I have a assignment for a fashion shop and asks me to count models and not number of items seen what does. Model mean?

Been a few days, so you've probably found out by now.

You might be shown i.e. polo shirts in different colours which would all count as just one model, but if you are shown a polo and a t-shirt that would be two different models. You could also be shown a slim fit and a regular fit polo shirt, those would actually count as two models as they are different cuts or styles of polo shirts.

OOps, I accepted a job for TNS on the Sassie site, last day to do it is tomorrow, had extra mileage allowed but I've not done any jobs for them for ages and on looking at the instructions, it says they will only accept PDF versions of the photo's/scans you need to do. I've never been asked by any company to do that and haven't a clue how to covert them to PDF so have had to email to say I can't do it. Oh well!!

Load the image in chrome, then go print and change the printer to ' save as pdf'.

If you saw what SASSIE did to photos you'd know why, download and install FoxIT PDF reader, load up your pic and print to the new PDF printer that is installed with FoxIT. If you have a scanner you can scan to PDF directly.

Thanks for the replies.

They've said they will accept it on this occasion with jpegs, perhaps if it messes pics up, I'll email them as well.
I don't have a scanner, I do any scanning I need to at the library but they want the results tonight.
I won't be accepting anymore anyway, it was a right faff. There is one local to me to be done in the next few days but they can keep it thanks!!

Team Driving Force are driving me mad. I would have accepted the low paid assignment weeks ago if I was that desperate, stop emailing me MF.

Seem to be a load of spam from them recently. Its the pub meals in a different county that get me. Who is going to drive 30/40 miles for the fees they offer. Keep hoping there will disappear up their own pipe

They give you instructions in the brief on how to convert jpeg to PDF and also how to merge the photo and document together to make one PDF file. I did it today and it was easy. Believe me, I'm rubbish at anything IT but I managed this. Very proud of myself.

Thanks for your help but I won't be doing anymore, too much faff for not enough money. I rarely do anything for the lower paying companies anyway. I used to do loads of work for them when they had the allocators in the field, that was the hey day though when they did loads of top hotels and pubs. Once they got rid of the local allocators and went onto FFF, they went down hill on the people who took the jobs, the fees and the calibre of jobs. Now, they can't trust the workforce to do the jobs and have to have photos of everything, own fault for trying to cut costs. The local allocators used to know who they were giving jobs to, they knew who would do them and not let them down. Not worth working for now.

Exactly. I sacked them last year, not worth the hassle.
