Title: Sending DVD
Post by: melastmohican on August 25, 2008, 16:51: I just burned two DVD for sending. I put text file with information they require on one of DVDs. No photos with model releases and all pictures got IPTC metadata. I guess it should be enough for them?

Post by: RT on August 25, 2008, 18:43: Wouldn't it be best if you emailed this question to them?

Post by: leaf on August 26, 2008, 01:01: i hope you have better luck than me. I sent them 3000 pics on dvds and 1000 showed up on the site. perhaps it was my fault with error filled dvds or perhaps the have a glitch in their workflow. Eitherway, hopefully it turns out better for you.

Post by: Perry on August 26, 2008, 02:48: My dvd adventure went well and most of my images turned up on their site. Only thing they emailed about was what I wanted to have as a default price and opt in/out for subs (you may set the default price on their site just to be sure)

Hi melastmohican:

That should be fine.
The only other thing to consider (if you haven't done this already): If you want your images organized into sets (same shoot, same theme or model) then you should organize your images into folders for each set - and make the folder name the set name

Post by: pdtnc on September 24, 2008, 14:18: this gives me a little more incentive to post a DVD, I had sent a support question asking if it was possible to send a DVD of files.... No answer from support so I just gave up.
I later noticed the FAQ states I could send a DVD!

Post by: melastmohican on September 30, 2008, 14:00: At first I made mistake when exporting from LR2 (it put watermark in files by default). I had to re-send pictures but now I got 1/3 third reviewed after 1 week. Surprisingly they are quite efficient so it going to be much less problems than trying to upload. I do not know how long it would take to index cause I got very few views on pictures which are published.
