Hello,
I have developed an application named "Stock Photo Manager" which assists stock photographers in managing, keywording and uploading photos to stock agencies. In detail the software has the following features:
- Titles, descriptions and keywords can be managed and assigned in several languages (configurable by the user) whereas one agency gets the images with the correctly desired language.
- Priorities can be assigned to keywords so that the keyword list of each image automatically gets a certain order. Of course this order can be manually altered if necessary.
- Further keyword attributes determine whether a keyword should be used for a certain agency or not. This is also possible for each keyword translation.
- Images which are marked for upload will be automatically uploaded to the agencies. During the upload each image gets the correct IPTC data for this certain agency e.g. language, maximum number of keywords and so on.
- If many photos have to be uploaded to several agencies it will be also possible to distribute the images by using a web server. This is especially reasonable in the case of low upload speed because web servers have as a rule much better internet connections with higher speeds. Therefore much time can be saved during the upload process.
- Further information is collected for each image: To which agency has the image been uploaded? When did this happen? Has the image been accepted or rejected? Of course it is also possible to search for this information.
- Sales information is collected and can be searched for.
- Agency data like state changes and sales information can be automatically gathered. This is done by analyzing agency emails or directly parsing the agency web pages. The program can be configured so that it looks for new information on the agency websites in certain time intervals.
- Several statistics can be generated for example about the agency download counts and revenues. This data can be viewed in form of charts.
This application is installed locally and runs under Windows, Mac and Linux/Unix. All the application data is also stored locally on your computer! You can find more information on the webpage of the Stock Photo Manager:

You can also download the application there.
I am offering an affiliate partner program too. More about that can be found here:

Moreover I would like to cooperate with stock agencies to implement direct interfaces for exchanging data. So if anybody reads this and is interested, please write me.
Greetings
