I just used the new editor when pushing through my uploaded images.

The keywords were picked up and appeared in a gray box.  You are able to type in a new keyword or two under the visible keywords appearing in the gray box.  At first everthing seemed cool.  When I pushed the images forward for review, I was told that all images had errors - I had to enter at least 7 keywords.  All of the keywords appearing in the box had to be retyped or copied from my IPTC section of my files and pasted  under the grayed box.  Apparently the uploaded keyword wer rejected, because the commas were dropped. 

Did anyone else have this problem?  How do you get the keywords appearing in the gray box to work or get accepted?

Thanks for any help!

I'm thinkin about getting my bride a new camera, and am wondering if anyone out there has any experience with the Canon SX20 IS?  I am wondering if the 720P HD video function is adequate for video stock clips?  I can't afford the D5 Mark II for a kick around camera.  This puppy goes for about $359 US.

Anyone having trouble passing your images through after uploading?  I uploaded using FTP, and everything worked fine.

When I started passing through the uploaded images (12 total), I was stopped at five and was given a message:
"Due to heavy uploading, submitters are limited to 50 in a 24hour period.."  In addition I was informed that there is an 85 hour backlog in Review.  Wow; DT must be busy!

I have been using Magix Edit Pro 15 Plus.  It does everything great  on Win XP.  It will run on Win 7 - only problem is that you can't burn a DVD in Win 7.  It crashes.  Come to think of it, evry video software I try fails to write a DVD in WIN 7.  I spent 3 days editing something only to find out I couldn't burn the DVD.  I had to redo it on my older computrer with Win XP.

Can someone recommend a good video editing software that actually works with Win 7?  Sony Vegas is too complex and Easy Video failed to write the DVD when I tried it out.

Did 123RF get new reviewers or are they trying to get tougher than iS and SS?

I just uploaded 15 images that had been accepted by SS and IS.  Of the 15 images, only 5 were accepted.  All ten rejected carried the same reason - "Lighting/Composition".    If 123 is going to start that level of quality level, I'm going to call it a day.  I can't believe that SS and IS reviewers don't know good compposition and lighting when they see it.  No wonder newbees find it difficult to get the understanding of what these sites want.

I had an acceptance rating of 85%, but it appears that I should figure on 35-40% in the future.  Guess the rule of thirds isn't the rule here,  When I shoot, I keep the grid turned on to line up my subject so it falls within the rule of thirds.

Might be time to consider just uploading to RM sites.   Only thing is - sales come very sloooooow on those sites.   

Anybody else feel as though they are walking through a mine field?
