Why uploading vectors are so complicated in iStock.... I have to upload vectors one by one and have to manually insert metatags... It takes lot of time...
Is there any other way of uploading or I am lacking something..??

Hey CGartist!

I use DeepMeta (http://www.deepmeta.com/) for my vector uploads on iStockPhoto.

It's not perfect, but it makes things a lot easier as I'm able to copy descriptions and keywords, save work-in-progress stuff and much more.

It's not very well optimized for vector uploads though. (in fact, you'll notice that it says that it does NOT support vector uploads) As such, I have to upload everything via the usual route first, and then edit their information via DeepMeta. I then complete the submission via the iStock website, and then re-update the keywords/descriptions. It's a little cumbersome, but it's better than nothing... especially when you're uploading 20-30 vectors at one shot -- every little bit of help counts!

Hope this helps!

Thankyou David,

I never thought that I could use deepmeta for vectors as when I went to the website.. it clearly said. "Vector/Flash/Video/Audio contributors cannot (yet) upload through the software, but can nevertheless use all other features."

so never tried this.
But now I will be trying it out and see how it goes. I hope that this reduces time consumption.
