PantherMedia launches its new contributor portal for photographers. It features a brand new image submission system featuring easy administration for portfolios and accounts.

One of the key features of this new system is batch processing which allows the photographer to upload and submit multiple images at the same time. This new batch uploading and editing feature reduces this otherwise tedious task to only one to two minutes for a single image and less than a minute per image for a whole series.

Additionally, PantherMedia introduces new functions to its image management system for easier and faster administration. Contributors can sort and filter images by date, submission and approval status.

Theese are the main new features:

• Batch processing allows the upload and submission of multiple images in one simple step.
• IPTC-import of titles and keywords through HTML- and FTP-upload.
• Less mandatory fields allow a faster upload process.
• Import of all or only selected images from the photographers´ FTP-directory into the contributor portal.
• Upload of up to five images simultaneously per HTML-Upload and unlimited images per FTP.
• New and easier model release and property release management area for editing property and model details (name, age, ethnicity, etc.).
• Many innovative search- and filter functions allow a better management of the portfolio: search for pending, accepted, resubmitted and rejected images.
• Optional presets to enable easy assignment of rights.
• Overview of up to 100 images per page possible, optional with different thumb sizes.
• More support for web browsers of the major operating systems with the look-and-feel of a local application, and a faster performance.
• All main administrative functions on one portal (upload, administration, accounting, payout, statistics, etc.)
