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 ! 241

Shutterstock.com / Re: Shutterstock Approval Frustrations« on: July 22, 2015, 07:09 »
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 ... 245
Shutterstock.com / Re: Shutterstock Approval Frustrations« on: July 22, 2015, 06:47 »
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 ... 246

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 250
MicrostockSubmitter / Re: Loading metadata, waiting time.« on: December 03, 2013, 17:26 »
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 |
