MicrostockGroup

Starting today, iStock contributors will be able view your approval percentages, right from the comfort of your upload page.
Go take a look, folks.

77% for me but I am more careful with them than most sites.  Don't want to go through that upload process for nothing.

79% for me. I probably should be happy with that but I've never been a C student, and I don't want to start now.

77%...  Interesting.

My spreadsheet I've been keeping since not long after I started microstock works out to 82% for IS..  I assume this is because it doesn't take into account stuff that has been 'dollar binned' and deleted?

Either that or my spreadsheet is broke.  Might check. :-)

Sharply...  I'm surprised yours is that low, you do some good stuff.

Cheers, Me.

61.54%......... that sux! ....   however, let us all remember that many of those rejections DO finally get accepted after modification.  I assume that percentage is the initial rejections.  Many of my rejects only required a minor adjustment ( removal of a nike logo off a model's sock and nonsense like that).  So overall, we're still not so bad?        or are we.... LOL    -tom

I will out myself and give you guys a little more additional comfort, only 48% acceptance rate! I guess I use Photoshop to much..

69%

I am surprized that some of you (which I consider to be lot better photographers) have lower acceptance rate than me.

And I totally upload everything I have to iStock (since I hit the upload limit only couple of times in a year I have been doing this).

63% - 425 files portfolio

At last! A good development from iS, and one that doesn't bring the whole system crashing down around our ears, assign weird keywords, or take months of extra work to sort out.   

Mind you, not quite so good when I see my figure ... 66%

Never mind. I take it as a call to do better.

I wonder if they will alter the search in favor of those with a higher acceptance rate?

That's what I get nailed for the most  "over filtered" "over processed" .....   all this time I think I'm making it look better...  LOL   -tom

It's not really a problem per se, but more of an inconvenience. The only thing stopping me from having a larger portfolio on IS is time. Uploading an image that I think will make the grade - it's accepted by five other agencies afterall - only to have it rejected (usually for being "overfiltered") wastes a week of time before I can try again with something else.

Heh, mine sometimes get rejected for having artifacts even after I downsize from 17MP to 2MP!
