Author Topic: Confounding rejections for "irrelevant keywords" (Read 5340 times)

This image—and other window and curtain drawings—was rejected due to irrelevant keyword, title and description. Please help me understand what the heck that means.

Here's the drawing on another site:

Here's the metadata:

The only ones I can think of is isolated and cut out which might be confusing to the reviewer. Maybe also the reviewer doesnt understand freehand, hand drawn, etc. Just guessing here.

I believe sometimes agencies dont like numbers, like 1. Photodune doesnt allow numbers for example.

Yeah, maybe 'isolated' and 'cut-out' don't really apply to vectors.
I'd probably not have thought of 'liability' for this image, but I see where you're coming from.
It's not very helpful if they don't at least indicate which they considered irrelevant.

Isolated and Cut out mean that you can take the image as it is and put it on any background, and it is like this.
I could even add that it is "more" isolated that a photo on white background without the clipping path included because in a vector image you can select all the elements, except the white background, copy it and paste it on any kind of background you want, this you cannot do it with an isolated photo where the clipping path is not included in the file.

So isolated and cut out are, from my point of view, absolutely right.

Maybe the inspector doesn't accept the keywords describing the technique used because they are not keywords describing the content of the image [?]

But unnecessary, because of the nature of vectors.

Indeed. What's so crazy is I have 1,000+ images on that site that are isolated white background objects and people. In fact they just accepted some with those keywords and "1". When I opened the file on their site, I saw some of the KWs repeated almost 10 times (a bug on their site). So I thought that was the problem. I deleted them and resubmitted. Nope. Same rejection notice. I'll just reupload and resubmit.

Thanks for offering your suggestions.

Yes, it is what I mean: the nature of (some) vectors is to be isolated
