WHOA!? If you’ve read NiltoMil for any longer than 1 day you already know I’m all about speed, workflow and making things simple for us, especially across the smaller sites where it’s not necessarily worth our while to upload unless it’s dead easy.? Well I have had the opportunity to try Canstock‘s new bulk upload tool and I’m impressed!

According to Duncan, who is obviously still running things over at CSP after their buyout by Fotosearch, the main benefits of the bulk upload tool include:

• You do not need to categorize images; they will do that for you
• Model releases can be applied in a batch, with a page of 100 images at a time
• Added the ability to?upload a photo of each model, for quick identification when selecting releases
• Images can be submitted a page at a time, instead of one at a time
• The interface is faster than ever

According to Matt, me, I had 1400 images backlogged from Canstock because I wasn’t uploading over the last few months.? I uploaded them all one day accidentally forgetting that I had 7 days to get them done.? Canstock came to the rescue by letting me use this bulk tool to finish.? In the first 5 days I’d managed to finish about 400 images in 6 hours.? Once I started using the bulk tool I finished just over 1000 images in 90 minutes!

The bulk uploader is still in beta, but you can activate it on your account in the meantime by going to http://www.canstockphoto.com/beta/

Why am I uploading to? Canstock?? Sales have been crazy-good.? Wait for the end of month but I’ve sold more this month than in the last 6 months put together.? Add in the new $19.80 Fotosearch Sales (which I’m still waiting for …) and it makes sense.? If you bother to upload to anyone after the top 6 you should now include Canstock Photo again.
