I'm getting really frustrated. I was on a trip in Europe, and got a very nice sunny weather for shooting travel pictures. Blue skies and vibrant colors, just the way clients want 'em.
But when I submitted a batch of images to SS, they rejected about two thirds of them, because they didn't like my lighting. They didn't propably like the dark shadows caused by the sun. Looking at some crap they have accepted they seem to prefer their travel pics shot on an overcast day. Dull and grey, that's how they like them.
Grrrr!

The way you keep posting the name of the filter and links to it is actually making me think that perhaps this has all been made up just to get traffic to the filter site!
Same thing pops into my mind also. ZEPHOS (with capital letters!) and Filter Forge is mentioned in almost every message, without it being necessary at all. (Except this case would be bad advertisement for microstock submitters!)

Lot's of sites also have keywords attached to the images, easily searchable on (for example) Mac's Spotlight.

The person making the complaint is requesting that Shutterstock take appropriate steps against you. Prior to taking any further steps, we are inviting you to respond to this claim. I really cannot understand how another submitter can make a complaint about an image that isn't already for sale? This sounds just too strange, and makes it hard to believe the OP doesn't have anything to hide. One thing that also pops into my mind: Did Shutterstock ever get the OP's reply at all?

OT: Why would anyone even want to use that filter, the results doesn't even look like real film, at least the perforation doesn't look like 35mm film.
I think SS have done wrongly here; if the filter site says it's okay to use the filters for commercial use, then it is.

Just got some good shots rejected for "lighting". Yes, they had some shadows, without shadows everything looks flat, but that's how they seem to like it.

Sigh. A composite or panorama is fine.
The problem here is that an image can be rejected if it's bigger than camera's native size - even if it is a composite or panorama or "added white background". They should really concentrate only how an image LOOKS at 100%, not what it is shot with.

I had 'degraded image quality from upsampling' rejections because some pics were slightly larger than what my camera (exif) produces - I extended the white background on some very tight compositions, where the subject was almost touching the edges... of course the images were razor * sharp. Fail.
Images larger than native camera size are not allowed. Next time don't frame so sharp, or downsize a bit to add white around it.
I added a note for the inspector to inform him/her about one of photoshop's most basic functions that even novices know: how you can enlarge image area with the crop tool which includes no upsampling whatsoever. From the answer it was pretty clear that I was communicating with clueless dilettant. It's not just they didn't know about that property of the crop tool, but seemingly didn't even understand it thru my explanation. Double fail: an inspector of digital imagery with hardly any knowledge of photoshop, and lacking the mental abilities to understand a simple explanation. : )) Well trained chimpanzees could do a better job than that.
What? You can't enlarge an image without upsampling. Using the crop tool to do so is still upsampling. Even a capuchin would know that.
He wasn't upsampling, he was adding white background with the crop tool. The same thing as adding size in "Canvas size..." The crop tool doesn't resize the image if you don't type any size information in the boxes.

There has to be an easier way than riding the back of a now dead photographer.
Are you saying the photos made by the now dead photographer should be forgotten and hidden in cardboard boxes in some storage? The problem here is that the original poster needs to know exactly when the photos were taken, I'm guessing most of them doesn't have exact year...? I think the easiest way would be submitting these to Alamy as RM.

I have just opted-in, 100 files, good sellers and all. I mean seriously, Im against it but what the heck, it cant get any worse? or at least thats what I keep telling myself.
Funny going through ones own shots really, I am actually a great photographer!! possibly the best! well at least among the 3 best, globally I mean.
You too? Welcome to the club!

I just looked at my IS stats, made some maths and thought: "This month seems even worse than the horrible April!". How does your May stats at IS look like compared to April?

The fraction of a percent was definitely about the total change in royalties paid out, not the number of people it affected. "Oooops!". Then why the h*ll doesn't he call the reporter and tell him to set the facts straight? He just tries to squirm out of anything. And what does that even mean? That iStock royalty payouts were reduced by .1% and that affected dramatically... what? who?

I leave white space according to what looks aesthetically pleasing to me. Not too little, not too much.

there are 'bout 150 million ppl in the world who would look like that in that condition...
Yes, but it is still clearly just a photoshop job.

There are more ppl killed by heart atack from obesity, overfeeding and bad lifestyle every DAY in US then "terorrists" kill in the whole year worldwide...
I agree with your post, but the sentence above made me cringe. I don't think anyone has said that terrorists kill more people than "natural" causes? And everyone has to die sometime, for one reason or another, even if you stop eating burgers you might live 10 years longer but eventually you will still die.

The "thrown at sea" thing looks fishy to me. Maybe he's been dead fro natural causes long ago?
That would be a good explanation. I don't think the US government would like to admit they have failed in the terrorist hunt. IF Osama would have died from natural causes they would still have 1) Dead Osama 2) Dead Osama's DNA

Things seem to go the way depicted in my avatar  (I just hope the other sites would compensate for the losses)

It gives me some hope when I hear IS has plummeted to many others as well. Even this is bad for my earnings, I somehow enjoy IS getting hit badly - they have asked for it a long time and now they got it.
IS has dropped almost 50% from march. The last time earnings at IS was this bad was in february 2009.
Shutterstock had a good month, really close to BME
Dreamstime has been weak for a long time, but april 2010 was the best month since June 2009
Fotolia was pretty weak in april
I don't quite follow the small agencies, but I noticed that 123rf (BME!) and Veer are up!
Even with the positive signs from Shutterstock and Dreamstime, April was horrible.

I'm a bit skeptical about this. Why no official photos released? (Osama didn't sign a model release ? ) Why such a hurry? This reminds me about the death of Hitler. The soviets found dead Hitler and set his corpse on fire without even trying to collect evidence. And there still seems to be some debate if he fled to South America or other place.
