Well, the cruising-on-approvals part hasn't happened for me yet. It's taking a day or so to get the ones I have pending reviewed. I guess that is still fast compared to most of the other agencies out there, so no complaints here. Granted, I'm not uploading as many as most of you guys are, either, just a handful at a time. I'm finding they are not taking any of my abstracts or fractal-type uploads at all. Not sure why, though. It says they aren't of commercial value. However, they are approving others, so not sure what the difference is. Hmmmmm....

PICK ME!

Don't feel bad, I have gotten some for that also. just so you know you aren't alone. 
I don't think they use the rule of thirds. Most of the ones excepted are dead on center. If there is even something that is cut off on the edge they reject that...that is the composition rejections.

Just a notice to those who do Raster Illustrations (fractals and the like), from my experience they have accepted very few.  "No commercial value" being the  reason for rejection.

Just to let you know . . . . . . . .

all and all they rejected about 100 of my raster illustrations, . . . . . oh well, some take 'em some don't.

I tried to upload some images to deposit photos to get my $.20's

First 100 or so got all accepted. From the next 300 or so, I got about 50 rejections. What I learned: Any studio background other than white (for example green, blue or yellow) gets rejected with note "improper background".

I also got a bunch rejected for "improper isolation" (those images were not meant to be isolated in any way...)

Okay, I'll just send them 150 of my boring "isolated on white" stuff and collect my $100.

Yes if you've got a single object and it isn't on bright white, then they do reject it. I had quite a few rejected that way. A couple of them I came back and isolated on a pure white background then they accepted them.

can't say as I've found this to be a problem !?

I had the same problem, the exact rejection reason is:

Background does not correspond to industry standard.
The image has to be clearly separated from the background. The background of the image has to contain natural colors. We recommend using black or white backgrounds such as those used in a studio. If different color background is used it has to harmonize with the picture. Please keep in mind that if necessary the background has to be easily separated from the picture by its end users.

Will I get my whole 100$ at the end of 500 uploads or I have to get after every upload...??
I have about 20 images online there, but my balance is still 0,00$...

I have 90c showing for u, so u must have 18 images approved !?  U did press the button to start the PPP program !  Didn't u !!??

No ! I didn't
I didn't know for that...

I activate now, I hope that be all right now...

Thanks Stu, once again! 

So if u now go to the Promotion tab, half way down your screen it should say :   Promotion Program Already Activated

Is that there !?  If so you're now in

How many files have u got accepted, if it's just the 18 then not worth worrying, otherwise u could email for them to be included in program.

Any from now, any accepted should show in your totals    Glad to be of assistance

I have 18 approved, 5 pending, 2 rejected...
Today is activated, will see if they will count these 18...

For now I am uploading only new photos, but in month or two I'll upload big batches from my archive...

Regards

It's unlikely they'll count those 18, but is it worth the hassle to get a few cents !?

I have 1 subscription sale there, but I have not uploaded much.  I need to go back and finish doing that.

My referral link: http://submit.depositphotos.com?ref=1001512

As Donkey from Shrek would say, "Pick me! Pick me!".

Haha.  With all the referral links in this thread, I figured someone had.

My wife and I are still waiting on approval at DP. They must be really slammed ...
