CushyStock - Microstock Upload Utility
CushyStock is a microstock upload utility packed full of functionality and features. If you are already a stock photographer, this is an application that will allow you to simplify working with photostocks.
What can it do?
First of all, It can view and manage your digital photos and vector illustrations by categories . You can use default categories, edit them or create your own. Each category may contain specific keywords. This feature will allow you to automatically add these keywords to any photo from this category. Of course, each photo may be assigned to several categories. The process of adding a photo to the selected category is extremely simple - just drag and drop it (see video).
You can also make any changes to keywords when working with your photos - all changes will be automatically saved in IPTC tag. Any other information about photo is also easily edited. You will have access to EXIF, XMP and IPTC data. One of the most interesting features of the software is an opportunity of automatic keyword selection and generation.
The application will allow you to copy, move and rename files. There is a keyword synchronization mode where you will have an opportunity to add all missing keywords to a photo from another similar one.
You can add one or several model releases to each of your photos. They may be automatically added to photostock sites together with a photo. Yes, you are not mistaken - this application will allow you to automatically and simultaneously upload files to majority of photostocks! At that it keeps all records and statistics, both in automated and semi-automated modes. You will always know what photo, when and to what photostock was uploaded, what status it has in each photostock.
The data may be presented from different angles. You can see what statuses a photo has on any photostock . You can see what photos were uploaded to a certain photostock; at that photos will be grouped by the status. You will always have the newest information about your photos at hand without any effort!
The software won’t allow you to upload a file to the same photostock twice by mistake. You will be always informed about your photos statistics on any of photostocks. The application supports RAW format for the majority of digital photo cameras. Your file data won’t be lost even if you move the file to another folder or rename it - the software will immediately “recognize” it and provide you with the full information about it. You won’t have to download, set up or configure additional applications for working with databases or graphics. All this possibilities are already realized in the software, and it takes only several megabytes of disk space!
