Title: Editorial Inspections...
Post by: Shank_ali on August 20, 2011, 06:02
Come on Istock sort the backlog out for goodness sake.More inspectors or limit the amount of editorial content we can upload for inspection.
EG.i was in Plymouth this week and shot a small series about the famous Falmouth yacht race.What's the point of uploading the presentation stand/map/background of the 2011 event if it takes a month for the files to become available for sale.The event will be finished !

The 'non-newsworthy' or 'non-timely' feature of IS Editorial-lite is no surprise to (most) anyone.

I waited for this one. 30 days, no review on re-submit of editorial because they were scans and had no EXIF data. I got the advise from someone on the forum (no answer from a ticket to Scout which is over 30 days now) that I needed to check the film box, even if it wasn't film. OK there we are, now all I have to do is get the rejections?  :D

At least if I get accepted or rejected I can cancel the Scout ticket because it won't matter anymore.

Newsworthy or not, the editorial inspections are still a bit on the slow side. Creative is taking about 2 days, but editorial seems to be at about 10 at the moment in the exclusive que - I hate to think how long the non-exclusive one is.

may be two days for exclusives but not for the photographers that are independent. Generally if I do a big shoot I upload a few and slowly lose interest in uploading the rest. I am not excited by the royalty anymore so maybe thaat also is an influence. Not sure it is worth the hoops to jump through . Will editorial be a goer there?

Still waiting on some 9/11 WTC images to get thru queue uploaded last weekend in anticipation of the anniversary.  They are already up and selling at SS even though I uploaded a day later.
