I have a PC so i guess it works for both...
Imatch basically lets you assign as many images you like into different categories, then using a script, converts these category names into ITPC keywords at a click of a button. No typing, just mouse clicking...
What is also very cool, you have on hand every image you assign, in categories, so if you need "for example" a shot of a seagull, you would simply go into animals->birds->seagulls and there would be all your shots.

ohh that sounds good, I have never used scripts with imatch.. perhaps i should check it out a little more.
I have justgone into the keyword section of the image (or group of images) and typed the keywords in, that i wanted to add.
on a sidenote.
Looks like you are getting a good number of images in at dreamstime there melking. almost on the 'top contributers' list. That is on of my goals for the new year.. to be on there (and manage it fairly soon). i have been creeping up slowly for a while now :)

| I recently joined both istockphoto and shutterstock and I know that I saw somewhere that architechture was a touchy area because of intellectual property but what about non specific images such as fences, buildings in the background, etc |

| How do you know what to shoot for stock photography? Anyone have any good links to a "Stock Photography 101" guide or something? |

I know that a few of the stock sites provide lists of what they do and do not need/accept. BigStockPhoto is very specific with what they're looking for, and istock is pretty clear about what they DON'T want. This helps point photogs in the right direction, at least.

interesting question --
but the answer is very 'Zen'
best items to shoot are things that others have not
images that sell are new perspective of old items
its' hard for other people to prime your imagination |

"Photos that Sell" Lee Frost. You can buy at amazon, I've read twice. A lot of his info is available on line but the book is worth it.

yes, and I agree with ralphnev, don't just take Frost's examples and duplicate. Look at all the top sites and you'll see that has been done to infinity. However, I think the book is helpful to get the creative juices flowing.

D'oh! I just bought 4 books on amazon today and that wasn't one of 'em (though I saw that one). 2 were on lighting and 2 were on selling. I got...

I think Frost's book is the definitive book. The annual Photographer's Market is highly recommended, though it's not the how to that Frosts is. I haven't bought it yet but the 2006 version is on my wish list.

I agree about Lee Frost's book. It gives you a really practical overview of the concept of stock photography.
I'd highly recommend it :)

Does anyone do Micro and Macro? How do you handle licencing at the Macro sites? Just not put the same images in the micro sites? Or set your licencing to RF on the Macro sites?
If you split photos between Macro and Micro sites, how do you decide which goes where?
I was all set to send off a test CD to Alamy, but now I'm having doubts about going to something like Fotolia.
What to do, what to do...
