Hello Mat, for me it works.

ADDITIONNAL KEYWORDS
I have keyword in the images and the update does offer me addiotional ones on top of what I already had that makes sense (my area of activity being nature close up photography). Also there are other keywords in the list that do not make sense , but that is not an issue ... I just don't choose/pick them.
Also takes me less time to 'push through' the image for approval

PRIORITIZING KEYWORDS ?
Unless I mssed soemthing it does not seem to be necessary to prioritize the keywords anymore ? As I do not immediatelly see how to eventually push forward specific keywords. I left them in the order they are.

SHORT : for me it adds correct hints to extra keywords and takes me less time to uplaod ... so nice update indeed !

@Jo Ann Snover : I like your images ;-)

So far, I have been pretty happy with them , especially when it concerns SS. Being active in nature photography I do not expect high returns as my (macro/closeup) images are quite specific targetting a specific audience... but still they sell as much images as I do , however - and certainly now with the resetting of the levels - the return price per image is much higher then the usual 10c I tend to get for my shots. I did however choose to add my own keywords to the images (so not using easy submission anymore).
Payments have been happening correctly up til now and response times by support desk are good . Have to say that when submitting images through easy submission that took some time before the images were processed , but now with the own keywords it is quite fast.

hai,

I am new, just joined the (interesting) group. Have been photographing for over 20 years and just started last year to also upload my pictures to microstock agencies. It's been a discovery with up's and downs and by now I am already aware that it will take some years to earn me that million ;-) ... bu still apart from my shattered dreams I also have a question :

I have been trying out and using various software packages for image-processing (adobe, lightroom, topaze) , uploading to stock and tracking sales of the stock.This question goes over the latter , as I have just started first with uploading images to the larger ones and step by step found other agencies to upload to it is not that easy to see which image (from my long archive files) has already been entered and also through which agencies. In order to prevent me from having to keep track of this by myself , is there any software package that does not only show you the images which have sold , but also shows you which images have been uploaded ? Then so I could easily adjust where they are missing ... Currently (depending on the agency) I have form 900 to 4.300 images online almost exclusively nature close-up's.

Currently I use Microstockr, which gives me a good view on the sales, but only one sales and not on the far more numerous 'no sales' ( Nature photography is not one of the hot items again ... ;-), but it's what I like to do)

In the beginning I have also tried out Stock performer and thought they gave such an overview  (is this correct ?) ... but as I did this in the first month after starting (not a good timing on my side ) there was not yet much to see by then... and now I can not try it out anymore without paying first

Stock submitter also gives a good view per image . It may be an old style looking uploader but does give me that overview of what is uploaded where and other well hidden tips and traps for both uploading and keywording the files (unless you start to mess with the directoires and files names on your computer). However I only started using that the last month and miss the view from the prior files ...
 
So after this long introduction : Are there other tools to try/use out that I may not be aware about that helps (lazy) me on having the overview ... or am I just dreaming too much ? Does stock performer give such an overview ?     

Thanks for your/any feedback ... or tips
