Do you mean scenelinestudios from Germany ? They make there living from Groupon deals for like 19.99 Euro per photoshoot where the customer gets 1 crappy looking image not even retouched, the rest cost extra.

no, it wasn't them

Would anybody be prepared to share and advice on a good system for cataloguing final finished Jpeg�s after they have been uploaded to agencies?

My original RAW files and �works in progress� are accessed and catalogued in Lightroom.
Once my files have been processed and exported, they go to a �ready for upload� folder, usually labelled by month/year and probably subject/shoot name.

However, after these files have been sent out to the agencies, is there a best practice method for storing / cataloguing these finished files?

I�m thinking maybe in the future, I might want all files that are �agency ready� to all be in one big folder? Then say, if a new agency comes along, I can easily just throw the whole folder at them!

This would obviously require that all file names are totally unique (mine are not at present � they probably should be!) and I was thinking whether I should update original file names with a date suffix for �original upload / published date�?

And would this 'date published' info be of any relevance or importance in the future?

Trying to sort my life out (again) � any help much appreciated.

Thx

I also thought I had finished with the Tax interview (several times), but keep receiving same email. So what is a TIN and where do I get one, in the UK? Haven't had this issue with any of the other sites.

Personally, I clean my own because I get dust spots all the time and I shoot a lot at small apertures and cleaning charges are expensive. There is much 'fear' banded about regarding doing your own sensor cleaning, however, thorough research and yes, serious caution is required. I hesitate to recommend it, because whilst it's not actually rocket science, mistakes can be very expensive. Initial outlay on cleaning kit is also significant.

Ron .... That's exactly what dust or similar on sensor looks like. Only shows up at small apertures. Can be hard to see with out the right gear. I have a magnifying loop thing with built in LED lights, even then can be hard to see sometimes.

Anybody in the UK (London) seeing this new button?

I'm not.

Could it be OS or browser dependant maybe?

Whoops ... found it.

Right click - Copy / Paste

Thanks Copidosoma, but the drop down menu next to my Licence Type is greyed out and unavailable.

This seems to be the case with all my accepted images, whether RM or RF.

Thanks for the comments.

I've just noticed a few images in my Dreamstime port that don't have a MR attached.
(Not sure how this happened, maybe my fault at upload, I don't know).
Anybody know how I can attach one?
When you go into Edit I can't see any option to add a release.

Puzzling also, that the images are for sale as RF, but without a release?

Thanks

A couple of years ago I created my Model Release template.
I think I probably took the text/format etc from iStock and/or maybe from Yuri�s website (I think they were the same).

This template did not include any specific shoot date or description information.
It also didn�t include the Models date of birth.

I have used this MR ever since and it has never been queried or declined by any of the agencies I have been uploading to (SS, FT, DT, BS, CS + others).

After much moral/ethical dilemma and soul searching; financial pressures have forced me into finally giving up my resistance and I�ve decided to give iStockphoto a go.

However, with my first upload the reviewers are telling me that the model release is missing that above information (dates and description etc)

Was this a change in policy at some point?
I can see that the current iStock MR template does contains this information now, but I�m fairly certain it did not a couple of years ago.

Can I add this information to my existing and already signed models releases?
