seems to be such a pain. When I use their web interface it will let me upload only one file at a time. I tried DeepMeta but this tool won't read the IPTC keywords of my files.
I'm on a Windows Vista PC btw. Is there any way to make the whole process of uploading a little more convenient and less time consuming?
How do you guys upload your files to iStock?

Photoshop CS5. It does read the title but not the keywords. All other micro stock sites, even iStockPhoto, can read the keywords of my files.

If you're using CS5 or Lightroom DM will read the keyword data. If your having a problem you may wish to ask this question over here.

+1  DeepMeta is definitely the way to go.
