Man, the last two weeks have been rough at SS for me. Everything I have tried to get in my portfolio has been kicked back at me and for stuff I feel like has not changed. Recently I am hearing that my images are out of focus and I know they are not. I check them close at 100% but still they are kicking my butt on this.

Anyone else seeing this? SS is the only place I have sold much lately so it is discouraging, to say the least.

Can someone fill me in on the issue with this site? I found a few images of mine up there and assume they are a partner or something?

You can read the (long) thread with the details - Deposit Photos partnered with Shotshop. Contributors got a subscription sale royalty on high price credit sales of their images. Lots of foot dragging, excuses and nonsense to get images removed and now they're back again.

Thank You. I am going to go read that thread.

I use Lightroom, but I don't get this issue. How do the synonyms get in there in the first place - do you have a controlled vocabulary set of keywords loaded? There is a setting in export to ignore synonyms, but I have it unchecked.

At some point when I updated I got a list of keywords in there that were not there in previous versions. I am blaming Adobe because it is the easy thing to do but honestly, I am not sure how they got there. This started with version 5.3 as far as I can tell.

For all the lightroom users here, has anyone found a way to shut off the exporting synonyms when exporting keywords in Lightroom 5? This thing is driving me nuts. It did not used to do this but since I updated the other day, it is now adding what it thinks are appropriate synonyms to the keywords when I export images.

I guess the other option is to export without keywords and use something else to keyword my images but dang, this is adding too much time to the workflow.

This is not a new complaint when the subject of Lightroom comes up. I have been using it since 1.0 was released and it has slowed as they have added features but it seems to be more of a problem on PC's running Windows 7 or above. I am going to Mac in a few weeks and am hoping that Lightroom will run better on it (I am told it will be much better). Some days mine gets so bad that I have to shut down the computer and restart to clear out all the memory that is clogged with LR functions.

It is what it is I guess. Great software that runs slow or okay software that runs faster. Ah the choices.....
