great advice race photo. i completely agree with you about the keywording being the ultimate for search and needs to be truly defined. we typically get a lot of keywords submitted to us like you said and have to whittle it down to what is most appropriate. the apple to red apple is a good example. we have been spending the better part of the last 3 weeks just re-keywording and narrowing down the keywords on our uploaded media objects.

and the ftp upload is coming up. we are feverishly working on that. i know how important it is.

i'm not sure if you saw as well but as a temporary solution we made two upload pages. one for images with IPTC/EXIF data and another for all other files.

thanks

That's much better. Would be nice to see thumbnails of the images we have uploaded with the title and keywords. This is to make sure they have uploaded properly.
