Stock photography workflow checklist: what to check before every upload
A repeatable checklist helps contributors catch weak images, missing metadata, irrelevant keywords, duplicate files, and platform-specific issues before publishing.
Upload errors appear late without a checklist
Contributors often find missing captions, weak keywords, or duplicate images only after the upload process has already started.
Lookflow makes the checklist part of the workflow
The beta workflow guides contributors through batch selection, metadata, AI keyword drafts, duplicate checks, and publishing preparation.
