Author Topic: Using DT app to bypass selecting categories on Dreamstime? Useful or bad idea? (Read 5173 times)

My husband just discovered he can submit images through DT's iPad app. When he does so, he doesn't have to select categories! This is an amazing discovery as it could save SO MUCH TIME. Is there a real downside to this? The images wouldn't have categories but would have keywords obviously.

Any thoughts on this?

I have a grease monkey script that reselects the same category and models from page to page.

I did that for awhile and they send me couple of "warning" emails that my images don't have the categories ..
Now I don't submit all the pictures to them, I don't have much sales there compared to other "top" agencies.

Thanks--this is the kind of thing I was hoping we'd hear about before we went too far down this route.

For better or worse, we don't submit our similar images together and instead spread them out over time. So the script is brilliant but maybe not a good solution for us.

Thanks for the thoughts!
