 The Corbis iView Submission Utility
About the Submission Utility
The iView MediaPro Submission Utility is designed to streamline the submission of photos to Corbis and is only for use by Corbis photographers. If you would like to find out how sign with Corbis, please visit www.corbis.com.
In conjunction with MediaPro, this utility makes it easy to add and edit required metadata and address errors with image properties and/or required metadata before uploading images to Corbis. Image file properties and metadata are validated to the Corbis submission requirements. The utility will then FTP your images to your account on the Corbis servers.
Please note that iView MediaPro is a digital asset management tool and does not convert RAW digital images into other formats. Images should be converted to the appropriate format (TIFF) with a RAW image converter prior to using the submission utility.
Install the Submission Utility & Corbis plug-in

- Double-click the plug-in files with the .emsuplug extension. A dialog will ask which app to use to install the plug-in, simply click OK. This will install the Corbis configuration package.
