Bulk upload

Bulk upload puts a folder of photographs into one collection. Each photograph joins the collection and is set up for sale the way the collection’s profile says.

Steps

1. Make a profile first, if you have none: open Products, then the Profiles tab. See Profiles.
2. Open Photographs and press Bulk upload into a collection, or open the Collections tab.
3. Open the collection and press Bulk upload.
4. If the collection has no profile yet, choose one under Choose how these will be sold and press Use this profile. It becomes the collection’s profile for bulk uploads. If it has one, the page says Sold as and its name; Sell them another way lets you change it.
5. Drop a folder of photographs, or press Choose a folder or Choose photographs.
6. Keep the page open until your photographs have been sent.
7. Press See how they are being set up to open the upload review.

The upload review

• Each photograph shows Live, Duplicate — added to collection or Needs attention, with the reason. Live means it is on sale on your website, once STIL LAB has accepted your account and your website is published.
• You can change a photograph’s title there. It is saved when you leave the box.
• Retry sets up one photograph that needs attention again; Retry all does every one.
• A duplicate that is not for sale yet offers Also sell with this profile.

Good to know

• Files are JPEG, PNG or TIFF, up to 1.5 GB each. Other files in the folder are left out, and the page says how many.
• A photograph you already have is not added twice. It joins the collection and shows as a duplicate.
• If an upload stops half-way, the page says how many were sent. Drop the same folder again to continue.
• You can change a collection’s profile on the Collections tab, under Bulk uploads are sold as.
