is it still running ? in the Discussions page it seems to be frozen since 18 months.

yes it has started again. This time one can submit images for getty/flickr curators after every 2 months.
ps- i really hate flickr. People come to just steal images there. Though they can steal from other sites too but dont know why they steal my flickr/getty images most. Watermark, disabled right click save or any other protection can not save images from thieves. If I upload images for just 1 day and then next day i find them in everywhere in the internet whether personal or commercial websites,blogs etc. Over to all, getty/flickr has worst contributor support. Hardly reply any mail. I personally stopped uploading images there.

I really cant stop expressing my frustration.. what . is going on with istock curators.. do you see they are accepting not just 1 or 2 or 5 but 10-15 similar ... not even similar but exact copies of images from same contributors and that too from a single batch... I just see a newbie's port and his recently accepted images are- 20 images of isolated tomatoes.. 1 tomato, 2 tomatoes- white background, 2 tomatoes- blue background, 3 tomatoes ....... and .....
when i joined IS, they were not accepting the images which are now best sellers for me in ss .. shame.

Bridge saves them in the order you typed them as well.

you mean adobe bridge ?

Ok Cascoly.. I will try it and post here.. how i feel about it.
Thank you. Thanks to packerguy too.

got it. But it seems that it does not over-write the new keywords rather keeps the same IPTC as earlier. though it can enter new IPTC onto a blank new image.. any bug !

Try IrfanView.  This is what I use now that prostockmaster is no longer free.

Does it save keywords in their priority order as per photographer's liking ?
ps- i heard that it works with one image at a time ?
Would like to know about some more options. How is iTag ?

ok. Thanks Paulie

I have some doubts regarding how payment is done and commissions are taken by photoshelter. I opened my basic account there few months ago. and i got some  sales last month and paid all money immediately through paypal. Then last night i noticed that some money from my credit card were paid to photoshelter. I enquired to my bank and they said that these money were paid to photoshelter for your purchase but i had not bought anything from PS so i mailed photoshelter and they said these are the commission cuts for the sales you got last month.. its bit strange for me as i normally have to enter my CVV number and other security options for making any payment from my credit cards. More over i was paid from photoshelter through my paypal but commissions were taken from credit card after a month. These were my 1st sales from photoshelter so i have no experience with them. Can anybody please tell me if this is normal for photoshelter payment ? Do they (PS) save our credit card essentials ? The other stock sites and POD sites generally take their commission 1st and then pay remaining amount...

BMY, because of 2 sales in FAA which were around 200$ each. 1 sale in Alamy at the end of month for 83$ (net to me, gross = 166$), 2 sales in photoshelter, however just small websize images for 28$ each. SS earning was mainly because of video.. rest all micro gave micro earnings.. but ok for my small port.

Hmm seems to be typo according to Kelvinjay-

"Good morning one and all,

This isn't something I've been briefed on, so I'll leave it to someone at HQ to explain why those particular figures are being shown, but it does strike me as rather odd that the Vetta rates and regular photo rates are exactly the same, which would incline me to think it's a simple copy & paste error, but I'm sure Lobo will be able to offer an official explanation shortly."

Really. I could not believe until i saw the new vista images myself. So Many sister images.. In fact not only sister but twins/triplets/quadruplets.. lolz i thought now they are accepting series of similar images in their Main collection after increasing the limit to 999 but also in Vista ...??

ps.. also series of Grasses in vista ?? heck... are the curators favoring certain photographers ?

Ok that they have lowered the criteria for their selection but why they are accepting the whole series from the same shoot.. this will badly affect those who have a habit of sending selected 1-2 images only from a single shoot. I used to learn from the rejection from IS. Probably IS has acquired some buyers / curators from alamy. In fact alamy also accepts technically correct images..
are they going to keep those images in Main ? or image bin... dustbin or whatever

Ok guys. Here Lobo says here-
"For the time being almost all non exclusive files have been placed in Main, including all files that were in Plus. The initial approach is focusing on better placement of our exclusive material."
So we non ex still can expect that our P+ may eventually go to Signature collection
