I find the new interface very frustrating. I can see the advantage to being able to select the exact product that you are crediting, but there are several ways that this makes things more complicated as an artist. (I do like the autocomplete, however.)

1. It is very tedious to enter credits for multiple items by the same vendor. It is not uncommon for me to use four or five items from one of my favorties. This is multiplied when the products are by a team.

2. We no longer can comment on items as part of the credit, and instead have to enter the comments as part of the overall image comments, which breaks up the flow.

3. One can't credit just the vendor. This is useful (as an artist) in several cases. First, sometimes, by the time I finish an image, I no longer remember exactly which product I used. (For example, I know that the clothes I used were by H, but I don't remember which product I actually used.) Second, it is impossible to credit a vendor for products from other marketplaces, or for out-of-print products. I realize that a major reason for the credit system is to drive sales, but I would argue that crediting products not available her is not really a loss for the site since a) the viewer may find other products by that vendor that he or she likes, and b) anything that keeps vendors solvent is for the good, especially in this economic times.

From my point of view, I would like the following:

1. A way of selecting multiple vendors at once, or of "cloning" credits from one vendor to another. In particular, I've noticed that many of the vendors who I buy hair from work in teams.

2. A way of selecting multiple products from the same vendor once selects. (So I can select a vendor, then check of several products.)

3. A way of, at the very least, indicating "other" for the product. Being able to type in text would be great.

Thanks

I agree and suggest the same!
