Software / Lost Adobe Bridge panel to copy and paste metadata
« on: December 02, 2015, 19:26 »
I've lost, after a "format and reinstall", a simple panel in Adobe Bridge.

This panel plug-in copy, paste and save from old to new photos, 3 most important metadata fields: keywords, title and description.

Do you have a link to this panel ?

Thank you in advance !

If i upload boring texture or studio still life, my approval rate is 100% ... But these images don't sell as my landscape ... But reviewers at SS don't know landscape photography natural light condition ... They love only artificial light.

Buyers want images that SS don't approve, and SS want images that buyers don't buy ...

I have two Canon camera full frame: the new 5ds R and a 5d mk III

I shot landscape, architecture and travel photography only on tripod and 50/100 ISO.

I use only prime lens (24 tse II, 16-35 f/4, 24/70 f/2,8, 70-200 f/2,8 ...).

I shot f/5,6 - f/6,3 - f/7,1 to avoid diffraction ...

My monthhly RPI on SS is 0,90-1,00 $ (i have a small portfolio > 1000 images but great quality).

Last years my acceptance rate on SS was 93-96% ...

In 2015 is 60% and this July 20% ... and i'm sure that my 2015 images are better than previous year.

I search in SS new approved images and there is plenty of images much worse than mine ...

Very, very frustrating ...

Sorry for my english ...

132
This morning 100% rejections (4 photos) for Trademark on landscape photography ...

My SS approval rate in 2012-13-14 was 95-97% ... and in the last three months 40%.

MicrostockSubmitter / Re: Loading metadata, waiting time.
« on: December 04, 2013, 07:46 »
Hi Niakris,

i'm not a Software Architecture expert but i think that Bridge uses a Cache folder to store image preview thumbnails.

In Bridge "Preferences" there is an option "Keep 100% previews in cache" and a dedicated folder called "Cache" where are stored all the image thumbnails after the first opening.

I did a test. I open my 1000+ folder in Bridge in 16 seconds and the same folder in Stocksubmitter in 13 minutes.

I hope I was helpful

Thanks, Bauman

Thank you Niakris :)

I have an i7 3770 3,4 Ghz and 16 gb Ram ... but I have SSD hard drive only for applications, not for storage. My folder has 1000+ images ...

Is it possible a loading system similar to Adobe Bridge ?

Thanks again

Bauman

MicrostockSubmitter / Loading metadata, waiting time.
« on: December 01, 2013, 12:42 »
Hi friends,

have you a very long waiting time when Stock Submitter loading metadata ?

Every time I open the program or refresh it, I have to wait several minutes before it's ready.

Is there a solution to this issue ?

Thank you.

DepositPhotos / Re: New editor is not working properly
« on: January 29, 2013, 18:24 »
DP had one of the easiest editors in the stock world, but they have a hit and miss this time. The new editor is seriously not easy to work with. Its buggy and its a step backwards.

its not working properly.

I cant submit files with words that are not recognized by the system. It says the words are misspelled but they arent, but I cannot bypass this warning. I cant submit my images now.

the old editor was working like a charm.

Me too ...

Adobe Stock / Re: Is FT rejecting everything?
« on: January 14, 2013, 12:27 »
My acceptance rate on FT is 86% (80% travel in my port) ... and it is better that my AR in SS (80%) and IS (76%).

Today, strange day ... 13 sales on FT and only 4 on SS (usually it's the opposite).

146
I like your analysis Steve, very comprehensive.

Sorry but I don't help you, i'm a newbie.

Oct 0,78$
Nov 0,59$
Dec 0,65$

Sorry, Fotolia forgets old files after a few months ... bad strategy (IMHO).
