Photobanks sell stock images, and they sell them well. Photographers shoot images, edit them and upload them to photobanks. No problem here.

However, there is a bottleneck in between. Every, and I mean EVERY photobank has an additional step that you have do "by hand" after the picture was uploaded. You have to go to the image's web page (at photobank web site), to verify all the information, to check the "yes, I agree" field, and to click "submit".

If you have many images to upload, it takes a lot of time.

To automate this task, as well as to have a fast and convenient way of editing images' meta info, I have created this solution.

Currently, only Fotolia, Crestock and DreamsTime are supported, I am working on adding more.
Script is free: photo-script.livejournal.com/667.html

New version is available. Added support for DreamsTime.

V 5 available. Crestock support added.

Added FTP uploading. Now you can use the script to:

1. Scan directory with imeges, extract meta information
2. Edit meta information
3. Upload files to photobanks using FTP
4. Access images at photobank's pages, edit image info (keywords, categories...), and autosubmit them to photobank's editors.
