Author Topic: Crestock Rejects? (Read 79956 times)

I am the originator of this thread. Over a couple months ago I was upset at getting rejected by Crestock and therefore vented my discontent throught this thread. Thereafter, after getting advices from Josh I figured that they were a few areas in my photographic and editing skills that needed improvement. I though that this would be beneficial not just for Crestock but for all other agencies and obviously myself. However, after over two months of following Josh's advises I am still getting 100% rejections!!!!!! Crestock, I have a question for you? As an entity, What is your ambition in life? What are you trying to accomplish? Because i don't think anyone here get it? If you were offering a premium gallery at a premium price then yes. But a premium gallery at $0.25 an image this is absurd. In the last 4 months I uploaded over 100 images and got 100% approval with SS, 100% approval with DT, 99% approval with FT, 100% approval with BS, 90% approval with IS, and 100% approval with 123rf. My last batch of more then 10 with Crestock was 100% rejected. At this point I am no longer concern about this as I do well enough with the others. However this is a forum about microstock for which Crestock is labelled as such and for which we can discuss about it. For me at this point it is purely out of curiosity. The quality of images that Crestock wants definetely requires many thousands of dollars invested in photographic equipment for which you will only get a ratio of about $0.02 per image per month. What is Crestock is trying to accomplish by doing this? Because I don't see how they can survive this? Denis

Happy new year everybody!!!!

... And still, the contributors seems to continue uploading loads of images...

Perhaps it's about time to stop doing that - at least for a while.. No images, no agency.... Then perhaps they might consider a more contributor friendly model and approach?

I won't waiste anymore precious time on them, that's for sure!

i uploaded my first 10 on crestock. all studio shots of people on white background. none of these pictures got ever rejected on the other 10 sites i upload.

result here: 2 ok / 8 rejected without any reason at all

i sent crestock an email to ask for rejection reasons. no reply (after more than one week now).

i decided to stop uploading there. it's waste of time....

One more proof about that they pick best quality images from batch and pay for sales just 25 cents... That is MICRO-MACRO phillosophy and that is what I didn't liked there... But, there are many other agencies who are glad to accept my or your images... So, pass Crestock and move to better earners!

Just adding this sentence: My people use to say for similar occasions: "fools tax"...

CS rejected 100 % of my batch, 5 min after submitting!

If only they accepted the best images. I had a few accepted recently, but compared to the ones they rejected for illogical and rather ambiguous reasons, I would not qualify the accepted images as having a better quality - far from it, some were rejected on other sites for flaws I missed in post processing.

Crestock have reject my 3d rendered images because they are not vectors! All my illustrations have been rejected because they say :"Images of this nature are usually submitted as vectors. Vectors are of superior quality, making them more commercially valuable."
3d renders and vectors are totally different animals. I won't be submitting any more images to them.

have experienced the same , rejection of perfectly good stock images that have passed review at all the big microstock sites. wrote an email to get my rejected images re-evaluated by a senior reviewer and suggested they check all their screens for calibration. i take rejection like the next microstock image supplier who takes pride in their uploads. sure you get a few, fair enough thats the game but whole batches that have passed scrutiny by far more successful stock libraries with tough reviewers, thats a different story and only means one thing for me, crestock has a big problem with the quality of their reviewers either not knowing what they are doing or not caring what they are doing. i have been with crestock for a long time and deserve to be treated better than this. i wont be uploading images or recommending crestock to anyone until they get there act together. out of courtesy i hope they will re-evaluate my rejected images. will keep you posted on this.

Jippie Jahoo,

THANKS CREJECTED STOCK

Alatriste · « **Reply #112 on:** January 18, 2009, 12:18 »

Same here.

Last 3 batches of total 150 (or more images) rejected (except 2 or 3 images)
Im have a lot of patience but this is enough.
I wont upload more images and wait until I reach a payout. Then I will delete my account.

If they can live without my images, I can live without their ridiculous comission and review sistem

goldenangel · « **Reply #113 on:** January 18, 2009, 13:30 »

They have been very efficient lately. All my images get rejected within a couple of hours

fljac · « **Reply #114 on:** January 18, 2009, 15:45 »

LOL!

How about if each of us send them 100 files of the worst garbage.... Just to give them something that really do decerve to be rejected LOL

... That should keep them busy for quite a while...

My last batch of 8 photos is rejected completely within 5 minutes...

I have same conclusion,game over.

Calamity_John · « **Reply #118 on:** January 25, 2009, 08:39 »

My last two batches of 10 have also been 90% and 100% rejected (respectively) within minutes of upload .. mostly for "too literal" or "demand only the best images in this area" .. and no matter how I look at which ones that have been accepted it looks very random to me .. given the speed of the process love at first sight I would guess ..

kaycee · « **Reply #119 on:** January 26, 2009, 15:37 »

Yabadabadoo within 5 min 4 out of 5 rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr no finaly...................... approved
Anyone else also this lucky today?

??

Kngkyle · « **Reply #120 on:** January 26, 2009, 16:37 »

Woot! Just had 66% accepted. 2/3

It was an extremely quick review though, like less than 60 seconds.

They were illustrations though - not as strict as with photos I guess.

MicrostockExp · « **Reply #121 on:** January 26, 2009, 17:48 »

Instant rejection 2/2

I am gettin use to it lol

traveler1116 · « **Reply #122 on:** January 26, 2009, 18:31 »

I like Crestock, it always give me a laugh to see the rejection reasons. One was for "stray hairs" and the "too literal" ones just confuse the heck out of me.

goldenangel · « **Reply #123 on:** January 26, 2009, 21:00 »

Last night I had one of my images approved in less than an hour after I submitted.

I was really surprised with that! However, I can see it only offered in small size, basically reduced to half of the original size. i am wondering if they decided to offer only a small one since the full size didn't' satisfy their criteria...

kaycee · « **Reply #124 on:** January 28, 2009, 13:15 »

Jippie great 5 out of 5 accepted within 5 min hope SS will follow...........lately got mre rejections at SS than at crestock.............
