Hi
I have acceptance notice...
Your file "BlaBla image" has been accepted into to the iStockphoto collection.

http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup.php?id=9624315

and below that...

Additional Approval Note:
The following keywords used for this file do not appear to be fully relevant to the subject.

{[ Restoration Style,  Gilded]}

What to do now?
1. Nothing because they approved photo?
2. Or is better to delete this two keyword which is in some kind of doubt?

Yes for me it is doubt so, because it is fake baroque frame, it is not covered with golden leafs but who knows that? It can bee because now you can buy fake golden leafs for fake restauration of fake Baroque frames in my case  ;)
I know it is not fair when you have this in you hand but this is only picture of that anyhow is it real gold or not, like shoots of fake ice cubes...

Your lucky they approved it anyway.  I would delete the keywords and be happy it wasn't rejected :)

The keywords were already removed when you get that notice.

I'm just wondering why don't they always do this instead of rejecting an image altogether. This is a much faster and more efficient way.

I think they started doing this recently - I had a couple accepted this way.  Maybe they finally realized that rejecting for "wrong" keywords, was just a PITA for the submitter and it would be easier to just remove those keywords and accept the image.

You don't have to anything - whenever an image is approved like this the questionable keywords are removed.

That's one of the perks for exclusives - no rejections for bad keywords. Looks like some reviewers are extending it to non-exclusives as well.

Indeed the inspector must have really liked this shot to extend the exclusive perk to you.
Maybe you will stop calling them iStock now  ;D

If it's just a few words, they will normally remove them and pass it on.

It has happened to me a few times so far as well. Usually it was a couple of removed keywords only.

I dont know whats going with me, last month I am so calm  ;D

Next question. What I am doing wrong with color profile or its only bed rendering from Safari?



Image from Safari looks like you enter 0.8 value in middle tones in levels an make saturation -15.

Is it possible to force Safari to render real image?  ???
