Title: best Istock rejection
Post by: anonymous on April 21, 2008, 18:08
Had to post this,
they're correct and i'm still misty eyed over the fact that they took the time to shoot me in the head so nicely (sorry, no "smily face with a tear)

** Too big a levels/curves/exposure adjustment in your RAW processor or image editor has created blocky posterization in shadow areas or has spread the color information out too much causing a degradation in image quality.**

Wow...a first for me and I'm in love with my terrorist/captor....(sniff)

Stockholm syndrome, they won't give up the goods or testify against their kidnappers.  ;D

I'd like to see the posterized photo too, because I'm on the path to get this rejection some day when I slip and submitt something that I've wacked out the adjustment.

I know most of you dislike the "anonymous" approach, but it has saved me some battles that I would normally avoid (so no-posty-the-photy). My point is that someone at IS actually gave a detailed reason for flushing the image and I'm rather impressed as opposed to being pissed off. Just wish other reviewers (Atilla-the-Bugger) would take the time to be so gentle as they plunge their bayonet into your flexing chest while you whimper "please...the designers will "love" this".
