Photoshelter

wordplanet,
The whole caption/title/heading/description thing - yikes! - Each time I think I totally figured it out, I find out I'm totally wrong.
I don't see where info I put in description shows up ever/anywhere, except when I'm look at the ITPC box I've entered it in.
Then I realize if I go (in admin) to Gallery and enter info in Caption, it will show up next to image online as expected/hoped. That's good step forward.
So then I put most of the info in the captions, but the Slideshow captions become a mess because there's too much info to fit in across the top line & text overlapped.
From the main online gallery (the one that had dozens of photos) I ended up removing all but 4, and I'll continue to work on getting info the way I want & expect to see it more consistently.
I hope at least some of this is making sense. smiles - Ann
P.S. I just tweaked the site, and changed URL to my name with hyphen between the words:
firstname-lastname.com

i saw photoshelter is paid monthly, how is it different to something like ktools that you paid one time fee? i think ktools is a software that you install on your host?
how about photoshelter? if one day i decide to leave photoshelter..will i be able to 'transfer' the site to my own host?

I'm not familiar with ktools, but it sounds Very different from photoshelter. Photoshelter Pro is generally similar to Smugmug Pro, for example.
I paid for a year, for bigger discount; plus, I figured it was unlikely I'd put time in to set up my site, learn the ins and outs, and then leave in a few months to start somewhere else from scratch.
The fee covers a certain amount of storage (maybe 30 GB; can't check now), and over that you pay an extra charge each month. I like that you can upload jpgs, tiff, Raw.
You can use a website address created through photoshelter, or use your own domain name.
There are preset (customizable to a point) themes or you can set up site from scratch. I use one of their themes, and one of these days I should make use of the two blank pages they include to do whatever with. I like how the wordpress integration for blog lets you include your photoshelter photos without actually having to upload/resize them for blog.
Don't think you'd be able to take your site with you, if/when you leave, especially if you use one of their themes.
You can try it for one month for one dollar. (PM me, if you wish, to see my site, which wasn't too hard to set up.) Ann

have you guys check out photodeck?
I will try photoshelter maybe once my images are ready..
I am looking forward to set up a page just to sell some RM images, since there are some images are just not for microstock rf..
there are many users using ktools..it is like one time payments $250, i am not sure how easy to set it up..and i am not sure if it supports RM license well.
I want to have an options to get other contributors if i want to bigger library..i saw photoshelter had an option for multi user which is $250 per month..
and it seems photodeck also support multi user, but i am not sure how much.
