Discoverability

[John Crellin]

I know it's been done to death on the forums but I am amazed this feature hasn't been tweaked just a little.

 

 

Now I have my act together properly it's nice that a whole batch, once it is QCed, goes on sale straight away using the keywords in the EXIF

 

So when I get round to tweaking by marking supertags and adding locations - and crucially flagging those pictures with people / property would it be so hard to have a traffic light colour scheme to guide?

 

Eg enough tags so on sale: Orange (as at present)

 

Supertags: Yellow?

 

People and Property Qs answered: Turqoise

 

The magic numbers of tags I never achieve: Green as at present (so I am told)

 

I have to admit recently I've just been answering the people / property questions where the answer is yes - leaving the rest as undecided as I can't see any gain from the extra effort for the "no" answers.

I'd certainly like some mechanism that indicates when the optional people/property fields have not been completed.

 

I have just worked through a batch of submissions from the recent past and was disturbed to find that I had missed several shots where a people or property tick was needed but not provided. From memory this was not possible in the old system, but the new AIM allows you to avoid completing these fields. I don't know why these fields are optional, it takes little effort to complete them and there is a piece of mind associated with doing just that. 

 

I'm aware that many imported agency images do not comply, is this the reason for the optionality?

I agree. Going straight on sale is nice (but I've never had a sale within a month of upload I think) but I like to feel I have checked them as soon as possible for restrictive aspects.
