Every answer helps.

Thank you.

...
It's hurting my workflow because I use to submit several pictures together when I can use the same keywords (f.i. several views of a building in a small series, and then I finish with that building). ...

aren't you using metadata? then it wouldnt matter whether you submit one at a time or all in a batch

I mean that I use to select files by groups. Now I'm always thinking in the SS problem when I revise my pictures to collect my batches.

I use text files and copy-paste.

The point is that the suggestions are wrong. Don't know if they are based on metadata, shape, kw, titles or what...

You can skip that suggestions sometimes resubmitting but not in the similar content f.i.

Anyway It's stupid sending and sending every picture... meanwhile all of them are accepted in the rest of agencies.

But know, this system use to take the worst one and reject the best. A lot of work to lose best seller pictures.

This is the most stupid business ever.

I can't upload via filezilla to DP. Just with web uploader   ::)

231
Have you tried to delete the exif to skip the automatic rejections?

232
I think that SS can't manage the new stuff, millions of files every day. That's all.

Every batch I upload is reviewed in seconds or in a few minutes. Always. The last one 30 pictures, less than one minute and 26 rejections for similar content.

I don't know why some ports are full of spam and in the other hand some of us have random rejections on our files every time we upload them. Maybe the program filters are oriented in some way and a human clicks the program suggestion.

Anyway I need holidays from SS.




233
I think that a program can't read the pdf files handwritten. It's the easy answer to that bizarre rejection.

234
It's a program filter, not human revisors.

A nightmare for me.

Point to agencies with human revisors, istock or Alamy.

235
One year here and still don't understand RM picures. All my pictures are RF on Alamy.

Your RM are exclusive on Alamy?

A human can not reject for this reason:

Objectionable Metadata -- Metadata contains potentially objectionable or offensive language.

LOL.

I'm sure that SS, BS and AS are using programs to review the pictures. Maybe humans too, maybe a mixed system.

No doubt about it.

I talk about pictures.

I have no doubt for the last rejection. The program said "non licensable content" on both sites for a batch of 25. It was a just problematic word, because I have pictures from the same place uploaded and sold a month ago.

So, I removed the word and tried just one picture again on both sites.

The picture is rejected now for out of focus on both sites, nothing about "non licensable content".

It's very easy to realize that It's a program.

It's a program. The same one on SS and BS.

Can't find how to skip it, but I'm still learning.

Computers are stupid.

Newbie Discussion / similar content as editorial? (SS)
« on: November 08, 2019, 06:59 »
Hi.

I have a question. I have made two great shots of a international monument. It was a lucky picture, the hour, the sun, the light and the reflections.

So, I have two great pictures accepted in all agencies except SS... SS took just the horizontal caption and rejected the vertical for similar content.

My question is

Is a good option to try to sell the second one as editorial?
Or it is not a good option because I have a similar one as creative. I mean, don't want to devalue the creative one and don't know if the editorial licenses are always lower and would harm the sales of the first one.

Thanks for your answers.

Do you resubmit the similar content rejections?

Successful?

I think it's a program, I'm pretty sure now.

An egyptian obelisk rejected because I have not translated the hieroglyphs on the title.

A bell tower of an European Cathedral rejected because of trademark violation in title and keywords.

A 13th century architect still generating royalties.

I had a night cityscape rejected because a tiny little street sign that said "Yosemite Ave" was "untranslated foreign text".  AI - machine rejections are a lame waste of time.

The funniest thing is that I have found the ancient egyptian translation for my obelisk.

So It's in the title now.

Bizarre.

Following this thread out or curiocity, i cannot tell if it is just an AI or a combination of AI and curators scrolling down the results as galleries and comfirming rejections.

But it seems there is a pattern? SS and perhaps customers want it simple and generic. Bell, tower, ancient Egypt sculpture etc. E.g. I was busting my head and google to include exact descriptions of mantodea, mantis religiosa, when people will search for praying mantis. Similar perhaps SS directs content to be generic with titles usable in many similar search results?

Just a thought.

I think you're right and they are using the same program in BS. My pictures use to have elements as handrails or people focus not in the center of the picture. These are rejected now at the first time.

My kw use to be complex as yours too with architectural syles f.i. but I'm not sure about that.

As a non native Englsh speaker I use to search for synonymous too but... maybe the good option is house,church,cathedral,old and finish.

Same problem here. No rejections before this (5% ), now rejections about 30-40 %.
