Title: Usability of keywording programs?
Post by: Scyth on March 22, 2013, 04:55

Hi everybody!
Finally I got my own testing images online and now I know roughly what the uploadprocess will look like. Actually... I don't like it. The reason is the keywording. At the moment I use ProStockMaster. Unfortunatley the keywording delivered by PSM is only effective with depositphotos. Shutterstock and Fotolia won't accept the keywording. Before I upload a whole bunch of photos I'd like to optimize this workflow to minimize my keywording and uploading hours. What can I do? Is there a program, that delivers better and more accepted keywords?
Thank you for your answers in advance!
Andreas

Lightroom - works great for me for all the sites I submit to.

There is a separate thread that recently discussed this:

Why is the keywording delivered by PSM only effective with depositphotos? Am i missing something?

Good question, when it works, it's fine with every place I ever submitted? You do need to save the words, so it removes that leading space.

Of course, I can't get it to find any keywords and just get that error message "no matching words" lets see, what's complicated about Tin, Can, Food"

Is PSM dead and gone? The keyword part seems to be broken for months now. Or, is that just me? ??? Says update, and that gets a failed 404 error?

I'm looking for something that creates keywords, not the editor, I have a number of ways to enter and edit, I need the suggestions utility.
