I have been intrigued by the fast review time at SS. My 3 uploads yesterday were all done in one day.Has every one stopped uploading or what??But still very tardy on acceptance rates and same old excuses carte blanche-poor lighting, incorrect white balance and fuzzy ? images??

 I doubt that everyone has stopped uploading with 300K new accepted images toSS just this last week. Two years ago it was half that.

Shutterstock says that every image submitted is eyeballed by a human and I believe them. The only thing is I think that everything is first electronically flagged (pre-eyeball) for non-DSLR camera and possibly also white balance (over the whole image) and non-conforming histogram. Maybe also some automated system for noise, artefacts etc.
Anyway, before the reviewer sees the shot, it already has an automated 'flag' list. The reviewer then has to decide whether it can be accepted or not. If such a automated flaggging system exists/is used then I can imagine a reviewer has to be convinced of the quality/HCV of the image to let it pass when it has a couple of flags against it......with humans, you have the lazy ones and those doing their best to be fair.  So it remains a bit of a crapshoot.  ;D
