Ok I just uploaded a few with ftp. @Freedome, AFTER you have uploaded them go to "My Panther" then "My Images" and then to "Image Upload (FTP)".
Then you can edit your images. But yes, I just tried and noticed the same problem as Clivia and ason, images somehow have a problem getting saved. Like a week ago it worked well for me. I hope this is only temporary and they will solve the problem soon.

Under german photographers they are called "Pannenmedia" that means literally translated "breakdownmedia"

Every week they have a new problem, the servers are the slowest in the whole industry, and the upload system is as worse as istocks

Yes the they have sales from time to time but in the international market i don't see a bright future for them they are light-years behind the international competion

Out of their Agreement for submitters:

"You will receive a 50% share of the sales of your images via PantherMedia or 30% if you are also offering the images at cheaper stock image agencies."

So if you upload to ShutterStock, PantherMedia gets an extra bonus of 20% on your image. Where is the logic? I can imagine they give a bonus on exclusive images, or they price images also on "cheaper" agencies lower. But as it seems now, they just want to chastise photogs that are evil enough to upload to "cheap" agencies.

They don't sell vector as EPS?
Anybody knows they have plans to change this?

Freezing, appreciate your comments. I had done what you said, but none of my ftp photos showed up anywhere.

Also the thumbnails of some web uploaded photos are not showing up either. I don't know if I need to re-upload or just wait.

I have the same problem with FTP. I have to "save" the images twice in the "ftp uploaded section" to get to the next one, and then I get one working and one not working image.....really annoying. I uploaded 1000+ images. Don't want to have to do it all over again.

was wondering if anyone else had this problem-I keyword in photoshop, and it saves as semicolons. Then when I upload to Panthermedia it only accepts commas, so I have to delete all my semicolons by hand and replace them with commas. I can't be the only one with this problem, as I am sure others keyword in PS? Anyway, that is a HUGE pain if I am going to have to do that with thousands of images I think I am screwed.

My photoshop keywords upload fine here. Why do they review so slow? It's been like coming on 2 weeks already...I only had one images reviewed out of 16

They have probably been swamped by all of us trying to get our portfolios on there. My first reviews were all in about 7 days but it has slowed down now.
